Arianne December 20, 2016December 20, 2016Leave a Comment

2016 is winding down so it is always fun to look back and see what trends held us all captivated. A color that never quite seems to go out of style for us ladies is the ever classic pink. From pink hair to shoes we literally saw it all this year. So let’s take a quick stroll down fashion memory lane. Here are the 10 Best Pink Clothing Moments of 2016!

10 Best Pink Clothing Moments of 2016

What girly-girl does not like pink? During 2016 several starlets let their soft side show in full force. We spotted supermodels, actresses and songstresses getting their pink clothing game on. Without further ado here they are:

Keke Palmer

Forget blondes, girls who wear pink have more fun! Moreover, the best part of this look is that Palmer styled it all on her own. She completed her pink clothing look utilizing 2 additional trends: choker and fur.

Beyonce

We are used to seeing the Queen killing it on her own but when she includes her daughter they become one unstoppable, dynamic duo. Pink shoes and pink embellished jacket, these dolls just get it. So then, as Blue Ivy’s jacket says they know how to slay.

Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj truly is a pink Barbie. Nicki is no stranger to the fun shade and has worn it for years. Furthermore, this year she kept it chic with a pink fur jacket and matching Chanel handbag.

Rihanna

The style icon completely took over Paris Fashion Week in a pink design of her own (Puma x Rihanna). Now that is something not everyone can say. Also, the Badgal got her pink on for her Vanguard Award performance at the MTV VMAs. Therefore, we want to be RiRi when we grow up.

Zendaya Coleman

Besides nabbing a huge role in Spiderman zendaya started her own clothing brand too! Her collection includes pink clothing plus other chic choices. However, one other pink outfit of note was her pink red carpet look by Christian Siriano.

Jasmine Tookes

Congrats to Jasmine for wearing the Vicky fantasy bra this year! However, we love all her many Victoria’s Secret looks but one pink gem reigns supreme. Her pink number from the VS winter commercial is total princess level.

Jourdan Dunn

We love a good Cinderella moment as much as the next hopeless romantic. Dunn definitely experienced one when she attended the Tony Awards with Zac Posen in one of his timeless pink designs.

Skai Jackson

Skai Jackson stole hearts this year for being freaking adorable and one of our favorite memes. Nevertheless, her pink Gucci suit for the Kids Choice Awards was also an attention grabber. Another cute moment of that same night was a photo moment shared between her and Ellen. AW!

La La Anthony

She’s sexy and she knows it! Two looks instantly come to mind. First, La La’s pink, fuzzy GIRLS tank top. We wanted that top the moment we laid eyes on it. Later on in the year Anthony shut it down in a pink bodycon dress from Hot Miami Styles.

Naomi Campbell

When you are named supermodel of the century you are making every fashion list from now until eternity! With that said, Campbell donned vintage pink John Galiano for her Taschen book release tour and pink hair/makeup for February Vogue cover.

Fashion Scene: Fences NYC Movie Premiere

ArianneUpdated on December 20, 2016December 20, 2016Leave a Comment

The ladies of the upcoming film, Fences, along with other notable fashionistas brought it last night at the latest stop of the movie’s press tour. In the words of Kanye West it was nothing but Flashing Lights as the starlets graced the red carpet at the Fences NYC Movie Premiere. We got the full style breakdown for you as well as a few deets on the film itself.

Fashion Scene: Fences NYC Movie Premiere

Fences is directed by Denzel Washington who also stars in the movie alongside actress, Viola Davis. Washington and Davis who is set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame January 5th were actually reunited by the movie in a way. Both Davis and Washington starred together in the Pulitzer Prize winning play. Therefore, the reprising of their roles for the film just made sense.

Like the play the movie Fences is receiving much accolades from critics. Fences was nominated for 2 Golden Globes, 4 NAACP Image Awards, 3 Screen Actors Guild Awards and a whopping 6 Critics Choice Awards. Viola recently picked up the Critic’s Choice Award for Fences in the category of Best Supporting Actress. Go Viola!

So then, if you were on the fence (sorry we couldn’t resist) about seeing Fences, you shouldn’t be at all. It’s a great movie with a slew of amazing actors and actresses in it. The film hits theaters on Christmas Day.

Fences NYC Movie Premiere

Now for some fashion! Viola looked fab in the Leonella gown by Cinq a’ Sept. She completed her look with a Tyler Ellis clutch, Stuart Weitzman heels and jewels from Hueb as well as Pasquale Bruni.

Cutie pie Saniyya Sidney stole the red carpet in an adorable pink design by Isabella Couture. Such a tiny princess and it’s always nice to see little girls look like little girls. Moreover, Sidney’s magnetic smile got even bigger when she got to pose for a pic with R&B singer, Usher.

Gymnast Gabby Douglas was also in attendance at the NYC screening held at Fredrick P. Rose Hall at Lincoln Center. Gabby loved the movie and describes it as “powerful.” Douglas’ tailored jacket slayed and we love that she highlighted her insane physique. With all those years of training she deserves to show it off!

Magic Johnson’s daughter Elisa Johnson rocks Are You Am I couture and we still can not stop flipping out. First off, Elisa looks absolutely amazing. Second, she is wearing one of our favorite “It Girl” brands. The combination is every fashion gazer’s dream!

Magic Johnson’s Daughter Elisa Johnson Rocks Are You Am I

Elisa Johnson was in attendance for Paper Magazine and Tidal’s party celebrating the Outspoken edition which stars model, Bella Hadid. Outspoken is Paper’s winter 2016 journal styled by Karlie Floss, Shannon Sense and lensed by Nicolas Moore. Another famous face you will instantly recognize in the issue is that of hip hop artist, Remy Ma.

Nevertheless, let us get back to the fashion. Elisa Johnson’s Are You Am I attire she wore is known as the Misa dress. She finished off her look with another hot trend, thigh high boots. Elisa’s sexy boot heels are from Chanel.

Are You Am I is the brand you want to wear if all eyes and paparazzi are always tailing you. Furthermore, there are several famous dolls that rock the brand on the regular. Media starlets Jourdan Dunn, Ashley Moore, Karrueche Tran, Kendall Jenner and Rihanna have all been spotted in Are You Am I fashions.

Magic Johnson’s Daughter Elisa Johnson – The Hair

Move over Solange and Rihanna here comes Elisa! Bobby pins and styling hair clips are not readily pieces we think to include in our outfit. Yet, celebrities continue to make it an edgy, couture statement. Think Rihanna at the AMAs or her W Mag cover as well as Solange’s album cover. Many are giving the look a go and wildly succeeding.

As a result, Elisa is adding her name to the list with a bobby pin wrapped hairstyle. This hair look is certainly for a girl who considers herself to be a risk taker. If you love being the talk of the town then this hairstyle is a must!

Prince Harry’s Meghan Markle Most Googled Actress 2016

Arianne December 19, 2016December 19, 2016Leave a Comment

Every year everyone waits around for the yearbook of tech. The coveted and popularity contest known as Google’s “most googled” list. Yeah dolls, try saying that five times fast! The list in some categories was pretty predictable but one category blew up the spot. Get the details: Prince Harry’s Meghan Markle Most Googled Actress 2016.

Prince Harry’s Meghan Markle Most Googled Actress 2016

Beyonce continues her reign as Queen for 2016. Her song, Formation, from the Lemonade album hit the number spot for most googled song of the year. Moreover, Bey herself got googled more than any other musician. Therefore, all hail the queen.

Nevertheless, a potential future princess caused quite a stir this year as well. Actress Meghan Markle from Suits is the most googled actress of 2016. Not an actress from Stranger Things. Not a lady from Game of Thrones either. However, should we really be surprised that so many would suddenly become enthralled with the talented beauty? Of course not!

Meghan Markle Most Googled Actress 2016

The reason for the shock is because Markle’s fame went to new levels quite recently. Although known for her TV show, Meghan’s popularity began to skyrocket around October. Which means enough interest was generated in less than three months to garner Markle the top spot on the Google list. Crazy.

Markle’s world-wide fame occurred after it came to light that she was dating Prince Harry. Some were down with the swirl, others were not. The announcement created such a frenzy millions wanted to know everything about Markle. What she looked like and all her contributions to humanity.

Markle seems to have taken the bigger spotlight in stride and has been absolutely gracious. Despite mean comments she’s taken the high road and continues her work as being a great actress, supportive girlfriend and ambassador for the less fortunate. So then, go Markle and keep doing your thing girl!
