Confirmation Premiere Fashion Recap

Arianne Suggs April 1, 2016April 1, 2016Leave a Comment

From the first time it aired, ratings soared through the roof for Kerry Washington‘s hit television show Scandal. With so much weekly tea as well as twist and turns viewers could not seem to get enough of the racy show. Recently, Kerry has taken her talents and starred in yet another bewitching storyline for a biopic entitled, Confirmation. Confirmation is the real life story of Anita Hill, a woman who dared to give testimony regarding sexual harassment during the Senate confirmation/nomination hearings of Clarence Thomas. Last night, at the HBO Confirmation premiere several leading ladies of black Hollywood were in attendance.

Lets start with the lady of the hour, Kerry Washington. Washington stunned in a $4k floral frock by Dolce and Gabbana. Moreover, Washington took care of style business right down to the smallest of details. Her mani was in a gorge neutral shade. With such a bold ensemble it was nice to see a more muted nail look that would not compete in a negative way with the rest her look.

Next up, is the gorgeous Gabrielle Union! At the Confirmation premiere Gabby even got the chance to snap a quick photo with Washington on the red carpet. Union sprinkled her own dose of black girl magic with a dress by Marc Jacobs. We absolutely loved Gabrielle and Kerry’s updos for the evening. The face-framing pieces and flowing tendrils of strands gave their hair a very romantic feel.

Not last but very least, let’s talk Zendaya! What did Zendaya adorn herself with for the Confirmation premiere? Coleman slayed in a colorful garment made by designer Rani Zakhem. Her hair also had a romantic flair due to a deep middle part with cascading waves. Can you say perfection?

ALL IN THE DETAILS: Designer Rani Zakhem has dressed several over starlets you would know including songstress Kelly Rowland.

Style Ambassador: The Spring Jacket

Arianne Suggs March 30, 2016March 30, 2016Leave a Comment

The spring jacket should be a fashion staple found in any fashionista’s wardrobe. What exactly constitutes itself as being a spring jacket? It is couture outerwear that is chic, voguish and lighter than the typical winter coat or jacket. Due to temps heading more north this season it is stylishly advantageous to invest in a good jacket that will look great and take the slight spring chill off.

Our style ambassador, Carly, showed off more of her impeccable style taste. Carly paired a fab pair of white jeans with a printed spring jacket. By keeping her top and bottoms neutral, her bold, fun jacket steps right into the spotlight. Remember, whatever piece you want to emphasize needs to be complimented by pieces that will harmonize with your overall ensemble, not compete with it.

Beauty Notes: Carly is sporting a huge trend for spring, the rouge lip. Sassy meets classy!

Carly always looks great and full of confidence. How does she maintain such high esteem in her fashion as well as mindset. When asked, she told us,

“I would describe the art of being a woman as loving, caring, believing, trusting, [mixed with] hope, dignity, and faith. You’re stronger than any anxiety that you may be feeling. So never fear a thing!”

That is so very true! Ladies, with anything from fashion to self positivism, never be afraid to be you and do you. You are art, allow onlookers to see your unique beauty.

Lookbook: The Red Dress

Arianne Suggs April 14, 2015April 14, 2015Leave a Comment

Bright, bold colors are great to go along with spring’s festive and vibrant vibe. Birds are singing, flowers are blossoming which encourages styles that are airy and relaxed. However, whenever I want to punch things up a bit I stay in the realm of bold shades and opt for red. Red is sassy and fun and looks great on a wide range of skin tones.

I paired my red dress with gold accessories, including a bracelet and snake head heels. Since the color is boisterous tons of accessories are not really necessary. So then, have fun with your fashion and don’t be afraid to add some vibrancy to your look.

Love Always,

Arianne

DKNY: Spring 2015 RTW

Arianne Suggs March 18, 2015March 18, 2015Leave a Comment

DKNY showed off just how fun fashion can be with their runway show highlighting their spring 2015 RTW collection. Boisterous shades, extra large prints and some serious layering added to the chic allure. We loved this out of the box ensemble that proves that layering can look hip, current and very modern.

Fashion Notes: There is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing sneakers with a dress of skirt. Fashion doesn’t always have to be so dressy, keep your look causal with flats or athletic kicks.
