More history is being made! Lais Ribeiro Covers Marie Claire Brazil June 2018 issue; and becomes the first black top model to do so! The journal is very excited over their new work. So much that they have immediately hit up social media to discuss it. The magazine writes,
“Mandatory reading of this [season]: the interview with the top model, Lais Ribeiro for Marie Claire June 2018. Which tells the trajectory of the first Brazilian Black model to enter the pantheon of angels. The most powerful cover of all the newsstands this month in the most revealing interview.”
Beautiful Black Women: Lais Ribeiro Covers Marie Claire Brazil June 2018
So what all is Lais talking about in this edition? She bares everything. From her early beginnings to having to fight for her spot in the fashion and beauty industries as a top model. Marie Claire Brazil EIC (Editor in Chief) explains further stating,
“Our beautiful cover [for] June with Lais Ribeiro, rehearsal and interview [conducted] in NYC (New York City) by two editors, Larissa Lucchese and Camila Lima. For us, Lais shows a powerful woman, a woman poor since childhood in Piaui; faced an early maternity, [also] harassment of famous photographer; racism and child autism. She tells all of this exclusively in this edition. To the newsstands!
[Thanks] of course, to Lais, our first black top model, which shows that fighting against racism and harassment does not imply loss of professional space; indeed, on the contrary. Very happy to have noticed the fact I never had it on our cover before.”

Moreover, do not worry if your girls are bigger than the average supermodel. Rihanna wanted to make her collection available to girls with girls of all sizes and cups. Her range can go all the way up to 44DD. However, it is rumored that more is still in the works as well in the way of size AND sexy fun. Handcuffs are already available… OW!

Savage x Fenty Lingerie: Launch Party
Talk about standing room only. The Savage x Fenty Lingerie launch party was filled to compacity. Literally, every which way you turned someone was there.
Paparazzi eagerly snapped away from the moment of the lady of the hour’s arrival. Every half second a, “Rihanna over here,” could be heard echoing along the line of cameras and smartphones.
There was much to see. From racks carrying the long-awaited collection. To also large billboards or graphic walls if you will; touting the company name and messages.
However, one of the biggest attractions of the night had to be the special effects feature. Leave it to Rihanna to launch a product in a way that is not only memorable, but futuristic.
While many choose to use actual models in order to showcase their merchandise. Rihanna went in the complete opposite direction. She used herself, multiplied.
Yes, via tech, Rihanna appeared before the party in the form of a hologram. The holographic Rihanna strutted across as well as up and down the stage in a mesmerizing, divine fashion.
Savage x Fenty Lingerie: Launch Party (Continued)
Rih’s close friends were of course in attendance. Along with a slew of gorgeous models. However, it really came as no surprise. When you roll with the gorgeous Rihanna; you expect her squad to be “on the level.”
As industry and fans collided in order to celebrate Rihanna’s latest venture. Everyone’s RihMotions were clearly on edge. Being just hours away from the official launch; all invitees just wanted to see more and more of the final collection.
Robyn did not disappoint. In time she floated over to racks of her intimate apparel and in order to showcase items to the cameras. With so much buzz in the air it was clear… the Badgal had done it again!
Savage x Fenty Lingerie: Getting the Goods
In case you were wondering… yes, this collection too is going to sale out. If you attempted to log on to the www.savagex.com site in order to get your shopping on; you may have been met with a little informative screen.
The “line” getting into the online store is a beast in itself. Rihanna is no stranger to selling out of her products, and fast, so that this time she is doing her best to keep things orderly.
When Fenty Beauty dropped the website literally crashed. Like TKO. Therefore, this time consumers can get to the website, but can not begin to shop until space is made within the store.
If there is absolutely no space or room, purchasers are added to an queue. An ingenious method to keep the site from crashing and burning.
SavagexFenty Lingerie: Getting the Goods (Continued)
Another aspect of this queue that we like is the efficiency. Of course, you will receive an estimated wait time. However, you also do not need to wait around. You can close the window and your spot will be held for you.
For kicks and giggles we decided to test it out. Of course, fear initially gripped our bodies. Would our spot in line really be held for us? If there’s a glitch will we be booted to the bottom of the list?
Well, we had no reason to be afraid, because after closing out the window and returning; our spot in line was still there. WHEW! Also, a new window explaining that it was almost our turn to enter the store and if we wanted to leave the line we could.
Unfortunately, as much as we liked this process; it did not stop the site from running slow (most likely due to demand). Also, we were kicked out the store a couple times. Nevertheless, we like how things are being run thus far and look forward to FINALLY getting more sexy, savage-esqe gear.

Beauty Tip-Save yourself some muhla and trim your bangs yourself.
After you wash and blow dry your hair, flat iron your hair till smooth. Gather bangs and twist hair several times, but not too tightly otherwise you may trim tresses too short. Next, depending on how long you want your bangs, trim hair either above or below your fingers holding the twist. Remember it is best to start longer, because you can always re-twist and re-cut in order to make bangs shorter.
All we can say is, “WOW!” The entire Cushnie et Ochs Fall 2018 runway show was a tantalizing affair; however, the closing look stole the attention of everyone in attendance. The vibe, the details, the unspoken allure. Every element just works and brings a certain je ne sais quoi to a collection that is already flawless.
Fashionable Mention: Cushnie et Ochs Faceted Crystal Mesh Gown
Hereith Paul, you are a lucky girl! Paul is the gorgeous model that had the honor and pleasure, of wearing the final closing Cushnie et Ochs look. The dress is a showstopper… Glitzy, spell-binding and more gleam than the night sky on a clear night.
Photographs of this garment did not even come close to doing it justice. The gown gets its bling appeal thanks to a little help from Swarowski. This dress in particular incorporates dazzling, strategically placed Swarowski Drop Crystals.
The crystalized look is currently a favorite among designers for the fall 2018 season. We spotted the trend at not just Cushnie et Ochs, but during a number of other fall runway shows. We noted Swarowski elements and jewelry were utilized during collections for: Alexander Wang, Brandon Maxwell, Jason Wu and Rosie Assoulin.
Nevertheless, we foresee the Cushnie et Ochs Faceted Crystal Mesh Gown being a red carpet favorite. Immediately, upon seeing it all 1966 staff felt that this is a design that Queen Beyonce would absolutely dominate in at any event. We are reminded of her sheer, embellished gown that she wore to the 2015 Met Ball (see below). This is so her style and one that would land any starlet with an amazing pair of legs on the Best Dressed List. All eyes on you RiRi!
