There were only six top looks of the night for the 2017 VMAs? In our very humble opinion… yes. The carpet was a bit of a bore and many of the fashions seen just did not grab us.
Now of course, this could of been because many of music’s heavy hitters were no where to be found. For instance, Look left and Beyonce, Blue, the Twins as well as Jay Z are clearly MIA. Look right and Rihanna is a no show. Heck, even a Kanye 80 minute speech became less likely to be seen than a leprechaun at the end of a rainbow.
Nevertheless, six celebs did fashionably bring it and we salute their couture essence. Who made our list? Might just be a few of your favorites too!

Are you a huge Nicki Minaj fan? Well, today your queen shall be gracing your television. Catch Nicki Minaj on The Ellen Show today to see her in all of her fabulousness and holding a giant butt check (we will explain that). Nevertheless, if you can’t get to a TV in time we have a quick recap of what is all going down. Here’s our warning now, especially all of you on the west coast: expect spoilers!
Nicki Minaj on The Ellen Show and She’s Paying More Tuitions!
Okay, so remember when Nicki was on Twitter paying tuitions? A very kind gesture that helped out a ton of hard-working students. Well it looks like Nicki is still inspired by her previous act of paying it forward.
On The Ellen Show Nicki Minaj continued sharing her generosity. Ellen via social media talked all about this stating,
“Did you see The Ellen Show today? So grateful for the donation she made via Shutterfly for more kids to go to college! 25 thousand dollars! Love her!
Nicki told me she wants to start a foundation to help pay for kids’ tuition. I can get behind that.”
Isn’t all of this great ladies?! 2017 is proving to be the year of helping young people build confidence and succeed. From black women like Octavia Spencer buying out theaters so that youths and individuals in black communities could take in the inspiring story of Hidden Figures. To Beyonce starting a scholarship program. Stars are giving back today in order to help shape a better tomorrow. Thank you Nicki for your kindness and we hope to see this trend continue in the future!
Fashion Notes: Minaj is always looking like a high-end designer’s muse. Today she rocked a corset as well as jacket by Alexander McQueen. Vintage skirt by Jean Paul Gaultier and some bad muh- (shut yo mouth!) heels by Tom Ford.

What beef? Nicki Minaj dropped new music, won a fashion award and is showcasing her fierce sense of style. We always love Nicki’s risk-taker diva looks and one recent ensemble is beyond fire! Have you seen Minaj’s gladiator high heels from the Philipp Plein 2017 Summer collection? We just want to snatch them off like a wig and toss them into our closets ASAP.
Gladiator High Heels : Nicki Minaj Killing it in Philipp Plein SS17 Collection
Oh yeah, did we mention Nicki is also officially a model too now? Therefore, it all totally makes sense as to why Minaj is so beloved by major designers like Philipp Plein. Furthermore, on the heels (no pun intended) of picking up Daily Front Row’s Fashion Rebel Award, Nicki rocks an outfit that shows why she is worthy of such honor.
Minaj worked it like rent is due in a gown by Charbel Zoe with hand piece accessories by Alexander McQueen. Moreover, she incorporated an elegant pair of NSR Earrings by Nina Runsdord. Every piece harmonized amazingly with her high-end heels. Nicki looked like a glamorous warrior princess ready to takeover fashion and expand her dominion.
Nicki was certainly feeling herself and her fab look. She hit up social posting pics and stating, “Another day, and another slay… I usually [hate] the paparazzi, but whoever took this one may have just changed all that.” Hilarious and girl that paparazzi caught a fashion moment that will go down in slay history. Nevertheless, what are your fashionable thoughts? Are you feeling the Philipp Plein Gladiator High Heels?

2016 is winding down so it is always fun to look back and see what trends held us all captivated. A color that never quite seems to go out of style for us ladies is the ever classic pink. From pink hair to shoes we literally saw it all this year. So let’s take a quick stroll down fashion memory lane. Here are the 10 Best Pink Clothing Moments of 2016!
10 Best Pink Clothing Moments of 2016
What girly-girl does not like pink? During 2016 several starlets let their soft side show in full force. We spotted supermodels, actresses and songstresses getting their pink clothing game on. Without further ado here they are:
Keke Palmer
Forget blondes, girls who wear pink have more fun! Moreover, the best part of this look is that Palmer styled it all on her own. She completed her pink clothing look utilizing 2 additional trends: choker and fur.
Beyonce
We are used to seeing the Queen killing it on her own but when she includes her daughter they become one unstoppable, dynamic duo. Pink shoes and pink embellished jacket, these dolls just get it. So then, as Blue Ivy’s jacket says they know how to slay.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj truly is a pink Barbie. Nicki is no stranger to the fun shade and has worn it for years. Furthermore, this year she kept it chic with a pink fur jacket and matching Chanel handbag.
Rihanna
The style icon completely took over Paris Fashion Week in a pink design of her own (Puma x Rihanna). Now that is something not everyone can say. Also, the Badgal got her pink on for her Vanguard Award performance at the MTV VMAs. Therefore, we want to be RiRi when we grow up.
Zendaya Coleman
Besides nabbing a huge role in Spiderman zendaya started her own clothing brand too! Her collection includes pink clothing plus other chic choices. However, one other pink outfit of note was her pink red carpet look by Christian Siriano.
10 Best Pink Clothing Moments of 2016 – Halfway There!
Jasmine Tookes
Congrats to Jasmine for wearing the Vicky fantasy bra this year! However, we love all her many Victoria’s Secret looks but one pink gem reigns supreme. Her pink number from the VS winter commercial is total princess level.
Jourdan Dunn
We love a good Cinderella moment as much as the next hopeless romantic. Dunn definitely experienced one when she attended the Tony Awards with Zac Posen in one of his timeless pink designs.
Skai Jackson
Skai Jackson stole hearts this year for being freaking adorable and one of our favorite memes. Nevertheless, her pink Gucci suit for the Kids Choice Awards was also an attention grabber. Another cute moment of that same night was a photo moment shared between her and Ellen. AW!
La La Anthony
She’s sexy and she knows it! Two looks instantly come to mind. First, La La’s pink, fuzzy GIRLS tank top. We wanted that top the moment we laid eyes on it. Later on in the year Anthony shut it down in a pink bodycon dress from Hot Miami Styles.
Naomi Campbell
When you are named supermodel of the century you are making every fashion list from now until eternity! With that said, Campbell donned vintage pink John Galiano for her Taschen book release tour and pink hair/makeup for February Vogue cover.

Celebrities are known to set the trends from beauty to fashion. What colors are they working with this season? From subtle highlights to boisterous tints they have showcased shades that fit just about every personality. Here are The Best Celebrity Winter Hair Colors to Try Now!
The Best Celebrity Winter Hair Colors to Try Now
Chocolate Browns
As Seen on: Joan Smalls and Jasmine Tookes (1st photo)
If you enjoy low maintenance then aim for a Chocolate ombre hair look. Dye jobs fade anyway and this particular look will ebb away gracefully. Plus, chocolate brown is universally flattering on everyone because its not too dark or too light.
Raven Blue
As Seen on: Nicki Minaj
This color is perfect for the cold, winter months. Its moody as well as mysterious yet reads as sleek and extravagant. If you want a no frills, sultry hair color this is the way to go.
Golden Blonde
As Seen On: Blac Chyna
Do blondes have more fun? By the looks of future Mrs. Rob Kardashian we would definitely say so! Winter hair colors do not need to be drab to look amazing. Golden or caramel blonde works well on lighter skin tones. Medium brown to dark skin tones can achieve amazing results with golden/caramel highlights.
The Best Celebrity Winter Hair Colors – For the Bold
Deep Purple
As Seen On: Justine Skye
They don’t call her the Purple Unicorn for nothing. Justine Skye’s signature plum tresses fall nicely right between allurement and calmness. Moreover, purple is the balance of red and blue and denotes royalty. Personality types drawn to this color are usually eccentric, creative and peaceful.
Stark White
As Seen On: Instagram Sensation Bee aka Melvnin
Nothing says winter like white snow so why not white dyed hair? Stark white used to be reserved for comic book and GOT characters. Not anymore, this trend was born out of the gray/platinum craze and looks to have serious staying power.
Blonde Highlights
As Seen On: Ciara and Zendaya
If going full on blonde is not your cup of tea then adding a few well-placed highlights could be the answer. Zendaya and Ciara’s soft highlights are chic and sophisticated. This is how to do color on a very subtle basis.
Winter Hair Colors – Super Sick Shades
Vibrant Red
As Seen On: India Westbrooks
When your career is getting as hot as India’s your hair color should match it! Westbrooks has returned to bold red locks and the result is purely fabulous. Red suits India’s sassy persona as well so if that describes you too consider a rouge tint.
Pastel Pink
As Seen On: Lil’ Mama
This type a color is for the girl that just wants to have fun and party with other fellow unicorns. Roots are kept dark to add contrast as well as depth.
Platinum
As Seen on: Malaysia Pargo
Out of all winter hair colors this one is for the brave. If you enjoy standing out in a crowd platinum is your shade. Leave roots opaque for an even more dramatic effect.
Electric Blue
As Seen On: Monica Brown
Show off your confidence this winter by infusing your strands with strong color only in the front. The differentiation reads business in the back and entertainment in the front. Besides confidence the color blue represents loyalty, wisdom, trust and imagination.
