Karreuche Tran set the red, excuse us blue carpet on fire last night at the Autism Speaks Gala. The Autism Speaks organization spreads awareness and sponsors research as well as activities aimed at the public, families as well as the government. Autism Speaks has had the privilege of raising millions towards autism research.
Last night, Karreuche was in attendance to show her support along with celebs such as Al Roker and Tran’s bestie Chantal Jeffries. Tran wore a black gown by Solace London to Autism Speaks which was held in Santa Monica, California.
Solace London who has also been worn by Bond Girl Naomie Harris is known for their curve-hugging evening gowns and Karreuche’s Revelation Maxi Dress with strappy low back fit the bill. The dress retails for $163 and unfortunately is completely sold out… go figure (no pun intended). Nevertheless, there are a slew of cheaper options available right now that will still allow you to look as sassy as Tran. Our pick is the ASOS Petite High Neck Strappy Back Maxi Dress that is only $40!
Hair Notes: If you are wearing a sexy little number like Karreuche keep hair simple with messy bed-head hair. You’ll look very chic with a care-free vibe as well as attitude.
And now for our Editor’s Pick of how to get this look!

When you are the face behind Robert Cavalli fall adverts then you must be able to pose like rent is due, correct? Ciara is a one woman powerhouse who can sing, dance and model her butt off. Ciara appears in the most recent edition of Vogue Italia showcasing creations by major designer brands.
What exactly does Ciara wear in her shoot lensed by Markus & Koala? CiCi brings the heat in a bold, printed bodysuit by Dquared2 as well as Tom Ford skirt and top by Cushnie et Ochs. In still another display of great fashion Ciara models a stunning corset by Givenchy along with skirt and boots.
Ciara looked completely drop dead gorgeous with the help of an amazing team comprising of hair, makeup and styling. Yolanda Frederick handled makeup duties, while Cesar Ramirez was on locks control and the wonderful Agnieszka Scibior made sure Ciara’s style was kept on point.

As the famous saying goes, “If it is not broke, why fix it?” Many times when it comes to fashion choices we may find ourselves wondering the same thing. If something is working and making us look like we belong in a magazine cover story then maybe we should just stick to it.
We have noted many celebrities who seem to apply that very thinking to themselves. Case in point, the uber talented and gorgeous Jonelle Monae who can rock monochromatic (black and white) styles like no one’s business. Of course, Monae falls into that category of women that could take paper bags, sow them together into an ensemble and make it look like the hottest trend ever. Then again, that is probably why she is star, right?
Whether she has been performing on stage, attending a show during fashion week or hitting other red carpet events Monae is straight up every stylist’s dream. She has a physique that can basically pull off anything and has the edge to take risks. See what we mean by checking out just 8 of her chic monochromatic outfits.
Collection: Akris Spring 2016
Designer: Albert Kriemler
Models Who Walked the Show: Cindy Bruna, Ysaunny Brito, Aamito Lagum
On The Runway: This collection is simply heaven. The hues of the ocean really translated on the runway. Akris is always fresh and what’s now and always delivers.
Collection: Stella McCartney S/S 2016 – PFW
Designer: Stella McCartney
Models Who Walked the Show: Karly Loyce, Lineisy Montero, Binx Walton, Herieth Paul, Afrodita Dominguéz, Aya jones
On The Runway: For me personally I feel like Stella McCartney’s collections are usually one note or is so straight laced that sometimes it just doesn’t always deliver that wow factor. Yet this season Stella really showed something new. I am in love with the pink pleated dress. The way it moves and how the dress a three dimensional feel makes we want to put it on right now. Also the orange see through dress is absolutely gorgeous.
Collection: Martin Grant spring 2016
Designer: Martin Grant
Models Who Walked the Show: Nykhor Paul and Tara Falla
On The Runway: It was all about the color blue and the ease of fabrics for this collection. The runway collection was prim and proper with great silhouettes that formed to the body very well.
Just the other day, the beautiful Jennifer Hudson had us in a fashion fairy tale thanks to her Atelier Prabal Gurung gown. Since then, we have been obsessed with Disney fashions, because what little girl hasn’t imagined herself as a gorgeous princess? Therefore, it seems as though our Disney-esque style fascination will have to continue on its high now that our attention has swifted towards a particular pair of Jimmy Choos inspired by Cindy herself. Ladies and girls, fashionistas and converted tomboys feast your eyes on the Jimmy Choo Crystal Covered Pointy Toe Pump aka Cinderella Slipper!
These pumps are so bomb if we had attended Prince Charming’s ball in these babies we wouldn’t have left one behind… because we would have super glued them to our feet (LOL)! The photos alone simply do not do this shoe justice especially when it comes to the luminous and luxurious shine given off by the crystals. For that reason we invite you to take a moment to watch this short video showcasing these out of this world pair of heels.
Okay, welcome back and honestly aren’t those shoes simply beautiful? Design like that is meticulous and very well executed. Moreover, would we expect anything less from a brand that prides itself on it’s production value? See for yourself, how much love and attention Jimmy Choo puts into every pair of their stunning heels.
Here are a few more photos of the shoes while on display in Saks Fifth Avenue. You may remember that actress Lily James was lucky enough to rock these for the premiere of Disney’s real life adaptation of Cinderella. If you have around $4600 lying around you can also rock these lovelies anytime you desire.

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.
