Now if you remember back in 2015 Rihanna’s pink red carpet smash was designed by Giamattista Valli. The dress made even more news for two reasons. First, Rihanna was one of the very last celebrities to arrive to the Grammys that year. As a result, she instantly captured everyone’s undivided attention.

Second, Rihanna revealed how the dress came to be in her possession. While other celebrities had their stylists hard at work finding them a designer frock to wear. Fenty simply did some online shopping. Yes, the singer literally searched online, found the infamous pink dress and purchased it. Therefore, that is how Rihanna’s humongous pink gown went from Paris Couture Fashion Week to the Grammys red carpet.

Ralph and Russo

Ralph and Russo has produced several extremely gorgeous pink dresses this year. If Rihanna ever wanted to dazzle in a pink showstopper again one of these designs would be perfection.

Hair Crush: Keke Palmer Short Cut

Hair Crush: Keke Palmer Short Cut

Okay it’s official Keke Palmer is Angela Bassett reincarnated. I may have been too little to see Waiting to Exhale when it came out but I know a Bassett cut when I see one! Nevertheless, this isn’t a discussion of who did it first because Palmer is simply slaying my life right now. The Keke Palmer short cut is definitely one of my 2016 hair crushes!

Keke Palmer Short Cut

Hair Crush: Keke Palmer Short Cut 2

No this isn’t the first time Keke has chopped off all her locks. However, each time I absolutely love it. There’s some women who make short hair iconic. Like Halle Berry, Toni Braxton, Zendaya, Rihanna, Amber Rose, Dorothy Dandridge and Diana Ross. Palmer is right in the mix for me.

Not everyone can pull off short hair yet Keke makes it look like a sizzling trend every single time. The Keke Palmer short cut is a pixie dream. Short but with plenty of texture. The hairstyle says I’m all business with sassy allure.

Hair Crush: Keke Palmer Short Cut 3

Plus, I just love the attitude this style gives her! You can tell in her head she’s thinking, “I didn’t come to play with y’all!” She always seems more feisty (in a good way) when she rocks with the short hair.

The Keke Palmer Short Cut Reaction

I’m not the only one who is feeling Miss Palmers tresses. Fans have been weighing in on her look too. Here’s a few of their lovely thoughts.

“Love the short hair!”

“Damn she gorgeous.”

“Serving Angela Bassett in Waiting to Exhale!”

“Killin it.”

“Look like a young Angela Bassett.”

“Yasss.”

“Beautiful.”

“Yas girl.”

“She do look like Angela Bassett.”

Hair Crush: Keke Palmer Short Cut4

Guess its unanimous. Palmer is Angela’s honorary daughter (LOL). They both share the same awesome acting chops and apparently great hair.

What is black girl magic? This occurs when a woman of color achieves a great accomplishment that in turn can build confidence and inspire other black girls. It’s like when a fairy sprinkles pixie dust and the recipient can suddenly do something insanely cool. As success is achieved and talked about it is sprinkled upon as well as spread to the masses showing dreams do come true.

Magic was definitely witnessed as the first sweep in Olympic history in 100m hurdles took place. Americans Brianna Rollins, Nia Ali and Kristi Castlin all leaped their way to the finish line during the talent loaded race. Rollins, Ali and Castlin showed poise, determination and of course speed.

Before the start, the feeling was tense as the athletes readied themselves for the race. Pacing and stretching instantly became second nature to all. Announcer Ato Boldon then boldly declared numerous times that the Americans had absolutely no chance at sweeping the medals. Boldon may not have believed in the ladies capabilities, however they were about to silence his ignorance.
