Arianne February 6, 2019February 6, 2019

She’s style, she is grace, she’s a cover girl oh hey! Supermodel IMAN Covers InStyle March 2019 edition and she is looking as fabulous as ever. In the article, InStyle discusses her iconic career and more!

IMAN Covers InStyle March 2019 Issue -Fashion’s Unrivaled Empress

How did IMAN come to have such an amazing career in the tough and gruff modeling and fashion industries? Well, the model is discussing just that to InStyle. Regarding the piece and IMAN’s gorgeous visuals, the magazine says,

“Supreme. For our second March subscriber cover, IMAN wore this t-shirt as an homage to her stature as an unrivaled deity of the modeling world; a trailblazing cosmetics entrepreneur; and a long-standing advocate for women. (Although it was her idea for it to be wet!).

Her career has spanned four decades. And although she retired from the runways in 1989; she continues to outpace some of her youngest peers both in relevancy and ad pages. Most recently doing campaigns for Valentino and Balmain.

‘My plan is just loose. It’s kind of weird, because I’ve worked all my life, from when I was 14 years old… I’ve stumbled into things; or things found me. So now I’m at a stage where i’ll just see what happens.’

IMAN Covers InStyle March 2019 Issue

So really, how did the wet tee shirt thing come about? It’s such a sexy move and InStyle’s Fashion News Director, Eric Wilson had the full scoop! Wilson reveals,

“About that time I had to ask IMAN why she decided to pose in a wet T-shirt for the cover of InStyle. ‘I suggested it,’ she told me. ‘I’m 63 — why would I have a Supreme T-shirt? It’s just a boring T-shirt. It’s too young and too hip.

So (on the set) I said, jokingly, ‘Why don’t we get it wet?’ And as I said it, everybody said, ‘Yeah!’ I was like, “F&%&, now I have to deliver.'”

Sounds juicy. Also, Eric says there is more to the story. So get the details on that as well as the rest of interview at www.instyle.com/celebrity/iman-march-feature.

Arianne December 12, 2018December 12, 2018

HOLD UP… Serena Williams Covers Teen Vogue December 2018 Issue! The magazine hit up social media this morning to announce it by stating, “Our December cover is Serena Williams! [In this issue you can] read her conversation with activist Naomi Wadler and new Teen Vogue editor-in-chief Lindsay Peoples Wagner.”

This cover comes on the heels of the trio (Williams, Wadler and Wagner) getting together for the recent Teen Vogue Summit. An event where hundreds of influencers and young leaders flock to make new friends, challenge new ideas and work to make the world better.

Furthermore, Wagner is continuing to make black girl history; since she has become the latest Editor of color to head a major print/digital publication. Lindsay has only been the Editor-in-Chief of Teen Vogue for a little over a month. However, she looks forward to working hard and bringing continuous amazing content to the table.

Serena Williams Covers Teen Vogue December 2018 Issue

For the edition Serena makes quite a fashion statement. The tennis superstar demonstrates how to mix glamour with relaxed couture. How? Well, be sure to dissect her shot in which she rocks a green animal print ensemble.

At first glance, the Off White snakeskin, ruffle number seems to be doing all the style taking; however, do a double take. Underneath you will notice Williams pairing it with a pair of stylish pants. The bottoms are from her very own fashion label, Serena.

Nevertheless, peer even closer and you notice an even more awesome fashion find and trend… sneakers. Yes, those are Nikes peeking out and in no way harms the overall vibe of her look. Sneakers and dresses are a chic, fun fit seen on everyone from Rihanna to Beyoncé. As a result, we love the fashion risk-taking spotted in this issue and think it is absolutely perfect for a mag as trend-licious as Teen Vogue!

Jennifer Dickinson, the Digital Director of Net-A-Porter as well as Editor of PorterEdit had a few words on the newest edition as well. Regarding the issues she says,

“It’s our third annual Women in Television issue and it is truly the best yet.

And the photographs by Matthew Sprout with Alison Edmond and Gemma Stark; are more beautiful than even I could have asked for (and I always ask for the moon).

It was, as usual, a somewhat crazy day; but it was also, for me personally, a day when I was challenged; when I was found lacking; and when I was motivated to truly up my game. With Ellen Pompeo, Gina Rodriguez, Gabrielle Union and Emma Roberts as my Jimmy Crickets, I can’t fail. Watch read and be moved, folks. Incredible Women. Screen Queens.”

Serena Williams GQ 2018 Woman of the Year- Hanging with the Big Boys!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on November 13, 2018November 13, 2018

James Brown wasn’t lying, “It’s a man’s world.” However, behind every strong male is a strong woman doing her thing too! Athlete Serena Williams is certainly one of the greatest to EVER pick up a tennis racquet; with several gold medals and 22 Grand Slams. Nevertheless, now men’s mag, GQ wants to ensure that everyone knows it beyond a doubt. The Serena Williams GQ 2018 Woman of the Year cover signifies not only Serena’s iconicism, but her ability to hold her own with the best of the best.

Every year GQ releases a list of guys who they feel are among the elite go-getters. There’s actors, sports figures and also superstars of music. For instance, actor Michael B. Jordan leads the pack, scoring the nod from GQ for the wild success of Black Panther, instantly turning Jordan into a highly sought-after leading man.

Serena Williams GQ 2018 Woman of the Year- Hanging with the Big Boys!

However, the gentlemen need to scoot over, because the queen is also in the building! Serena amongst criticism this year over her attire on the tennis court, to how she defended herself to umpire; rose above the drama to still land as the second best player at the U.S. Open. That’s after a death scare during her pregnancy and giving birth to her daughter. Pure strength.

Serena may never receive accolades without unnecessary drama or unsavory comments; but she is not allowing any of those things to stop her. That’s what makes her the goat. That’s what makes her the 2018 Woman of the Year.

While some may be offended over Serena receiving this honor among men. Assuming GQ perhaps is attempting to label her as being not “ladylike.” We see things differently.

In no way is Serena being labeled as a man. GQ clearly states that she is their Woman honoree. Plus, it shows respect for her accomplishments and that she sticks out, in a good way. She’s powerful, a winner and that is nothing for any man to fear. She’s tough enough to hang with the big boys, but she is still all woman!

Congratulations to Serena on this honor and as she continues to strive to get that record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam. And much respect to GQ for recognizing talent, not hate.

Michelle Obama ELLE December 2018 -The Oprah Interview

ArianneUpdated on November 12, 2018November 12, 2018

ELLE USA saved the best for last! The journal is wrapping up the year with an exclusive interview with one of the most iconic First Ladys to ever grace The White House. The Michelle Obama ELLE December 2018 edition features Michelle discussing everything; from her marriage, being vulnerable and the importance of optimism.

In order to tell Obama’s story to the masses, ELLE recruited the queen of talk, Oprah Winfrey; to handle interview duties. This issue comes right before Michelle’s new book release, Becoming. Winfrey has already placed Obama’s book in her coveted book club. If you would like to learn more you can check it out at amazon.com/oprahsbookclub.

Speaking of Becoming Oprah says, “From the very first pages of ‘Becoming’ I knew I wanted EVERYONE to read it. I loved it so much I’ve already read it twice. I’ve known Michelle for 14 years, but this book is so open and vulnerable; I felt like she was in my ear. Book clubs everywhere — you’ll want to make this your next selection.”

Michelle Obama ELLE December 2018 -The Oprah Interview

So what are Oprah and Obama chatting about within the pages of ELLE? The magazine reveals,

“Living in the White House for eight years; Michelle Obama had staffers providing everything she could have possibly needed, except for time. ‘What I came to realize is that there was absolutely no time to reflect in the White House,’ she tells Oprah for ELLE’s cover interview. ‘We moved at such a breakneck pace from the moment we walked in those doors until the moment we left. It was day in and day out because we, Barack and I; really felt like we had an obligation to get a lot done.’

Now, with time to process two terms in office — a historic run of accomplishments and struggles — Obama has released her highly anticipated memoir, ‘Becoming.’ Ahead of her book release, the former FLOTUS gets real about her marriage to Barack; the threats made against her children; and life after the White House.”
