Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 20, 2016July 20, 2016Leave a Comment

From the moment she came out onto the Entertainment scene we have loved Amber Rose. Her fearless style, attitude and iconic hair just slays our life. Who else can rock a bald cut like her? Yet, one thing people have debated over and over again is Amber’s heritage. Well, Rose set the record straight and gave us a look at her new glamorous hairdo! Read on because Amber Rose confirms ethnicity and rocks longer hair!

Amber Rose Confirms Ethnicity

We’ve always seen a gorgeous mixed race girl before our eyes. Body always on point and makeup looks from the cosmetic gods. Yet, for some fans knowing her exact ethnicity was of concern.

A quick google search and you can see just how popular the subject truly is among Muva’s tribe. Heated back and forths with some claiming Rose wasn’t even black. If you or your friends ever wondered about Rose’s genetics here it is straight from her mouth. She stated via Instagram,

“I’m Black/Portugeuse/ Irish and Italian. So now y’all can stop arguing in my f***in comments about it.”

We could of sworn she had already said this years ago. Nevertheless, Amber Rose confirms ethnicity for her fans and other inquiring minds even though she didn’t have to at all. That’s a real G who keeps it ninety-nine plus one.

That Hair Though

Amber… Girl you better work! Rose changed things up again and we love the new hairdo. She added length to her famous blonde locks and fashioned them into a chic vintage style.

Just weeks ago Amber stunned with a longer haircut. As much as we love Rose bald we do enjoy seeing her switch it up every now and then. Her hair was sculpted by the fab Tony Medina and her makeup was beat by Priscilla Ono.

Espys 2016 Couples Fashion Must See!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 13, 2016July 13, 2016Leave a Comment

When one person has an amazing fashion moment it’s noteworthy. However, when a couple can burn up the red carpet they basically become style legends! Tonight at the Espys it was a designer’s heaven among the booed up celebs. Therefore, here is our Espys 2016 Couples Fashion Must See!

Espys 2016 Couples Fashion Must See

It may be a night about sports but the Espys 2016 couture could not be ignored! We spotted The Wilsons and also The Currys serving up major squad goals on the red carpet. So then, let’s begin with those love birds first.

The Currys looked radiant and we loved that they didn’t do the whole, “Hey, we’re a couple so let’s basically wear the same thing!” They demonstrated their individual style and taste. For instance, Ayesha Curry stunned in a Theia Couture burgundy gown. She did a matchy-matchy makeup look bringing her lip color and dress into perfect harmony. Moreover, Steph Curry stepped out in a bold custom Alba suit. His blue coat had us feeling some type of way.

Furthermore, the couple as a whole chose shades that complimented their skin tone. It’s nice to see them taking risks and playing with color. It definitely paid off!

Oh snap, wait a minute! Is that The Wilsons we see all up in it? Russell Wilson and his spanking new wife Ciara looked fantastic!

Now for many months they have slayed one red carpet event after the other. Actually they have been killing it ever since they started dating. So then, we weren’t surprised to see them looking like a bag of money.

Ciara has been killing it in Roberto Cavalli so she was like, “Well, if it’s not broken.” CiCi wore another Roberto Cavalli design in an alluring pink shade. Russell attended the Espys 2016 event in a well-tailored Tom Ford Suit.

Black on Black

There were a few black on black fashion moments tonight. One actually happened during the show on stage. Carmelo Anthony, Lebron James, Chris Paul and Mr. Wade rocked head-to-toe noire ensembles. They were making a statement in regards to gun violence and their attire was very appropriate as well as fitting.

Nevertheless, since those handsome four guys aren’t together let’s get back to the couples. Gabrielle Union and her man Dwyane Wade hit the Espys 2016 carpet before the show. Wade shut it down in a blue with black trim Givenchy suit. Union went all black as she strutted her stuff in an August Getty Atelier gown.

They’re humongous and can’t be missed. Big hoop earrings are a great edition to an ensemble for any girl brave enough to rock them. If you enjoy being edgy without onlookers thinking you’re too over the top; then, big hoop earrings will suit you well.

Big hoop earrings were even spotted coming down the runway this year. For the 2016 autumn/winter collection Giorgio Armani models rocked humongous hoop earrings. Fabulousity unlocked!

Furthermore, another great aspect about big hoop earrings is that they can be dressed up or down. Worn during the day and night. Thus, making them a very versatile accessory.

Pair them with denim and a fun tee for a cute day time look. Or use them to add a little drama to a LBD (Little Black Dress) at night.

Alrighty dolls today’s fashion showdown is between BBWLA and a BBHMM! Reality beauty Laura Govan and superstar singer Rihanna. Who wore the look better?
