The 2016 CFDA Awards had every starlet bringing her A-game to the red carpet! Crystals, turbans and even multiple style changes were all apart of the fashion scene. There is much to discuss and gab about so we will just get right to it. Here is our 2016 CFDA Awards fashion recap!
2016 CFDA Awards
Naomi Campbell
We are going to kick things off with fashion royalty! Naomi did not come to play with these little girls she came to slay (LOL)! Timeless Campbell showed off her physique in a sexy design by Brandon Maxwell.
Ciara
Can she get anymore glamorous! As soon as we laid eyes on her we immediately recognized her lovely dress which was previously worn by another attendee who we will talk about next. Cici slayed in a extremely chic gown by Roberto Cavalli.
Jasmine Tookes
If you wondering about the mystery girl who has worn Ciara’s Roberto Cavalli dress it is the fabulous Jasmine Tookes. Tookes wore the RC dress in an editorial for the May issue of Vogue. For the 2016 CFDA Awards Jasmine donned a black tan dress with hand embroidered tonal sequins by Prabal Gurung.
Jourdan Dunn
Jourdan just keeps killing the fashion scene! After taking our breath away in a metallic Balmain dress at the Met Ball were excited to see what she would wear to the 2016 CFDA Awards. She stunned in a Jonathan Simkhai beaded floor-length gown.
June Ambrose
Ambrose is always fun to watch coming down a red carpet. This year she brought it in true June Ambrose flava! She a red Zac Posen gown paired with custom Donald Robertson turban. She finished off her look with a fun pair of Brian Atwood heels and clutch by Alexander McQueen.
Imaan Hammam
Showing individual style is so important. One darling that we noticed do just that was supermodel, Imaan Hammam. Literally no one else looked like her and it was quite refreshing. Her look was very fun and totally matched her personality. Imaan’s girly-girl dress was by Coach.
Jennifer Hudson
Hudson actually had two looks of the night but we are choosing to focus our attention on one in particular. From the moment she entered the red carpet you could tell Hudson felt like the belle of the ball. Isn’t that how fashion should make you feel? Hudson stepped out in a Resort 2016 onyx and crimson crepe strapless asymmetric gown with sculptural inserts by Prabal Gurung.
La La Anthony
Hey girl we see you! Some dresses are not created equal. Maybe its convenience or maybe its because we wish designers would do it more; but, whenever we notice a dress with pockets we simply go ape. How nice is it to be able to slide a lipstick or keys in your own pocket without having to pull the Hey Hold This on the BF? Anthony came to the big show in a super chic dress by Fendi. Go Fendi!
Gabrielle Union
Shhh! Union had a hot date for the night and it wasn’t her hubby! No conspiracy or drama here it was designer Lela Rose. Fittingly, Gabrielle wore a design by Rose and gushed about how much she loved wearing it via social media. She was absolutely glowing so we could instantly tell that she meant every single word.
Joan Smalls
She’s freaking supermodel so of course she was going to look amazing! With her sick bod she could drape a curtain around her from her hotel room and be good to go. Nonetheless, we’re going to talk about her anyway as we shove down Doritos (HaHa). Smalls attended the CFDA Awards in Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci. More deets on her new beauty look here.
Laverne Cox
What’s to say? As always she came…she conquered…and my gawd did she slay! Laverne glided down the red carpet in a Marc Bouwer design accompanied with shoes by Ionia. Cox completed her ensemble with beautiful jewels by Monica Sordobk.
Samira Wiley
You probably can already guess why we are cheesing over Samira’s couture! We won’t say since we already brought it up, but its nice to see women who aim for comfort and style. Wiley floated into the Hammerstein Ballroom in a Milly Michelle Smith gown. We thought the dress looked stunning on her.
Alek Wek
One thing that literally everyone could agree on was that Alek Wek looked great! She had such a moment on the red carpet. She was twirling and having fun with the paparazzi just eating out of her stylish hands. It didn’t stop there, Wek just kept the Gone With The Wind fabulous vibes going all night. Alek wore a Proenza Schouler dress with Aquatalia shoes.
Beyonce
We saved the best for last. Come on, she won the Fashion Icon Award so fully deserves the spot. Beyonce blew everyone with her speech pointing out how designers have often ignored curvier women. Also, if you are a GOT throne fan she threw in a Khalessi reference too (yes, we nerded out). For her big win the fashion icon won a dazzling Givenchy suit from the fall 2015 collection.

Ciara we weren’t ready for all the slayage! Our girl CiCi caused another break in the Internet yesterday with her insane physique and style. The dime piece singer was in Los Angeles, California to promote this Sunday’s Billboard Music Awards which she is hosting with hip hop artist, Ludacris. To help get the word out the pair that collaborated on Ciara’s hit song Ride It, visited funny man Jimmy Kimmel on his popular late night show. Ciara stunned from head-to-toe in the studio and on the streets of NYC in a sexy white David Koma dress.
Ciara’s David Koma dress highlighted every last one of curves! The hip hugging design screamed, “Hello!” With a deep plunging neckline as well as thigh high slit. Ciara looked like a perfect 10 and with a body like hers why not flaunt it?
The David Koma dress was the main entrée to the serious style CiCi was serving up at Jimmy Kimmel Live. However, let us not forget her absolutely flawless hair and makeup! Ciara accentuated her chic David Koma gown with flowing blonde waves and a beauty look that included a bold red lip. Ciara is naturally beautiful and does not need much makeup if any. However, it was still wonderful to see Ciara in such an alluring lip shade. Such an enticing makeup choose harmonized well with her overall look.
If this is Ciara’s style just for promotion we can’t wait to see what she wears Sunday! Mark your calendar and don’t forget to catch Ciara and Ludacris host the Billboard Awards May 22nd at 8pm.

Ciara’s boo Russell Wilson came to support his girl at Jimmy Kimmel
This year’s hairdos spotted at the 2016 Met Gala were just as exciting as the fashions that accompanied them. It wasn’t just about length or whether strands were up or down. There was one trend in particular that seemed to take the cake among the stars.
Hair color, hair color, hair color and say it with us, hair color! The 2016 Met Gala saw a wide range of hues. The varied looks included all ends of the spectrum. From platinum to rich deep, reddish plums. Highlights were also big on the 2016 Met Gala red carpet. However, enough yapping right? Here is quick breakdown of all the various hairstyles that revived our 2016 Met Gala Hair of the Week Award!
Amandla Stenberg
She literally allowed her hair to be her crown of glory. We absolutely adored her gold hair accessory.
Cynthia Bailey
After the show is the after-party! Reality starlet and model Cynthia Bailey hit the 2016 Met Gala after parties with a voluminous curly fro accented with a crown braid.
FKA Twigs
Here’s how to give those French braids a twist… literally. Twigs wore a braided updo that twisted at the nape up to about center. The look also incorporated hair jewelry that seamlessly went with her designer gown.
Beyoncé
Many could not simply take their eyes off Bey’s backside. We couldn’t either… her sleek tresses with the blonde hair color and highlights were seriously on point!
Zendaya Coleman
This is so modish and elegant we can’t stop staring. This cut is all about precision and execution. If you were born with retro and vintage vibes running through your veins you just gazed upon your new hairstyle.
Kerry Washington
She may have been wearing all black but Kerry’s hair was all types of bold. There was nothing subtle about her hair color that complimented her loose waves. If you’re going to the attend the Met Ball you might as well go all out or just stay home.
Jourdan Dunn
She had us at asymmetrical hair cut. Dunn’s Bob was pure perfection and only seemed to become more stunning from every angle. Moreover, the gray hue with dark roots was just killer.
Nicki Minaj
Her expertly placed platinum hair color showed true craftsmanship. Take note how the color extended all the way to the very tips. Bravo colorist, bravo.
Ciara
She’s currently working on a new album so why not a new hairstyle? CiCi came to slay with vintage waves and metallic silver strands.
Lupita Nyong’o
One of the most talked about hairstyles of the 2016 Met Gala outside of Ciara came via Lupita Nyong’o. Lupita took natural hair to new heights with a five tier updo.

Ciara’s hair this week made us want to get up and one, two step! Her tresses looked like they belonged in the grand state of Texas where everything is bigger. Ciara’s gorgeous voluminous waves spotted in NYC was quite fitting for the humongous news she had in her possession for this year’s BBMAs!
The BBMAs better known as the Billboard Music Awards are fast approaching in order to honor the best of the best in music. Ciara was on hand with hip hop artist Ludacris in New York City to announce this year’s nominees. However, the announcement would not be the only time we see this dynamic duo together in 2016. Ciara and Ludacris will be the hosts of the 2016 BBMAs next month!
This will not be Ludacris’ first stab at hosting one of the year’s hottest musical events. Like the Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls Ludacris will 3-peat this year. So then, let us give a quick round of applause to Luda for scoring yet another hosting spot on the BBMAs.
Luda and CiCi make a great pairing for the show. They already have a smash hit under their belts due to working together. If the song Ride It came to mind go ahead and brush your shoulder off. You sir/ma’am are a music “G.”
Before this post closes let’s get back to that hair! Ciara scores our Hair of the Week award due to sheer volume alone. For weeks Ciara has rocked braids, updos and mostly very loose hanging waves. However, CiCi changed up her hair game by letting out her inner diva. She is serving us Diana Ross glamour. Moreover, the deep middle part gives her locks even more sleek attitude. We love it and hope to see more of it.
Congratulations to all of this year’s musical nominees. You can catch this year’s BBMAs hosted by Ciara and Ludacris on May 22nd. The show will air live on ABC network at 8/7c.

Well okay then future Mrs. Russell Wilson! Ciara was stopping traffic and taking names as she attended this year’s New York International Auto Show. The New York International Auto Show or NYIAS for short is the place to be if you or Bae have a love for metal on four wheels. The show offers attendees the opportunity to see new vehicles as well as car concepts. A family event that even offers group tours so that any fashionista can truly relax, pick up some tidbits and truly feel apart of the auto clique.
Moreover, the New York International Auto Show also brings out the rich and famous set as well. For one thing they are ones who can most likely can afford to take a showcased whip home. Remember that show Cribs that came on MTV when we were kids? Some of those celebs probably spotted one of their soon-to-be rides at a major auto show such as the NYIAS.
Ciara Posing With Design By Jeep
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. Speaking of high end, Ciara’s attire was of the same caliber. CiCi wore a vest and shorts set by Versace with shoes by Stuart Weitzman. From head to toe Ciara’s outfit went 0-100 real quick!
Hair Notes: The some up with some down look is not just for little girls. Add some sex appeal to the style like Ciara by leaving face-framing, wispy pieces to hang loosely.
Ciara took a moment to pose it out with television host Andy Peeke. We love his expression in this pic (lol).

The 2016 Fashion LA Awards was seriously PACKED with tons of star power. From Kanye, who recently admitted to being a Bieber fan to Nick Jonas we had many reasons to be Jealous. Nevertheless, we sucked up our style pride and feasted our eyes on two beauties who literally brought it and then some! Ciara and Karreuche Tran shut it down in all black and white attire.
We will begin with the lovely Ciara who attended the Beverly Hills event with her new fiancé Russell Wilson who wasn’t too shabby himself! Ciara dazzled at the Fashion LA Awards in a black gown by Alexandre Vauthier. Ciara and her beau proved that the couple that looks chic together stays together!
Alright, on to another one of our favorite style killers, Karreuche Tran. Flash tattoo designer Karreuche showed some skin in a two piece ensemble by Open Ceremony. We loved the addition of the gold cuff which gave her look an even more luxe vibe.
Believe it or not fashion friends but this look by Tran for the 2016 Fashion LA Awards almost didn’t occur! Tran’s stylist, Bryon Javar, revealed via Instagram that Karreuche’s look was changed just hours before the carpet and a new seamstress needed to be located after a cancellation. Javar worked his magic and got a seamstress and was able to send out Karreuche in her white goddess couture paired with shoes by Azzedine Alaia.
Javar sounds like the type guy you’d want around in a fashion pinch! Karreuche is a lucky gal to have such an amazing team and they definitely created style magic last night. However, Ciara and Karreuche have more in common then just great fashion, more on that in our upcoming hair post!

The 2016 Grammys saw many hair trends come to the fore, one of our favorites was worn by songstress, Ciara. Ciara walked the red carpet with her handsome BF, Russell Wilson, in a daring gown by Alexandre Vauthier. To accompany her 2016 Grammys look, Ciara kept her hair simple with a low ponytail.
Some gals tend to shy away from wearing a ponytail because they feel that the hairstyle can be a little dull at times. Nevertheless, Ciara’s take on the low ponytail shows that drama can be created by adding just a few touches.
Ciara and Russell Wilson Attend 2016 Grammys
What touches can you add to your hair that will be Ciara inspired? Try these!
Highlights- Hair color instantly adds dimension.
Wisp It Good– Allow a few face framing strands to flow effortlessly near the hair line. Will give off sexy, relaxed, yet sophisticated vibes.
Back Up– The back is important as the front, so have fun with the tail by adding braids or twist detailing.
Go Big– Forget a small part, be dramatic like Ciara by including a deep middle part for extra flair.

Thanks to a few choice words penned by a journalist Ciara had television viewers thinking, “Wardrobe Malfunction Part Deux?” Oh, who of us can forget the Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake Super Bowl performance oops? If it hadn’t been for that little onstage situation TiVo and DVR may have failed to become such an important entertainment entity. However, many would agree that Ciara’s national anthem performance was far from being at risk of becoming yet another infamous style moment for all the wrong reasons. Yet still, Ciara causes fashion stir at national championship.
Ciara Causes Fashion Stir At National Championship
As numerous CiCi fans have tweeted, hashtagged and Instagramed; Ciara looked simply divine. Ciara wore a cape gown by Yousef Aljasmi that gracefully showed off her curves. As social media heated upon sight of her ensemble, Ciara’s sexy NFL boyfriend, Russell Wilson had a few words of his own. Russell took to his personal social media stating,
“I see you baby! Sounded amazing and looked flawless in every way!”
Alright ladies altogether now, “Awwww!” Pushing aside the fashion controversy we have to agree with Wilson that Ciara looked flawlessly chic. Nevertheless, what are your thoughts on Ciara’s dress and was it appropriate or slightly too much for a national broadcast? Weigh in dolls!
Fashionable Mention: Ciara is not the only drop dead gorgeous starlet to wear a Yousef Aljasmi design. Fellow singer and talented actress Keke Palmer wore another gown by the designer to the People’s Choice Awards. Looks like Yousef Aljasmi is becoming the go-to designer to the rich and famous!

Sassy Ciara is already getting a head start on spring 2016 fashion and trends. Ciara posted a photo for her fans showcasing Coach’s Mercer Bag for Spring 2016. The bag is perfect for a busy, businesswoman who needs a little extra room to house the day’s necessities.
Like Ciara we absolutely love the color choice of Coach’s 2016 bag which falls right in line with the year’s colors. Moreover, the pretty blue tint is a very fresh use of spring’s usual light, airy shades. What do you think of Ciara’s Coach Spring 2016 handbag, would you rock it?
