Hair of the Week: Chanel Iman at W Mag “It Girl” Luncheon

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 29, 2016January 13, 2016Leave a Comment

Supermodel Chanel Iman attended W Mag’s “It Girl” Luncheon this week and she certainly looked the part! Iman dazzled in a two-piece Jamie Lee white pearl and lace off the shoulder ensemble. She accessorized her sultry little number with Jewelmer Joaillerie Pearl earrings from the Charleston collection. However, it was more than just her ethereal attire that caught our eye.

To compliment her stylish couture Chanel Iman wore her strands as a true crown of glory. The genius behind Chanel Iman’s gorgeous mane, Peter Anthony Perez, revealed that the hairstyle included a “texture crown braid.” This elegant hair look works great day or night and is a perfect transitional style for the upcoming spring season.

Keep this style from looking stiff by allowing baby strands as well as wisps of hair to flow freely. We love this hairstyle because it is example of effortless glamour that does not overpower the fashion. They simply compliment each other, just as they should.

Kevin Hart Debuts Nike “Hustle Hart” On Jimmy Fallon

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 29, 2016January 13, 2016Leave a Comment

As much as we enjoy Jimmy Fallon performing with The Roots using musical toy instruments; last night’s Kevin Hart fashion moment was pretty cool as well. Hart showed off his kicks which are part of a collaboration with Nike due to be released later this year. At this point of time an exact date of the sneaker release is yet to be determined. Nevertheless, shoe industry experts are pinning a date for the collection for this coming April.

With the release Hart would become the very first actor/comedian/entertainer to ink a deal with Nike. What name has Kevin chosen to give to his shoes? Hart can definitely say that he ‘started from the bottom’ and hustled his way to stardom. Therefore, Kevin Hart’s trainers have been fittingly named, “Hustle Hart.” So far two colors have been showcased for the Nike Hustle Hart, red and blue.

For a project such as this consumer reaction as well as opinion is key. We took to the gram to get an early indication of what potential buyers may be currently thinking. Here are a few comments we gathered:

“Copping those.”

“Lol we need those.”

“They really aren’t that bad.”

“This gotta be Nike’s response to Ye.”

“These are dope.”

So far it looks like Nike and Kevin are on their way to a really big pay day. Congrats to Kevin Hart we wish you much fashion success and hope that this collaboration inspires others to Hustle Hart… oops we mean hard.

The stars definitely took over Los Angeles, California Tuesday night! As the Marie Claire Image Awards got underway in Beverly Hills, other celebrities made their way to The Biennial UNICEF Ball presented by Louis Vuitton. Invitees included Mariah Carey, David Beckham, Heidi Klum and Selena Gomez.

Louis Vuitton and UNICEF have joined forces in order to spread awareness as well as help children that are in urgent need. Mariah Carey and other celebrities in attendance for the gala were invited to make a promise to join the cause. Carey and friends symbolized their promise to help children in need by being photographed performing a pinky promise.

Speaking of performance Mariah Carey also brought the house down performing her hits such as “We Belong Together.” Carey did it all in style as she turned heads in a plunging V-cut floor-length gown with leather and crystal detailing. A beautiful dress for a beautiful woman who honestly looked like she has stopped aging over 20 years ago.

Nevertheless, want to be apart of the Louis Vuitton/UNICEF movement like Mariah? You can do so by making a donation or by investing in a Louis Vuitton Silver Lockit. You can then share your pledge via Instagram by posting a photo of yourself doing the ‘pinky promise.’ Full details are available here.

Michelle Obama in Narciso Rodriguez For State of the Union

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 29, 2016January 12, 2016Leave a Comment

If you ever need to know how to drop the mic when it comes to style all you have to do is channel your inner Flotus! Michelle Obama attended her husband’s final State of the Union Address in an elegant yet boisterous tinted gown by Narciso Rodriguez.

As soon as Michelle Obama made her debut the fashion conscious took to social media discussing the tint of Obama’s ensemble. Some thought apricot but the Sleeveless Banded-Bodice Midi Dress was actually in Marigold. Good guesses though everyone!

Besides looking amazing on televisions across the country, Michelle Obama also put to rest a long held notion that she is not “known for her fashion influence.” Yeah… just let that thought sink in a little.

Nevertheless, the naysayers, haters and cynics were all silenced when news promptly spread that Michelle’s choice of dress had sold completely out! If you had wanted to get your hands on one sorry to tell ya, but some pretty lucky ladies beat us to the checkout cart.

From the runway to the State of the Union, the sold out Narciso Rodriguez dress.

Beauty Notes: Strong brows, eyeliner and neutral lip color made for a subtle yet stunning makeup look.

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!
