Black Hairstyles: Keke Palmer Shaved Head Hairstyle -Ring the Alarm!

Arianne Suggs May 20, 2017May 20, 2017Leave a Comment

Amber Rose, Amandla Steinberg and now Miss Keke Palmer is joining the club! Keke Palmer hit up her social platforms and handed fans a complete and total shocker. All… hair… gone (in our Justin Timblerlake voice). With this newest sighting it is safe to say that the Keke Palmer shaved head hairstyle shows no signs of slowing down.

Black Hairstyles: Keke Palmer Shaved Head Hairstyle -Ring the Alarm!

There are certain celebrities who just rock short hair better than any other female on earth. We immediately think Halle Berry, Teyana Taylor, Maria Borges, Toni Braxton, India Westbrooks, Amilna Estevao, Slick Woods and Ysaunny Brito to name a few. Moreover, KeKe Palmer fits right in with that exclusive list of gorgeous, trendy women.

Keke Palmer first gave us Angela Bassett (shoot, she’s also on the list too honeys!) vibes when she originally cut her strands down to a crop cut. Now it looks like the actress and novel writer is going a step further. Palmer’s shaved head hairstyle is bold all on its own, but she incorporated yet another additional fiery touch.

Keke adds more edge to her style thanks to a fire engine red hair color. Which is why we are saying, “Ring the alarm Miss Palmer!” Her look is definitely fierce and boisterous as well as not for the faint of hair heart. Are you brave enough to try out the Keke Palmer shaved head hairstyle?

Fashionable Mention: Adam Selman The Fugitive Sunglasses on Erykah Badu

Arianne Suggs May 20, 2017May 20, 2017Leave a Comment

No not the movie our loves! “The Fugitive” is a chic pair of sunnies that is making their way onto the faces of all the rich and fabulous. From singers to models they are all copping a pair faster than you can utter, “Say what?!” Therefore, today we are giving the Adam Selman The Fugitive Sunglasses a Fashionable Mention!

Fashionable Mention: Adam Selman The Fugitive Sunglasses

It is very difficult to make something look super modern without it being sort of corny or contrived. However, designer Adam Selman is having no problems giving his Adam Selman x Le Specs sunglasses collection some serious edginess. The Fugitive comes across as a design playing off the classic cat-eye shape, just slightly more exaggerated.

However, Adam’s ingenuity and aesthetic talents are no surprise to anyone. This is the very man responsible for Rihanna‘s iconic CFDA gown. Furthermore, if you are keeping up with Rih’s killer Cannes 2017 looks Selman is behind the dress she wore to the Chopard Space Party. Also, who of us can forget his show-stopper human bouquet look from his Fall 2017 fashion show? The man is a fresh breath of air in fashion and just gets it!

Therefore, who all is giving the Adam Selman The Fugitive Sunglasses a spin? Too many starlets to count, but some of our favorites to rock the look include the one-of-a-kind Erykah Badu as well as model GiGi Hadid. Social “It Girl” Sophia Richie has also been spotted in The Fugitive. Therefore, it is obvious that this is great, trendy fashion accessory, but the question is would you wear these babies?

Life would be so grand if we all had a fairy godmother who could whip us up a dress with a wave of wand. However, that’s just not how dresses get made. There is sketching, pulling fabrics, tons of sewing as well as fittings. Dior revealed a little BTS information about Rihanna’s Cannes Film Festival gown. The fashion house stated,

“Setting off a flashbulb frenzy, Rihanna arrives at the 70th annual Cannes Film Festival. Rocking that Dior by Maria Grazia Chiuri as only she knows how! Many days and hours of dedicated work were put in by our supremely skilled petites mains. To ensure perfection when it came to making Rihanna’s immaculate Dior haute couture off-white silk taffeta coat and bustier dress.

It’s Finally Here! Check Out the Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival Reveal

Arianne Suggs May 19, 2017May 19, 2017Leave a Comment

We have all waited patiently and the moment is finally here! Luxury jewelry and accessories label Chopard promised that RiRi’s collaborative collection would finally make its big debut at one of the biggest film festivals in the world. As a result, we are excited to say… They delivered! We have your first look at The Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival Reveal!

It’s Here! The Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival Reveal

She just can’t slay us like this! Rihanna’s Chopard collection is voguish and oozing with glamour. The imagery captured for the collection which is now on display is sophisticated and high-end. Fashioned in a very simple side profile pose, Fenty showcases a few of her magnificent pieces.

Probably the most recognizable piece is the Rihanna Loves Chopard Chandelier Earrings. These dazzling couture adornments shine bright with jewel encrusted florals and butterflies beaming of boisterous, vibrant hues. The overall look is reminiscent of spring and all of its blossoming flowers.

All year long Rihanna has been blessing us with previews of her collection. For instance at the 2016 Grammy Awards Rih hit the red carpet in her chandelier earrings. Moreover, more recently there was a spotting during the 2017 Met Gala. Of course, it was hard for anyone to take their eyes off of Rihanna’s Comme des Garcons garb as well as HOT Dsquared sandals. However, if you looked past all that fabulousness you may have gazed upon a few more pieces from the Rihanna Loves Chopard collection. Well played RiRi!

The Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival Dinner

The queen of slay continues to set the level high for trends. Rihanna stunned in a gorgeous noire gown by Ralph and Russo. Her amazing stylist, Mel Ottenberg, finished her ensemble with a matching clutch handbag by Roger Vivier and of course, Chopard jewelry.

We love how Rih used her beauty accessories to add a pop of color to her luxurious look. On her nails and lips we spy a rouge infusion. The color red denotes sass, allurement, sex appeal and love. All terms that perfectly reflect Rihanna as well as her collection.

Rihanna’s hair for the dinner is textbook. When wearing such a structural, statement piece hair should be kept simple in order not to distract. Our Badgal’s tresses were pulled back into a sleek chignon with deep middle part for extra drama.

Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival- Play Time!

“Playing around in my Rihanna Loves Chopard Collection!” That was Rihanna’s excited announcement on social during her Chopard festivities. Miss Fenty modeled several luxe jewelry pieces from her collection, each making her “shine bright like a diamond.”

Rihanna also took a moment to thank Chopard for the collaboration. She states,

“Thank you to the wonderful Caroline Scheufele for such an unbelievable opportunity to create high end jewelry for the first time in my career. Had a blast tonight at the official launch for our collaboration! RiRi Loves Chopard!”

Congratulations to Rihanna and Chopard on a lovely collaboration and collection. Furthermore, we can’t wait to see what Rihanna designs next!

Ask and Tell: Karrueche Attends Turner UpFront for New TNT Show ‘Claws’

Arianne Suggs May 18, 2017May 18, 2017Leave a Comment

Item: Karrueche‘s glamorous belted look seen as Karrueche Attends Turner UpFront for New TNT Show ‘Claws.’

You Asked: Hey I’ve been really trying to change up my style because I want to be a model one day. And I really like Karrueche’s dress from today. Do you guys know who makes it?

Ask and Tell: Karrueche Attends Turner UpFront for New TNT Show ‘Claws’

The Verdict: We really like Karrueche’s OOTD too! The off the shoulder trend is still red hot so Miss Tran is flexing her “It Girl” style status. Her dress is actually not a dress at all. Karrueche’s awesome stylist, Byron Javor revealed that it is a chic jacket by Fendi. Javor simply converted the jacket into a dress that effortlessly fits Tran’s petite and toned frame.

Furthermore, in order to not get lost in the jacket Karrueche belted her ensemble. Her belt is a design by BCBGMAXAZRIA which matched her Fendi jacket’s pockets. Her black belt not only helps to bring her look together with cohesion, but also aids in enhancing Karrueche’s waistline. Belts are an excellent and simple accessory to utilize in order to create an hourglass figure even when wearing bulky garments.

Nevertheless, no outfit is complete without a bomb pair of heels. Tran’s cute ankle strap heels are a sexy design by luxury shoe designer, Giuseppe Zanotti. Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

Naomie Harris Attends Cannes 2017 Wearing Gucci Fall 2016

Arianne May 17, 2017May 17, 2017Leave a Comment

Film Festivals are where the best of the best showcase their amazing works as well as make a fashion statement. We have come across several eye-catching style moments, yet one actress hit the red carpet in one vibrant ensemble. Any guesses? Yup, Naomie Harris Attends Cannes 2017 Wearing Gucci Fall 2016. What’s “old” can still be classic!

Naomie Harris Attends Cannes 2017 Wearing Gucci Fall 2016

In girl world there are two things that are usually considered to be fashion suicide. one is repeating an outfit too soon in the cycle. The other is rocking something considered to be “so last week.”

Nevertheless, Harris proves that you can still look fab in something from a past season with it feeling fresh and new. Actress Naomie Harris is currently attending the 2017 Cannes Film Festival for her latest film, Ismael’s Ghost. For her big Cannes 2017 red carpet moment she wore a gown from the Gucci Fall 2016 collection.

Her take on the Gucci ensemble is different from the original design seen coming down the Gucci catwalk. Long gone is the one shoulder floral top. Naomie replaced it with a spaghetti strap bodice in matching striped colors. This change gave her OOTD more of a spring and summery vibe.

The last component of Naomie Harris’ Cannes outfit were accessories. She paired her bold gown with a beautiful, delicate necklace from Atelier Swarovski. A nice touch that grabs a little spotlight while keeping attention on the main garment.

Ask and Tell: Karrueche’s Pink Baby Orange Set

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 15, 2017May 15, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Karrueche Tran’s Pink Baby Orange Set.

You Asked: OMG 1966 I am really feeling Karrueche’s orange athletic outfit. And I hate orange! I have to have it where can I buy the set?!

Ask and Tell: Karrueche’s Pink Baby Orange Set

The Verdict: Thanks for hitting us up and sorry for the delayed answer! However, the ensemble Karrueche is wearing isn’t a set. GASP! We know, we know it looked seamless right?

You know the styling is truly on point when two pieces from two completely different brands can be paired together and no one is the wiser. Tran’s “Beverly Hills Basketball” cropped sweats top is actually by Nike. So then great catch in regards to the athletic wear vibe of Karrueche’s fits. Her equally sexy athleisure skirt is a design by Pink Baby.

Pink Baby is an edgy, urban brand for the “It Girl” in all of us. You may recall actress Keke Palmer wearing their Paper dress ($75) not too long ago. If not you will find the visual evidence below.

Nevertheless, you will be happy to know that the Pink Baby Orange Set does come with its own crop top hoodie, just minus any wording. However, the look still goes hard and will have onlookers screaming, “FIRE!” Get the full set for $100 or just one piece ( the top or bottom) for $50 at www.pinkbabyonline.com.

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

Kerry Washington Covers Net-A-Porter The Edit Power Women Issue

ArianneUpdated on May 12, 2017May 12, 2017Leave a Comment

“It’s the Power Women Issue of Net-a-Porters’ The Edit. Wearing all female designers! Check it out and let me know what you think.” Those were the words of a very excited Kerry Washington as the first images of her newest cover story hit the industry scene. Kerry Washington Covers Net-A-Porter The Edit Power Women Issue, a popular edition that serves to recognize ladies who are relentless and dedicated to not only their craft, but being the best.

Inside the pages of the issue Washington gets real. The Scandal actress opens up to readers about what it really took for her to become fearless. It was not a quality that she was born with… she learned it. A great lesson for anyone who wishes to reach their dreams as well as be more successful.

Kerry Washington Covers Net-A-Porter The Edit Power Women Issue

Jennifer Dickinson, the Editor of Net-A-Porter The Edit discussed Kerry as the mag’s cover star. Dickinson was kind enough to share a little BTS (behind the scenes) tidbit. She says,

“You probably already think Kerry Washington is pretty amazing, right? Well, add to that the fact that she did this shoot for The Edit when her baby son was still tiny, pumping and feeding between shots. I KNOW. Hashtag queen, but what does she do when it all gets overwhelming? Think of Shonda Rhimes obviously. Be more [like] Shonda, Kerry kills it too, power women.”

Just goes to prove nothing stops Kerry and that is exactly why she is named one of The Edit’s “power women.” The issue also fabulously marries fashion to Washington’s Scandal character. For instance you will discover independent female designers pairing their best couture looks to the powerful Olivia Pope. A true celebration of the strong essence of women who are leading the pack in both the fashion as well as entertainment industries.

Be sure to check out Washington’s cover story and read about all the amazing women who are reigning queens in their perspective fields. Also, check out our sneak peak of Kerry’s editorial spread. It’s gorgeous!

Ask and Tell: Beyonce’s Gucci Marmont Embroidered Velvet Shoulder Bag

Arianne May 12, 2017May 12, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Beyonce’s Gucci Loved Bag aka the Gucci Marmont Embroidered Velvet Shoulder Bag.

You Asked: Hey 1966! I like that Loved bag I’ve been seeing the Queen with! I saw someone call it the Loved Bag. You know the one with the florals? Who makes that?

Ask and Tell: Beyonce’s Gucci Marmont Embroidered Velvet Shoulder Bag

The Verdict: Thanks for the question, we have noticed Queen Bey toting the Gucci Loved Bag around quite a bit too! The bag is actually the Gucci Marmont Embroidered Velvet Shoulder Bag. Quite a splurge if you are thinking of adding it to your closet. It retails for $2,700 and can be found right on the Gucci website.

Furthermore, if 2700 is steep there is a slightly (and we mean slight) cheaper Gucci Marmont handbag. Just as cute and chic with florals. Instead of reading “Loved” it says “Modern.” This bag will run you only $2,590.

Now getting back to the Queen. We have seen the CFDA Fashion Icon winner with this particular bag on the Gram at least twice now. The first time she was outside you know just getting fresh air and slaying for the cameras in distressed denim and Alberta Ferreti sheer blouse ($1200). Take two occurred when Bey wore a yellow satin Hellessy ‘Akim’ coat and the Minaroe ‘Aliyah’ gown ($120).

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.
