No one likes a good preview more than us. As a result, we went start to the source in order to find out what exactly is in this upcoming magazine edition. Regarding Zendaya’s cover, editorial beauty and story; the magazine says,

“Zendaya puts the Z in Gen Z; and she’s just begun to take flight. Introducing our Out of Office issue starring Zendaya! Her style is on point. Her humor is subtle. And in Euphoria she can break your heart with a look.

[For our December/January issue] Zendaya took us to all new heights with these looks. Creating Zendaya’s 70’s-inspired hair, makeup; and wardrobe for her Allure cover shot was a team effort from her long-time glam squad.

Makeup artist Sheika Daley created a custom blue wash of color on her lids and hairstylist Larry Sims sculpted the edgy; sky-high hair to complement the bold look.

[Furthermore, in her story you’ll learn] ‘You can’t do it all’ is one of Zendaya’s least favorite sayings. [She says] ‘It makes me mad. I don’t like the idea that you have to box yourself in or stay in one lane. Why wouldn’t I want to try to make the most of my talents and my gifts while I can?'”

We agree Zendaya! If you believe it, you can achieve it. Don’t ever short change yourself! Check out the rest of Zendaya’s cover story at Allure.com.

Disney Live Action Little Mermaid Casts Halle Bailey as Ariel!

Disney Live Action Little Mermaid

BREAKING DISNEY MOVIE NEWS: Disney Live Action Little Mermaid Casts Halle Bailey as Ariel! This is not a test. This is a full blown announcement that Halle is about to be King Triton’s daughter!

Disney Live Action Little Mermaid Casts Halle Bailey as Ariel

Say WHAT??! Yes, hold onto your fins everyone! Disney is reporting that after numerous rumors they have officially selected Miss Bailey for the role. For quite a bit Disney fans’ whispering spread that Zendaya might be up for the Disney character princess. With the Marvel Far From Home actress also choosing to rock gorgeous locks of red hair lately; it only added to the rumor mill.

However, today all of that changed. Bailey took to social media platform, Twitter, in order to share the BIG Hollywood news. In a simple tweet the cat was let out of the bag with the words: “Dream Come True.” Along with a pic of the famous Ariel princess looking a tad bit more infused with “melanin.”

Immediately, fans had tons of reactions. Including a sweet message from Zendaya herself stating, “Yeeeessss!! Here for thiiiissss!!” It looks like as of now for the most part everyone is simply excited about this selection. Here are some of their remarks:

“Yes Queen Can’t Wait to Be Part of Your World!”

“Yessssssssssssssssss.”

“You’ll be perfect as Ariel!”

“7 year old and 22 year old me are screaming and crying we going under sea mama.”

“Nothing left to say!!”

“PERIODT!!”

“Girl we LUV Y’all o my God I am so happy.”

“We Stan!”

“Congratulations!!! Ariel is my favorite Disney princess and you are going to absolutely crush it.”

“THIS. But with red dreads.”

“So Proud.”

“Please have red hair. Like Rihanna red.”

“We are so excited for this! Congrats!”

“A Queen Doing As she Should.”

“You finna snap.”

“Some of them mad. Saying Ariel is redhead, as if people cannot dye hairs. Congrats.”

Disney Live Action Little Mermaid Casts Halle Bailey as Ariel (Continued)

There is always a negative Nelly out there (LOL). As mentioned, so far it has been mainly kind accolades for Halle Bailey; however, there are some who have already expressed their displeasure.

Should Disney be afraid of this casting move? Well, by the looks of things they are boldly moving  forward regardless. Sources are stating that from the very beginning Disney wanted to make The Little Mermaid Live Action cast as diverse as possible.

This is not necessarily a bad move. In the past known as the 90’s; singer Brandy was cast as Cinderella with the great Whitney Houston being her godmother. Those castings did not prevent that TV adaptation of Cinderella from being uber-popular; or dare we say iconic?

Furthermore, in recent times Disney is raking in TONS of money with their live action Aladdin film. If you recall the Genie was originally Robin Williams, but in the modern era is played by Will Smith. Thus, proving that a race change may not necessarily spell out box office disaster. Regardless, of what some may say.

Final Details

Disney Live Action Little Mermaid

Do you know Halle Bailey? Well, just in case the next couple of sentences will get you up to speed! She is apart of a musical duo group known as Chloe x Halle (Chloe is her big sis BTW); who was discovered by the one and only Queen Bey, Beyonce.

Besides, singing Halle also has already demonstrated her acting chops. She currently is a series regular on hit TV show, Grownish starring Yara Shahidi. Therefore, Bailey already possesses the resume to back up her upcoming big screen role.

She can sing beautifully; she can act. This live action is looking like a true blockbuster! Moreover, as of known details regarding the film are a little sketch. So far Melissa McCarthy, Jacob Tremblay and Awkwafina have also been tapped for Little Mermaid roles. Rob Marshall will be directing the script which was written by David Magee. As more details pour in we will update you guys!

Met Gala 2018 – Rihanna

Sanctuary! Being a badgal, we do not expect Rih to ever play it safe or need fashion saving. Miss Fenty hit the masses with a one-two punch of iconic style. Chew on these Rihanna Met Gala ensemble tidbits:

Tons of Manpower: Laurie Brookins reveals, “Details on Rihanna’s Maison Margiela Artisanal look by John Galliano: A 3 piece ensemble of sculptural jacket and skirt over a bustier dress. All seafoam jacquard embellished with pearls and faux jewels. 250 hours to sew [and] 500 hours to embroider.” Goodness!

Keeping It in the Family: Rihanna’s famed stylist, Mel Ottenberg, is no stranger to fashion royalty and mastermind, John Galliano. In regards to the renown designer Mel states, “John Galliano!!! The goat gave me my first job when I was a baby and designed this epic look for Rihanna tonight. Thank you John.”

Wave Like You Just Don’t Care: Yes, the fit was sick, but an outfit is nothing without great hair! Hairstylist, Yusef Williams ensured that Rih would dazzle from head to toe. In regards to Rih’s amazing hair look, Yusef says, “John Galliano is the inspiration of all inspiration. For this look, I wanted to go back in time and create this Vatican-homage, but with a single finger wave to make it feel modern and more avant garde.”

Well wonder no more, because we have learned the secret! Red Hot Nails aka Maria Salandra, spilled the deets on Fenty’s Met Gala 2018 nail design. RHN gushes, “It’s amazing to see your creativity come to life, especially if Badgalriri is the inspiration! Thank you again to Tammy Taylor Nails. I am so proud to have partnered with you for this event!

My mentor, my friend and guru of acrylic nails! Thank you to Swarowski for the crystals! The embellishments are secured to the nail with THE ONLY RHINESTONE gel I use, Diamond Gel by Apres Nail.” We are going to cop some stat!

Met Gala 2018 – Rihanna, More Facts on Facts on Facts

Take a Brow: Rihanna’s team does deserve a round of applause for everything they executed and on time no less. One thing that fans certainly noticed was Rih’s different eye brow look. If you guessed bleached brows then you would be correct!

We got the lowdown from the brow genius himself, Damone Roberts! Damone reveals, “And then THIS happened! Rihanna at The Met Gala 2018. When Ri tells you to fly 3,000 miles from L.A. to N.Y; bleach her brows to blend into her skin and STILL have them sculpted to perfection… you do it!

Met Gala 2018

Hats Away: Couture designer, John Galliano slayed Rihanna’s look during the first Monday of May’s festivities. However, her hat was a loaner. Say what?!

Yes, the verdict is in, Fenty’s now infamous papal, bejeweled hat; is a miter from Cardinal Timothy Dolan. Mister Dolan serves as head of New York’s Roman Catholic diocese.

In regards to loaning out a miter to the pop star, Timothy did confirm that Rihanna did not keep the garment. In fact in an interview with SiriusXM Dolan says, “The news said she was wearing a tiara. [Not correct]. She gave it back to me this morning… She was very gracious.”

Met Gala 2018 – Zendaya

Met Gala 2018

 

Chain Reaction: Let’s switch up gears in order to gab about another stylish doll! Zendaya Coleman was a starlet who to us, perfectly married the art behind the Gala theme with spellbinding couture. Daya rocked a stunning number designed by the Versace luxury label.

Regarding the design Versace states, “Knight in shining Versace. Zendaya in a Joan of Arc inspired, custom molded Atelier Versace look at the 2018 Met Gala. Featuring gunmetal chainmail embellished with Swarowski crystals, flowing into a feminine fully beaded silk chiffon skirt.”

Met Gala 2018

Such a Gem: Jewelry is an excellent way to add more drama to an ensemble. For her Versace Met Ball after party look; Zendaya wore jewels by Butani. Butani dishes that Daya wore their Butani Diamond and Titanium Hoop earrings. The luxury jewelry and watches brand also loaned diamond studs to fellow singer, Ariana Grande.

Met Gala 2018

Butani enjoys a long history of adding gleaming details to celebrity looks. This just year Butani has been spotted on Jennifer Hudson, actress Kiersy, Mary J. blige and Mariah Carey.

Met Gala 2018 – Tiffany Haddish

Doesn’t Matter If You’re Black or White: Now we are used to singer Janelle Monae’s monochromatic looks. However, Tiffany’s Met Ball outfit could not be ignored either! Haddish walked the red carpet in glittering design by Brandon Maxwell. Brandon revealed the inspiration behind the effortless look.

Met Gala 2018

Maxwell states, “Tiffany’s look was all about purity with a dash of the wild side. One of the very first things you notice when you meet Tiffany is how effortlessly fresh and beautiful she is; a very pure heart with most fun spirit.

Hand made in our studio in New York, she wears an ivory triple layer lapel twill robe with train. [As well as] hand beaded black pearl leopard pants on georgette.”

Met Gala 2018

What is georgette? In short it is a type of fabric. Named after the early 20th century French dressmaker Georgette de la Plante; georgette is a sheer, dull-finished crepe and lightweight fabric. It is made with highly twisted yarns even though originally it was made from silk.

Met Gala 2018 – Dress Up

Met Gala 2018

Tommy x HM: Don’t be fooled by rocks that they got, even celebrities at times dress up up in retailers that us mere mortals wear. For instance, several famous faces strutted the red carpet in custom designs by Tommy Hilfiger as well as H&M.

Met Gala 2018

Tommy dressed models, Joan Smalls and Winnie Harlow. While H&M had a busy night dressing actress Kiersy as well as models, Alek Wek and Jasmine Sanders.

Met Gala 2018

Met Gala 2018 – Controversy and Disgust

While there were those who praised Anna Wintour’s selection or subject of motif. Many others found it inappropriate and simply declasse. This year’s Met Ball theme was, Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.

Is this really far-fetched or something to be viewed as abominable? Well, throughout history religion has had its powerful display in the art realm. Renaissance anyone? During this popular and distinctive period art pieces often included religious scenes ranging from the birth of Jesus Christ to depictions of his human mother, Mary.

Met Gala 2018

However, paintings and sculptures are one thing. For many believers in God; fashion is an art that is a step too far. This is because fashion is about self-expression and can be manipulated or used as a vehicle to poke fun of something quite serious.

Met Gala 2018 – Controversy and Disgust (Cont.)

Quite a few felt as though the 2018 theme was only dreamt up as a publicity stunt. Nevertheless, here are a few other relative thoughts people had regarding the Gala’s theme and fashions.

“What a disgrace! Mocking religion to create controversy and bring the public’s attention. This is not fashion or art. This is a circus!”

“Super weird.”

“Horrible.”

“What is this? The met gala theme was basically Catholicism.”

“This is so weird lmao.”

“The worst!!!”

“Why why why?? Even if it horrible, and looks terrible, just because its HER, everyone is “OMG THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO HUMANITYYYY!! Why?”

“RIDICULOUS. This is no longer a gala but a circus.”

“I bet they wouldn’t make fun of other religions, but of course they chose the catholics because they won’t make a major fuss.”

“Awfully horrible.”

“So disrespectful.”

“Vatican is gonna be pissed.”

“It’s blasphemous.”

“Not nice. You guys how and why this theme? Have respect!”

Met Gala 2018 – Controversy and Disgust, Final Thoughts

Met Gala 2018

The Met Museum wants to put everyone at ease with their latest exhibit. The museum assures all that it is not a mockery; but a display of the undeniable connection between art and religious couture.

The Met Museum states,

“The exhibition will feature a dialogue between fashion and medieval art. From The Met Collection to examine fashion’s ongoing engagement with the devotional practices and traditions of Catholicism.

Heavenly Bodies on view from May 10 through October 8 at The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Collection.”
