Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 5, 2016January 11, 2016Leave a Comment

Last night the Golden Globes was chalk full of wonderful surprises from the red carpet to the star-studded after parties. We have to tip our Louboutins to the fabulous Taraji P. Henson who took home some much earned hardware for her performance as Cookie on Fox network’s hit show Empire. Henson won for Best Actress in a Television Drama yet before her name was even called out she had already won us over in the style department!

Taraji P. Henson along with the rest of Tinseltown’s hottest starlets put it down upon arriving in Beverly Hills for all the festivities. Numerous fashion trends were spotted including bold tints, sequins, cut-outs, capes and metallics. Length also played a key role in the fashion drama as most ladies chose to adorn themselves in floor-length gowns.

Let us not forget accessories because thou-eth would be a sin and no ensemble is truly complete without them. Many actresses opted for a clutch in order to tote their valuables and bling was absolutely everywhere. Diamonds and Swarovski found its way on our favorite stars in the form of earrings, rings, bracelets, heels and handbags. Lovely Gabrielle Union even wore a jewel encrusted headband with her monochromatic design.

Well, ladies that is enough talk because seeing is believing. Keep scrolling to see what Hollywood’s leading ladies were rocking last night!

Naomi Campbell For Balmain SS16

Arianne Suggs January 8, 2016January 8, 2016Leave a Comment

Many of us are too young to remember the reign of the 80’s supermodels, but a quick google search will clearly show why they were so special. They were gorgeous, talented and did not get out of bed if the money wasn’t right. From magazine covers to editorials, from campaigns to music videos as well as commercials they were like Visa, everywhere you want to be. The 80’s were about extragance and these ladies were the epitome and could do no wrong.

For this reason, we were beside ourselves when we got our first look at the Balmain Paris Spring/Summer 2016 Ad Campaign. Three supermodels that can still slay women half their age had been casted to show off Balmain’s exquisite designs! Proving that age is really just a number Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer brought the heat to spring’s hottest fashions.

The campaign was lensed by Steven Klein with Pascal Dangin as art director. Oliver Rousteing has been teasing fashion fans for a few days now asking were they ready for 2016. Whether they were ready for it or not Oliver put the hammer down and dropped the proverbial fashion mic. With an one-two punch Rousteing seamlessly introduced the fashion world to as he described via Instagram, “iconic history” that involved a true “dream team.” We couldn’t agree more with his sentiments and are thrilled as well as in awe as to what has been created.

As diversity in the fashion world continues to be spread why not toss in the age factor as well? Women do not stop being fashionable entities after the age of 25 even if they are considered veterans in the modeling industry at such a tender age. Therefore, let’s continue to celebrate beauty in all of its numerous forms regardless of color or numerical identification.

Angela Simmons Black SuperTrash Jumpsuit For Growing Up Hip Hop Tour

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 5, 2016January 4, 2016Leave a Comment

Angela Simmons was spotted looking quite spiffy in all black ensemble. While Simmons’ father travels the world it looks like Angela will be busy with a little project of her own. The reason Angela was all dolled up was in order to promote GUHH aka Growing Up Hip Hop that follows a cast of hip hop royalty offspring as they work towards being known outside of just having über famous parents. An issue that even “normal” kids can relate to when it comes to filling mom and dad’s shoes.

The cast includes of course Miss Simmons, Kristinia DeBarge, Damon “Boogie” Dash as well as Romeo Miller to name a few. The dynamic docu-series will air beginning on Thursday, January 14 on WEtv and you are not going to want to miss it!

Now lets quickly get back to that black attire that Angela looked absolutely fantastic in for the promo tour. The black jumpsuit worn by the starlet is by SuperTrash with the accompanying jacket being a design of Foofi and Bella. Angela’s hair and makeup were also very on point thanks to Nikk Rokk (hair) and Mimi Johnson (makeup).

Hair Notes: Long, dramatic flowing waves are a great style to add flair to a rather chic yet subtle outfit.

Congolese Cultural Creations

**Formal fashion gown by Kapy Bash Mode collection.**

Contributing cultural fashions to New York Fashion Week is always welcomed in a city of cultural diversity. During market week in September, African elegance arrived at New York’s Plaza Hotel. The Kapy Bash Mode collection debuted in a collective showcase of international presenters to an audience of style enthusiast, fashion influencers and media makers. Kapy Bash Mode offers African ethnic gowns that are inspired by cultures from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Kapy Bash Mode uses liputa, ankara, french lace, bazin, satin and linen fabrics. There is a soon to debut resort line of acrylic swimwear fashions and ankara boxer shorts for men. The creator, Kapinga Bashala has been designing for the Kapy Bash Mode brand for twenty-six years. She has designed custom gowns for television personalities, government dignitaries, pageants and bridal parties.

“There are many negative misconceptions about African cultures and lifestyle. Contemporary African fashion are demystifying the negative stereotypes. With each ethnic gown I create, I share an experience of Congolese’s cultural decadence with the world.” explains Kapinga.

With her busy schedule, Kapinga still finds time to be philanthropic by helping to fund educational programs for underprivileged children in the Dem. Rep. of Congo. Kapinga also helps misfortunate Congolese women develop fundamental skills for starting a small business. A percentage of KBM’s online proceeds goes to fund the charity ‘Kapy Bash for Mothers and Children’. Sharing culture through fashions not only helps others experience unique heritage, it helps preserve heritage through collective economics. Now that is a sustainable trend that is always in style.

Arianne Suggs December 7, 2015December 7, 2015Leave a Comment

To instantly see celebrities’ fiery ensembles just take a quick trip down the digital catwalk better known as Instagram. We spied out this little black dress number adorned by the beautiful Taraji P. Henson for White Hot Holidays. White Hot Holidays is a FOX network special that will air this Wednesday at 9/8c. The televised event is hosted by Empire superstars Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard.

Rehearsals for WHH are underway and Henson’s head-to-toe look truly burned it up style wise. In a photo originally posted by James Bolden, Henson poses in a LBD showing off her gams and hints of her insane physique. She completes the look with pointed toe heels and red hot nail color. Holden captioned the chic pic, “Something Short to Start The Night Off!!! #WhiteHotHoliday @tarajiphenson #jsnbldnstyleteam.” If that was the goal then it was definitely achieved!

Pantone’s 2016 Colors Of The Year

Arianne Suggs December 5, 2015December 5, 2015Leave a Comment

No ladies, your eyes did not fail you as you perused the title of this post. History has been made when it comes to next year’s selection of shades to envy and place on trend. As any beauty maven or fashionista knows normally one shade is chosen but next year two shall reign supreme.

Therefore, what are the two tints that we need to go out and grab? Pantone has selected Serenity which is a pretty, ethereal light blue as well as Rose Quartz which is a delicate light pink. We foresee both colors being a major hit during spring when fresh color is often much appreciated and considered en vogue.

Here is a closer look at the two shades courtesy of Pantone:

The color of palette of the two tints are extremely complimentary of each other. Nevertheless, here is why the pair of colors were chosen out of the entire spectrum:

Although not outrageously bold both colors can still take a style up a few notches. These colors work for day or night and can be versatile for dressing up or down. With such ease ensembles for 2016 will be a cinch.
