Golden Globes 2016 Red Carpet Fashion Recap

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!

Hair of the Week: Karreuche Tran and Christina Milian Top knots

Arianne Suggs November 24, 2015November 24, 2015Leave a Comment

The friends that chignon together, stay best buds forever. Case in point this week at the 2015 American Music Awards Karreuche Tran and her gal pal Christina Milian hit the red carpet and it is clear that they both got the memo before show-time. Besides the pair both wearing sexy LBDs Karreuche and Christina hit the AMAs with matching top knots. Of course, each lady mixed hers up a tad bit in order to incorporate personal style.

Ninja Buns or top knots are a simple style that can be edgy and sophisticated at the same time. Christina opted to keep her hairstyle simple and sleek with a basic pull back, while Karreuche added a tad more drama with the aid of a fringed bang.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on October 4, 2015October 4, 2015Leave a Comment

Black Hollywood as well as other influential black entertainers came out to support the 2015 Triumph Awards which were hosted by funny lady, Tichina Arnold. The star-studded show aired just last night (October 3rd) with appearances by Tyrese Gibson, T.I., Soledad O’Brien, John Legend, and Wanda Sykes. The Triumph Awards were created in order to recognize the positive effect and impact individuals of color are having on the community. Among this year’s honorees were: Chief Diversity Officer and Global Director of Education and External Relations for Intel Rosalind Hudnell, Wanda Sykes, Tyrese Gibson, John Legend as well as civil rights leader Reverend Dr. Joseph Echols Lowery.

There were many reasons to feel proud last night after taking in such an empowering show. As the saying goes, ‘Teamwork makes the dream work,’ so working unitedly towards a positive end will accomplish the most good. Speaking of good, what other wonderful sights were able to be seen?

We could not help but take note of all the glam that went down including one trend in particular. It seemed that as if everyone got the same memo before the show…that black was the color to wear! Enjoy the red carpet fashion highlights and congratulations to all of this year’s impactful honorees.

Look of the Week: Naomie Harris Attends NSPCC Neo-Romantic Art Gala

Arianne Suggs July 3, 2015July 3, 2015Leave a Comment

How does a Bond girl choose to dress for a red carpet event? Well, Harris…Naomie Harris (yeah, you like what we did there) chooses to stay ahead of the fashionistas and wear fashions not from 2015 but 2016. Harris made jaws drop in a creation from Mugler Resort 2016 collection. The floor length bi-color macramé dress wasn’t without it’s allure. The gown possessed a high side split revealing Naomie’s super toned gams.

Harris wore the Mugler design this week when she attended the NSPCC Neo-Romantic Art Gala. The gala was held at the Masterpiece London on June 30, 2015 in London, England. Naomie kept accessories to minimum choosing to tote a clutch and strut in black ankle strap heels.

Nevertheless, it seems like Naomie is enjoying the fashions of 2016 because this isn’t the only time she has recently sported future couture. At the Walkabout Foundation Inaugural Gala Harris floated down the red carpet in a dress from the Tory Burch Resort 2016 collection.
