90s babies and kids unite! Jeremy Scott has designed an epic collection featuring one of the best gal toon trios ever made. Last night, Jeremy Scott and his fashion forward girlfriends came together to celebrate the launch of the PowerPuff Girls x Moschino line.

The Purple Unicorn, Justine Skye, attended the event and shared her thoughts regarding the line. She seemed to have fun on social media showing fans her look for the party. She even made reference to a new change to her Instagram. For the past few weeks the singer had only posted black and white photography. Nevertheless, for the PowerPuff Girls x Moschino launch she was “colorful.” Justine went on to say,

“In love with the new collection Jeremy Scott! Thank you for having me, can’t wait to go to the show.”

Empire’s Serayah was also in on all the fashion fun. If time machines were real we would of thought Serayah had come out of one. We loved the styling of her boisterous ensemble right down to the choker! In regards to the line Serayah said,

“Always kisses for the genius Jeremy Scott for this amazing PowerPuff Girls line, I was always Bubbles who were you?!”

Jeremy Scott is truly a visionary when it comes to fashion. Scott has never had a collection that disappoints. His designs are for the girl who is not afraid to just be herself and enjoy life. Jeremy was happy to have Justine and Serayah apart of his big night stating,

“And these beauties last night! Serayah and Justine Skye last night wearing a mix of Jeremy Scott and Moschino for my PowerPuff Girls x Moschino Launch Party. #GirlPower.”

What is an Queen without her crown? Looks like Beyonce doesn’t have to worry about that question. Queen Bey had social media buzzing with the release of Coldplay’s latest single, Hymn For the Weekend. Beyonce is featured on the single as well as in the music video. In the vibrant video Beyonce is adorned by a headpiece by designer Laurel DeWitt.

The Laurel DeWitt brand is known for their enormously creative headwear. All metal apparel and accessory pieces are hand-crafted gems. Beyonce’s stylist Zerina Akers paired the Laurel DeWitt crown with a glamorous design by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla. It is a red and gold sequins embroidered gown fit for royalty. Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla gave details regarding the dress stating,

“ALL HAIL THE QUEEN! Beyonce floors us as she kills it in Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla. She wears a skin net lotus sequins hand embroidered dress embellished in gold sequins and crystals lined with red. A floor length Exotica Gota coat is worn over it. Hand embroidered in Gota, beads and multicolored Resham and appliqué work, it is an ensemble that screams Goddess at the very top of her game.”

We have to agree with that description. However, the glam did not just stop at the exquisite dress and Laurel DeWitt crown. For the Coldplay video Beyonce also wears a necklace by Erickson Beamon. All in all Beyonce’s fashions set the bar for music videos of 2016.

Rihanna’s Short Bob For The Ellen DeGeneres Show

Rihanna's Short Bob For The Ellen DeGeneres Show

Rihanna visited The Ellen DeGeneres Show and from head-to-toe she had viewers salivating. Starting from the top, Rihanna rocked a short bob hairstyle that instantly gave us a case of hair envy. Her short bob was sleek, sassy and oozing with flirtatious allure. We loved the deep middle part and blunt cut detailing. Rihanna’s short bob proves that less can be more.

In the fashion department Rihanna was just as stunning. Rihanna dazzled in an Alexandre Vauthier Vanishing Skirt that retails for $1,333. Like diamonds, shoes are a girl’s best friend and RiRi showed off hers. She adorned her legs with Louboutin Python Pumps.

Rihanna was on hand to talk about the release of her long-awaited Anti album and upcoming world tour. Ellen poked fun at the songstress bringing up Drake and even played a game of Never Have I Ever with Rihanna and George Clooney. A very funny moment ensued when Ellen inquired about sending a sext to the wrong person. Check it out below:

However, it wasn’t till Rihanna’s one on one interview with Ellen that the short bob had us fully in a hair trance. It swung gracefully as she answered every question with a bit of humor. Watch it below:

Halle Berry Talks Hollywood Diversity Since Oscar Win

Halle Berry Talks Hollywood Diversity Since Oscar Win

Hollywood diversity has been a real hot topic as of late. New school and old school entertainers have all took a turn weighing in on things. This week Halle Berry spoke of Hollywood diversity while she attended the Makers 2016 conference.

This year the Oscars were deemed as being slanted or one-sided. Halle would be the perfect woman to speak on this matter due to the fact she has actually won an Academy Award. Moreover, her acceptance speech highlighted the very struggle actors and actresses of color faced… Hollywood diversity. Berry reminisced,

“I believed that in that moment, that when I said [during my acceptance speech], ‘The door tonight has been opened,’ I believed that with every bone in my body that this was going to incite change because this door, this barrier, had been broken. To sit here almost 15 years later, and knowing that another woman of color has not walked through that door, is heartbreaking. It’s heartbreaking because I thought that moment was bigger than me. It’s heartbreaking to start to think maybe it wasn’t bigger than me. Maybe it wasn’t. And I so desperately felt like it was.”

Yes, believe it or not it has been 15 years since Halle’s win and a woman of color has not won since. Therefore, what is the problem, why are actors/actresses not winning or being nominated? Many have their views and theories, but some feel Viola Davis hit the nail on the head when she said, “Opportunity.” Halle Berry seems to agree, at the conference she stated,

“As filmmakers and as actors, we have a responsibility to tell the truth. And the films, I think, that are coming out of Hollywood aren’t truthful. … They’re not really depicting the importance and the involvement and the participation of people of color in our American culture.”

Opportunity of receiving choice roles and true representation in film seems to be slowing progress in Hollywood. Where is our Cleopatra, Romeo and Juliet, Ben Hur, Chariots of Fire, Terms of Endearment, Rain Man, Forest Gump, Gladiator, Million Dollar Baby, The Artist and Birdman? Most films that win Oscars only show people of color under one light. From Gone With the Wind to 12 Years a Slave movie goers have only been treated to one part of Black History. We challenge filmmakers to go outside the box and take chances. For if we want Hollywood diversity to change we must also be diverse in story lines and production.

8 Black Celebrities Prove Blonde Hair Is Fun

8 Black Celebrities Prove Blonde Hair Is Fun

You have probably heard it time and time again that blondes have more fun. Maybe it is because blonde hair color is a bold tint for black hair or maybe it is just exciting to try out new hair colors. Nevertheless, our favorite celebrities can’t seem to get enough of the golden shade!

We have complied a list of 8 black celebrities to prove our point, but before we get into that we decided to give a little hair advice to help maintain blonde tinted hair. Color treated locks need to be handled gently and with great care in order to protect it from damage. Here are some tips:

  1. Use heat styling tools on a lower heat setting to protect tresses that may be more fragile due to the coloring process.
  2. The lightening/highlighting process is no joke, in-between salon visits treat hair with plenty of conditioning treatments to help strands rebuild from any damage.
  3. Keep blonde color from growing dull by using a clarifying shampoo every few weeks.
  4. Base your hair color on how much money and time you are willing to invest in order to maintain it.
  5. Keep hair strong by using a strengthening spray formulated for color treated hair on a weekly basis.

Now what you have been waiting for, some blonde hair inspiration just in case you are on the fence about taking the blonde plunge.
