We’re all used to mommy Williams breaking and holding records. However, now her daughter is already quickly following suit, at three months no less! Serena Williams covers the February 2018 edition of Vogue magazine along with her adorable bundle of joy; thus, marking another moment in Black Girl Magic Her-story. Serena William’s Daughter Olympia Ohanian Youngest Vogue Cover Star Ever!

Daughter Olympia Ohanian Youngest Vogue Cover Star Ever

Can we get a round of applause and three snaps in a “Z” formation for this momentous event? Serena is also just as excited over her new mag cover. Recently, she revealed two reasons why it feels so special. She says,

“When I first saw this Vogue magazine cover it brought tears to my eyes. Although [all] covers are special, but to share this one with my beautiful daughter, Olympia Ohanian also the youngest Vogue cover star, makes it a moment I will never forget. The article is a must read.

The best thing about my Vogue magazine cover was the one before it. The January issue with the beautiful Lupita Nyong’o; two amazing black women back to back is always exciting. Excellence!”

Great reasons coming from a great athlete! Speaking of greatness, want know just how iconic Serena Williams is in the history of tennis and sports? Here’s just a couple stats. At just 17, she won her first Grand Slam title. Moreover, she now holds 23 Grand Slam titles and is looking forward to breaking and setting the record for most titles which would be 25. Moreover, she holds 6 Longest winning streaks, 5 WTA Tour career earnings and oh yeah, four Olympic gold medals.

Nevertheless, even with that much accomplishment Williams is one of the most humble people you will come across. What keeps her so grounded? For Vogue Serena reveals,

“Women. They are so prominent, strong and vital to my life. My mom raised five women (one passed) and three grandchildren. I love this photo because we have a close bond.

This is what keeps me humble. They are not afraid to tell me anything, after all, I’m the youngest of five. I’m so happy Olympia has my mom as her grandma. Of course, she has Alexis’ stepmom as well, and I’m happy she has aunts like my sisters: Venus, Isha, Lyn and Alexis’sisters Amy and Hayley.

All women! Coincidence? I think not. She will fit right in.”

So then, there you have it. Family with a mix of humility can help anyone move up the success ladder. Nevertheless, there is one tiny person we have not heard from in regards to their Vogue accomplishment. Cutie pie Olympia Ohanian also shared her thoughts on her own Instagram account that already boasts over 200,000 followers. Olympia mentions,

“Check me out on my first Vogue cover. Well my mommy too, my daddy is in the article as well as my grandma and some of my aunties! Mom says to read the article. I can’t wait for my next one maybe one day. My mom and dad always tell me to dream big. But for now I am told I’m the youngest Vogue cover star ever at three months! Love you guys.”

Ugh… beyond cute! Get the full scoop on the Ohanian family in the February 2018 issue of Vogue. Reserve a copy for yourself right now on Amazon and Vogue.com.

Arianne Suggs January 15, 2018January 15, 2018Leave a Comment

Hold the presses! We actually have a say in this one y’all! Remy Ma just dropped three options of cover art for her upcoming single with the one and only Chris “Breezy” Brown! The best part? The Remy Ma Melanin Magic Cover Art is being decided entirely by the fans. Power to the hip hop people!

Remy Ma Melanin Magic Cover Art! The Single Featuring Chris Brown

So you how can you be down with this selection? Just go on Instagram and let your voice and opinion be heard. The three photos all convey different vibes of melanin magic; with the last two picks having more of strong emphasis on fashion.

Our favorite cover art pick for Remy Ma? Hands down it is the first look. Remy is front and center adorned in a gorgeous pearl makeup design. The art gets even more popping as your eyes extend outward taking in the surrounding melanin beauties. The overall finish is truly the essence of melanin magic… beautiful, stunning, often copied yet never as good as the original.

Nevertheless, which one are fans currently leaning towards? Here are a few of their thoughts:

“First pic definitely.”

“#1.”

“Love the first one!!!!”

“The first one even though all of them are bomb af.”

“First one a winner.”

“The 1st or 2nd.”

“Two ALL DAY.”

“First!”

“Yess the first one got you giving face hunty.”

“First or LAST ONE QUEEENNN.”

Got a thought? Don’t forget to go shoot your shot and cast your vote on the Remy Ma Melanin Magic Cover Art. The Melanin Magic single featuring Chris Brown drops this Friday (January 19th.)

Fashionable Mention: Dsquared Fall 2018 Cowboy Boot Sandal from Milan Fashion Week

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 15, 2018January 15, 2018Leave a Comment

We just want to have a fashion sandwich with Dan and Dean Caten! These chic masterminds behind the Dsquared brand have once again showcased stylish ingenuity. How so? Well, for Milan Fashion Week the duo hit the crowd with the Dsquared Fall 2018 Cowboy Boot Sandal. All we can say is, “Yippie-Ky-Ay!”

Fashionable Mention: Dsquared Fall 2018 Cowboy Boot Sandal From Milan Fashion Week

Let’s keep it 99 plus 1… These are not your average sandal heels! For their Dsquared Fall 2018 collection the label marries together the vintage old west with modern flair. Their Cowboy Boot Sandal at first glance resembles a normal cowboy boot with leather, rhinestones, cow hide patterns and other studded detailing. However, the real fun begins with the sandal cut-outs, straps as well as sharp, thin high heel. Bomb.

Therefore, how can one pair these shoes with garments currently in their closet? You might be surprised, but it honestly would not be hard at all. These sandals will add fire to any Bohemian style dress or skirt. Also, boot cut denim as well as a black pleather/vegan pant will go seamlessly with this Dquared look.

Furthermore, we are always all for recycling a trend and making it feel fresh. For instance, last year denim suits (as spotted on Kelly Rowland) and jumpsuits (seen on Ciara and Teyana Taylor) heated up the fashion scene. Therefore, do not toss these ensembles out, just make them cool again. Update a denim suit or jumpsuit that you have in a cinch with a pair of these bad boy sandals. By incorporating something new, instantly your clothing with take on a more current impression.

Arianne Suggs January 10, 2018January 10, 2018Leave a Comment

It is an ad campaign showcasing what superstar, high-end models do best… strut their stuff! The spanking new Moschino Spring Summer 2018 Ad Campaign stars the legendary wait for it; Naomi Campbell, alongside ebony beauties, Aube Jolicoeur, Yasmin Wijnaldum as well as Elite model agency’s Adut Akench Bior. The ageless Campbell who’s career spans a historic three decades is often heralded as the queen of the catwalk; thus making her addition to the 2018 campaign visuals an iconic fit.

Beautiful Black Women: Moschino Spring Summer 2018 Ad Campaign Starring Naomi Campbell

The ad’s setting is a nice departure from what many may feel the vibe of a Spring/Summer campaign should typically entail. Think bright, airy, floral and flair. However, Moschino’s designer, Jeremy Scott takes fashion lovers on a different yet harmonious stylish ride!

The campaign’s backdrop is a couture fashion show similar to what one would see during New York, Paris, Milan or London Fashion Week. Naomi, Aube, Adut and Yasmin are pictured walking the runway one by one as photographers clamor for the coveted shot. When speaking of the ad campaign Jeremy Scott simply stated, “We’re not going to be shady, just fierce.” Words to live by Jeremy, words to live by.

So then, who was apart of the all star team that brought the Moschino Spring Summer 2018 Ad Campaign to life? The ad was captured by fashion royalty photographer, Steven Meisel. Hair and makeup duties were performed by Guido Palau as well as Pat McGrath. Furthermore, fashion styling was handled by Carlyne Cerf De Dudzeele.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 9, 2018January 9, 2018Leave a Comment

Barely more than a week into the new year and we already have our first Harry and Meghan sighting! For the duo’s first royal appearance of 2018 Meghan stunned onlookers in the Smythe Camel Brando Coat. The couple were seen on their way to Reprezent radio station in London’s Brixton district. The station is completely staffed by young people out of a community led complex made from old shipping containers.

Fashionable Mention: Meghan Markle Wearing Smythe Camel Brando Coat

Nevertheless, this is not the first time the future royal as adorned herself in this high-end brand. On another occasion, the actress was spotted wearing the label’s Smythe x Augden Ruffle Knit Sweater. Therefore, it is safe to say that for Meghan Smythe is an obvious fashion favorite.

However, Markle is not the only fan of chic Smythe designs. Several other celebrity style mavens such as Oscar winner, Halle Berry, have also hit the street in Smythe couture. For instance, Berry kept warm in a stylish leopard lab coat from the Smythe Spring/Summer 2017 collection.

But wait there’s more! In other Meghan Markle news, if you were looking to enjoy more Markle postings via social media; then, you’re in for a bit of bad news. The wife-to-be has made the decision to delete her Instagram as well as Twitter accounts.

Did all the royal attention prove to be too much? Or is this a requirement being placed on her? Meghan assures fans that this move of deletion is all her choice alone, no one else’s. Furthermore, she is deleting the accounts simply because they have not been used in a very long time.
