Hair is an accessory. If you want an ensemble to be a perfect ten then tresses can not be simply ignored or overlooked. The fashions of the BET Awards 2017 red carpet were drop dead gorgeous and spotlighted 6 hot style trends of 2017. Did you catch them all?
If not be sure to hop over to our BET Awards 2017 fashion recap post where we break it all down and recap yesterday’s best looks. Nevertheless, right now it’s not about the gowns, suits or high end designer garb. One hairstyle flexed its power during the award ceremony proving that it’s not about length when it comes looking elegant and sexy.
BET AWARDS 2017: Hair Trend – The Bob
Will the hottest hairstyle of 2017 please stand up? At the BET Awards it was The Bob that was spotted every single time we looked right or to the left. Shorter length hair seemed to be the look of choice of the night. Letoya Luckett, Amber Rose as well as Sibley Scoles all sported shorter locks.
However, which ladies came to the award show with slamming bob cut hair? We noticed: Remy Ma, Karrueche Tran, Cardi B, Kat Graham and Nafessa Williams rocking bobs, to name a few.
Thinking about giving this trendy hair look a try? When it comes to to styling remember blunt cut bobs translate into being more edgy. If you would like to wear a bob with a softer effect, aim to add waves or curls for a more care free tousled effect.
They were the heels seen all around the world! At this point its like forget the music video we just want those heels! Rihanna is always a slick business woman, giving glimpses of her future fashion ventures for all her fans to catch. In the newly released Wild Thoughts video RiRi shakes her thang while showcasing her latest collaboration with iconic shoe designer, Manolo Blahnik. Which design in particular has every fashion lover in a tizzy? Feast your eyes on Rih’s Manolo Blahnik Poison Ivy Heels!
Yeah Rih! Days ago we were all just excited about DJ Khaled and his son Asahd Tuck Khaled finally getting the visuals and vocals in. Then the real surprise occurred, Rihanna’s undeniable style moment. Her blue dress was sexy, but it was really her heels that stole the show!
Not too long after Wild Thoughts debut, news hit which later was confirmed by Manolo Blahnik himself that the shoes were in fact from Rihanna’s upcoming collection. The now infamous caged Manolo Blahnik Poison Ivy sandal heels will retail for a whopping $2,325! Certainly a splurge or one of those deals where all your girls pitch in and share a pair.
The rest of Rihanna’s collection with Manolo Blahnik is just as stunning. The utilization of precious stones as well as clear straps maintain its theme throughout. We love the details because it perfectly marries indulgence with tons of sex appeal. Nevertheless, we are not surprised that Blahnik and Rihanna have created such magic. For this is not the duo’s first rodeo together.
Last year, Rihanna and Manolo Blahnik released the Denim Desserts collection which had wild success. Therefore, this makes this latest collaboration the pair’s second collection together. The new collection is called, So Stoned and will be released on July 6th. Happy saving dolls and may the odds forever be in your favor when it comes to getting your hands on RiRi’s shoes. We all know they have the tendency to go fast!

Naomi Campbell, Iman, Tyra Banks, Beverly Johnson, Donayale Luna, Jasmine Tookes and Jourdan Dunn. All black supermodels who have help push open the door wider in the fashion industry in order to allow for more diversity. Now name twenty black designers. Sadly that is a little harder to do for most and only goes to prove there is still more work to do within the fashion realm. Nevertheless, fashion label Saints by SJ is working hard to change the style game, yet again.
Saints by SJ, Black Girls Killing the Fashion Industry
So then, who is this new fashion brand that is taking the industry by storm? Sisters Natacha and Anise Saint-Juste, make up the fashion design-duo behind SAINTS by S.J. The Haitian born designers know all about honing one’s craft as well as “keeping it in the family.”
Their father was a tailor who passed on his plethora of skills, thus teaching his girls the art of fashion construction. Garnering such experience served these talented ladies well. Apprenticeship under the watchful eye of their father allowed Natacha and Anise to gain the same level of couture aptitude as any student attending a school for fashion design.
This education gave the girls much confidence to take on the beast known as the fashion industry. They recently showcased their Saints by SJ Spring/Summer 2017 collection which oozed of sophistication as well as romanticism. The sisters are a fresh breath of style air that are plowing the road and movement of more black girls making waves in fashion. The diversity tide is certainly turning and thanks to designers such as Saints by SJ it is having one powerful effect!

Amber Rose is getting her major attention right now in lieu of her annual Slutwalk, a cause which aims to end rape as well as victim blaming and slut shaming of any sexual assault victims. Whether people agree with the movement or not, one thing they can agree on is that Rose knows how to get the word out and look bomb doing it. Her physique is thick and lovely, but we have always loved her luminous looking skin and perfectly shaped eyebrows. Fortunately, Amber is spilling her eyebrow hair transplant surgery secrets so that one and all can have amazing brows! She credits the office of Dr. Jason Diamond as being the source of her gorgeous beauty maintenance.
Amber Rose Reveals Eyebrow Hair Transplant Surgery Secrets!
“If you’re like me and suffer from extremely thin eyebrows that just wont’ grow hit up this amazing surgeon Dr. Champagne at Dr. Jason Diamond’s office. I got eyebrow transplant surgery about five months ago and they grew in full and bushy so I can arch them exactly the way I want them to fit my face!
No going under anesthesia! No cutting! I searched far and wide and found the perfect person to do this for me and now I want to share it with you guys. And no this is not an ad I’m just looking out for my guys and girls that share the same problem as me.”
So then, looking for a way to make your eyebrows look less sparse naturally? Eyebrow Hair Transplant Surgery is a great option because as Rose mentioned it is not invasive. Plus, you will not have to look like you are taking crayons to fill in your brows anymore.
The only downside is of course the price. On average the procedure can cost between $5000-$8,000. This would definitely be considered a beauty splurge!
