Editor Pick: Rihanna’s Dries Van Noten Leather Jacket

Editor Pick: Rihanna's Dries Van Noten Leather Jacket

If I had to deem one item of clothing as being totally badazz it would have to be a leather jacket. Maybe it’s because it literally takes a hammer in order to beat it into submission to flatten stitches and have it take form. Or then again it could be the decades of Hollywood films that have shown action heroes and bad guys as well as girls wearing one thus giving off an exclusive “cool factor.” Whatever it may be the reason one fact remains… it’s just simply an iconic look. With that in mind, a Dries Van Noten leather jacket spotted on a sexy music star is fitting that description to a “T.”

How do you take a classic couture statement and make women want to wear it over and over again? As any major designer knows you have to revision it and make it fresh again. The leather jacket has been modernized season after season with details ranging from sleek to intricate.

Editor Pick: Rihanna's Dries Van Noten Leather Jacket2

I’m infatuated with the Dries Van Noten leather jacket spotted on Rihanna as she made her way through the streets of NYC. The embellishments make it an edgy, yet fun jacket to want to sport. Absolutely love all of the patchwork, pins and hanging key chains that have give the Dries Van Noten leather jacket an effortless rocker vibe. Being nicknamed Badgal RiRi it is like she was born to wear this jacket. It completely fits her style and aesthetic.

Rihanna turns heads with her designer threads. How did she finish off her look? Here is a style cheat sheet:

Pants: Citizens of Humanity Avedon Slick Skinny Jeans in Axel

Shoes: Celine Optic White Spring 2016 Rodeo Boots

Hat: X Girl Twill Logo Cap

Sunglasses: Adam Selman x Le Specs The Hunger Glasses in Satin Black.

Handbag: Dior Diorever Tote Spring 2016

Jewels: Dior Cannage Bracelets

Editor Pick: Rihanna's Dries Van Noten Leather Jacket3

All in all Rihanna’s outfit would retail for over $16,000! However, would we expect prices to be any less for designer fashions? Of course not and our lovely RiRi only deserves the best for all of her hard “work” (sorry, still addicted to the song LOL).

Car show attendee, Ciara, posed with a few of the industry’s hottest new reveals. She’s got a new four million dollar engagement ring (go girl) so our CiCi fit the high end event well.

Kelly Rowland Makeup Line For Dark Skin Girls!

Kelly Rowland Makeup Line For Dark Skin Girls

We were beyond excited to hear news of the Kelly Rowland makeup line! Kelly has always been such a beauty, so then it makes sense that she would want to spread her wings within the cosmetics industry. What is even more fabulous about the announcement is that the Kelly Rowland Makeup Line will also cater to those rocking with a little more melanin.

Being a gorgeous chocolate girl herself we are sure Rowland will be able to develop a collection that will be well-suited for ebony girls. Foundation and the like can easily become a headache when searching for a perfect tone match. Many makeup companies do not create tints that go deep enough to look natural and give off a seamless finish.

Kelly Rowland Makeup Line For Dark Skin Girls4

Nevertheless, who can forget the black supermodels who have come forward to say that MUAs (makeup artists) working designer shows did not have makeup on hand in order to make them up for the catwalk. Many of these very models have had to bring their own foundation just to get ready backstage. If the fashion industry can not meet the needs of dark skin women, who could?

Well, fortunately throughout the years women of color have spearheaded the movement that WE have to be the ones to change things for the better. Fashion icon, Iman, had to face the lack of cosmetics issue at photo shoots and runway shows during her era as well. These experiences inspired her to develop her own makeup collection for women of color. Kelly Rowland says Iman has inspired her to do the same. Rowland declared,

“My makeup artist Sheika Daley and I are actually starting a makeup line we’re making sure we make, well we’re starting off with lashes and then we’re going to have it grow for all women. But definitely making sure we have our chocolate girls covered. Gotta get the chocolate girls in there! We have to have that, you know. I think Iman has done a beautiful makeup line and I want to do it too!”

Yes, just as in the hair industry as more black girls make the move to design products by us and for us our needs from beauty to couture are sure to be met. Speaking of beauty, be sure to browse and shop our online 1966 Beauty Store! We have worked hard to bring you a comprehensive store that will include the best products for black hair and black beauty. Check it out and be sure to tell us what you think!
