Zendaya Covers Allure Magazine January 2017 Issue

ArianneUpdated on December 13, 2016December 13, 2016Leave a Comment

This just in, Zendaya Covers Allure Magazine January 2017 Issue! From clothing brand launch to cover girl, Zendaya is doing it all this year. Miss Coleman is no stranger to photo shoots, the limelight, launching companies or being a role model for young girls. She speaks her mind confidently and stands up for herself as well as her culture with grace. In the January edition of Allure Zendaya tackles the importance of being yourself even in a fashion sense.

Zendaya Covers Allure Magazine January 2017 Issue

Do you dress according to your mood or go for trends? Does your wardrobe scream that you dance to the beat of your own drum or blend in with the crowd? In Zendaya’s case when it comes to couture she aims to be her herself and wear whatever she desires. Regarding her passion for fashion Zendaya told Allure,

“You can’t let other people determine what you want to wear, how you do your hair, how you live your life. You have to live for yourself and what makes you happy. So that’s why I dress how I dress on red carpets, and I wear a mullet to the Grammys and do what I want. It’s very liberating to just wear something for yourself and because I feel confident and I feel comfortable in it.

But that’s the whole point, you know, is for there to be conversation and talk. If I didn’t dress the way I dress or wear my hair the way I wanted to because people told me that they didn’t like it, I would be boring. And I wouldn’t be on the cover of this magazine, because no one would care. And I would never experiment. And I never would find my confidence. So I would just have a rule that you have to live for yourself and what makes you happy.”

Zendaya Covers Allure Magazine January 2017- Final Thoughts

As they fashion is about self-expression. Therefore, be like Zendaya and always include yourself and personality in your style decisions. If you do you will feel more confident and enjoy every piece purchased as you fill up your closet.

Nevertheless, as you can see in this post, Zendaya looks absolutely stunning in her editorial. The photos were lensed by Jason Kibbler with styling by Patrick Mackie and makeup by Frankie Boyd. Also, that fabulous wet, slick hair was created by hair mastermind Kim Kimble. Yes, homegirl that fries, dyes and lays to the side Queen Bey’s strands.

Prince Harry looks like he is ready to risk it all… again! Prince Harry has been all up in the news over his latest girlfriend, actress Meghan Markle. Controversy arose after some very unkind comments were made in regards to their union. However, Harry has handled every situation with grace just like his mother would have and has faithfully stuck up and by his woman. Yet, now the talk of the town is about another famous lady. Read on to get all the details on Prince Harry Meets Rihanna As Barbados Celebrates 50.

Prince Harry Meets Rihanna As Barbados Celebrates 50

Long live HarRih! Alright, we will cool our heels because this looks to be just an innocent meeting. Prince Harry is visiting Barbados due to the country celebrating fifty years of independence.

Harry also delivered a message from the Queen who unfortunately could not attend. Harry said to all in attendance in behalf of the Queen, “Prince Philip and I send our warmest wishes to the Government and the people of Barbados… Our countries have shared history, shared values and an affection which continues to bind us.”

Besides helping Barbados ring in their freedom, Harry also took part in more humantarian work. He visited sick children at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Bridgetown. His visit was definitely welcomed and he even received a hug from one of the young patients.

Prince Harry Meets Rihanna

Okay drums please, the moment you have been waiting for has arrived. How did HarRih and the whole Prince Harry Meets Rihanna event come about? As all true fans know Rihanna hails from Barbados which makes sense that she would go home in order to celebrate such a huge historic benchmark.

Rihanna and Harry were both attending Prime Minister Freundel Stuart’s Toast to the Nation when they were seen shaking hands. An extremely happy looking Prince Harry looked ecstatic to meet superstar Rihanna.

Furthermore, we don’t blame Prince Harry at all for being so excited. Rihanna looked glamorous in a low cut blue gown accessorized with gold jewelry. Who knows maybe the pair will become good friends. At the very least we can expect some cool memes to be on the way!
