The Karrueche Kode Mag exclusive is entitled, The Colorful World of Karreuche. Fans get a small window into Tran’s world through social media. Nevertheless, it is a very small glimpse.

Tran has truly craved out a career any girl could be proud of and stand behind. However, inside Kode Mag she talks about negativity. No star is exempt from haters and Karreuche is no stranger to receiving them. As a result she has learned how to live and how to do her thing despite any naysayers. In regards to her new outlook Karreuche Tran simply says,

“I have nothing to say to anyone who has anything negative to say.”

A great rule of thumb for anyone. Just keep your head up and doing you. Don’t focus on the negativity because misery loves company and life is too darn short for that!

Karreuche Kode Mag Exclusive – The Details

As the saying goes, “It takes a village.” No one knows that better than the rich and famous. It takes stylists and creatives to make celebs look A-list. The team that glammed up Karreuche are total rock stars. Here’s our team cheat sheet:

She chose a soft white sheer plunging V-neck lace and silk crepe mermaid gown with hand embroidered French Chantilly lace appliques, luxurious French tulle skirt and silk covered bridal button accents.”

The Glowing Bride

Eniko Parrish glowed in not one but two Vera Wang gowns! After exchanging vows with hubby Kevin Hart, Eniko Parrish changed into another Vera Wang dress for her spectacular reception. Vera filled us in on the reception dress stating,

“For her reception, she wore a custom long sleeve light ivory sheer lace gown with sumptuous hand placed French Chantilly lace applique artfully contoured along the entire gown.”

Eniko Parrish looked like a million bucks and all could tell she felt like it. Moreover, she was full of lovey, dovey greatness. She posted pics to the Gram saying,

Arianne SuggsUpdated on August 17, 2016August 16, 2016Leave a Comment

The hashtag “Black Women Did That” has been on and popping! Especially, during the 2016 Olympics. Moreover, the hashtag committed to instilling confidence in young black girls around the world can add another cool triumph. Olympian Simone Manuel stole hearts as she became the first African American woman to win an individual gold medal in swimming. Served First has figured out an amazing way to capture the moment. Check it out everyone, Served Fresh Turns Simone Manuel Into Little Mermaid!

Served Fresh Turns Simone Manuel Into Little Mermaid

“Out where they walk, out where they run, out where they play all day in the sun!” Most little girls always dream of being a Disney princess. Simone Manuel is now definitely living the dream! In a super cute artwork by clothing brand Served First Manuel is seen chilling “Under the Sea” with Flounder.

In the pic Simone also rocks a crown and a gold medal! Very fitting due to her historic win. Served First recognizes just how huge Manuel’s achievement is and spoke on how they were inspired by it. They said,

“We designed our First Children’s piece aimed at encouraging young women of color that they too can achieve greatness in the face of adversity. The significance of her victory resonates profoundly with us as swimming pools have been a racially sensitive flashpoint in the U.S. for generations.

Historically, African-Americans were often denied access to swimming pools during the segregation era and long thereafter. In fact, we remember quite vividly how an entire pool was drained after actress, Dorothy Dandridge dipped her toe in.

With artwork inspired by the Little Mermaid, our nieces, sisters, cousins and daughters can now showcase their pride and affection for Simone.”

Details – How to Get Yours

The artwork is up for purchase. You can rock a Simone Manuel Little Mermaid tee to show your support of Black Girl Magic. BY THE WAY! We checked out the Served Fresh website in order to get the price of the Simone Manuel t-shirt and found out something cool.

If you order before August 19th Served First has a coupon code you can use to receive 10% off! Just surf over to their site and a pop-up window will show you the way. This is a limited-time offer but once you see some of their other merchandise you will want to put it to good use. From Usain Bolt to Drake there are tons of awesome designs to get into.

The regular Simone Manuel tee will cost you $35.00. Nevertheless, there is also a crewneck version that retails for $78.50. Head to www.servedfreshcollection.com to get yours now.

Drake must be grinning from ear to ear after seeing Rihanna’s latest editorial! The Rihanna W Magazine September 2016 issue is out of this world fantastic! From the styling to the makeup it is amazingly intense!

Rihanna W Magazine September 2016

If we had to guess which celebrity would probably survive if the world came to an end Rihanna would be high on the list. She has mastered the art of truly being herself in an industry full of fabrication. Plus, she has overcome negativity and past lukewarm sales to become one of the biggest artists of all time!

She is deemed a fashion icon and has even surpassed MJ on the charts when it comes to number ones. If she can achieve being one of the last musicians of her “time” to still be relevant over a decade later. Rihanna can definitely be the last woman standing here on earth.

Simply Wow

No one can do it like a badgal. The Rihanna W magazine September 2016 editorial is a moody masterpiece. Photography was lensed by the extremely gifted Steven Klein. Also, styling for the shoot was of course handled by the one and only Edward Enninful.

Nevertheless, we cannot ignore the exquisite makeup looks adorned by Rihanna. The extraordinary beauty looks were designed by the infamous Pat McGrath. Pat went all out even creating 3D art that intensified Rihanna’s facial features. As a result, RiRi seems to pop right off the page and she looks like she missed her calling as a supermodel.

However, don’t just take our word for it. Check out a behind the scene look of Rihanna’s photo shoot.

Furthermore, if you liked that here is the full length version. Also, keep sliding down to see Rihanna’s sick editorial. Enjoy Navy!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 26, 2016July 26, 2016Leave a Comment

The army continues to press on powerfully! Olivier Rousteing has done it once again, creating an eye-popping visual masterpiece. Hang on tight fashion lovers we’ve got your first look at the Balmain Fall – Winter 2016 Ad Campaign!

Balmain Fall – Winter 2016 Ad Campaign

At first glance you notice two familiar faces. A hip hop mogul turned designer and world renown supermodel. Kanye West and Joan Smalls both star in the Balmain Fall – Winter 2016 Ad Campaign.

This crisp, dramatic monochromatic campaign is a total 180 from some of the other recent Balmain campaign sightings. For instance, the Resort 2017 ad campaign is lusciously vibrant! From the fashions to the background setting everything just pops.

Kanye West For Balmain

The Balmain Fall – Winter 2016 Ad Campaign though simplistic in a sense still plays on drama. In the shot West seems to be tipping over as Smalls reaches out with all her strength to try to prevent his fast approaching fate.

The Details

Olivier Rousteing describes the Fall – Winter campaign as “Music Meets Fashion.” Very fitting since an iconic musician and heavily sought after model were both casted. Moreover, West over the years has turned his attention to couture. Thus, bringing the fusion full circle. Kanye has collaborated with Balmain on Yeezy fashions and it looks like stylish marriage continues on with the addition of the campaign.

Joan Smalls For Balmain

The fabulous Pascal Dangin who blessed the Balmain Fall – Winter 2016 Ad Campaign with his magical fingers took to social to announce the ad’s release. He said,

“First image of our new Balmain campaign FW2016 #BalmainArmy with Kanye West [and] Joan Smalls. Photographed by Steven Klein.”

Congrats to Balmain on another gorgeous campaign. It immediately gave us flashbacks to the stunning Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer campaign. We’re excited to see additional images!

Amber Rose Confirms Ethnicity and Slays Longer Hair

Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 20, 2016July 20, 2016Leave a Comment

From the moment she came out onto the Entertainment scene we have loved Amber Rose. Her fearless style, attitude and iconic hair just slays our life. Who else can rock a bald cut like her? Yet, one thing people have debated over and over again is Amber’s heritage. Well, Rose set the record straight and gave us a look at her new glamorous hairdo! Read on because Amber Rose confirms ethnicity and rocks longer hair!

Amber Rose Confirms Ethnicity

We’ve always seen a gorgeous mixed race girl before our eyes. Body always on point and makeup looks from the cosmetic gods. Yet, for some fans knowing her exact ethnicity was of concern.

A quick google search and you can see just how popular the subject truly is among Muva’s tribe. Heated back and forths with some claiming Rose wasn’t even black. If you or your friends ever wondered about Rose’s genetics here it is straight from her mouth. She stated via Instagram,

“I’m Black/Portugeuse/ Irish and Italian. So now y’all can stop arguing in my f***in comments about it.”

We could of sworn she had already said this years ago. Nevertheless, Amber Rose confirms ethnicity for her fans and other inquiring minds even though she didn’t have to at all. That’s a real G who keeps it ninety-nine plus one.

That Hair Though

Amber… Girl you better work! Rose changed things up again and we love the new hairdo. She added length to her famous blonde locks and fashioned them into a chic vintage style.

Just weeks ago Amber stunned with a longer haircut. As much as we love Rose bald we do enjoy seeing her switch it up every now and then. Her hair was sculpted by the fab Tony Medina and her makeup was beat by Priscilla Ono.

Espys 2016 Couples Fashion Must See!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 13, 2016July 13, 2016Leave a Comment

When one person has an amazing fashion moment it’s noteworthy. However, when a couple can burn up the red carpet they basically become style legends! Tonight at the Espys it was a designer’s heaven among the booed up celebs. Therefore, here is our Espys 2016 Couples Fashion Must See!

Espys 2016 Couples Fashion Must See

It may be a night about sports but the Espys 2016 couture could not be ignored! We spotted The Wilsons and also The Currys serving up major squad goals on the red carpet. So then, let’s begin with those love birds first.

The Currys looked radiant and we loved that they didn’t do the whole, “Hey, we’re a couple so let’s basically wear the same thing!” They demonstrated their individual style and taste. For instance, Ayesha Curry stunned in a Theia Couture burgundy gown. She did a matchy-matchy makeup look bringing her lip color and dress into perfect harmony. Moreover, Steph Curry stepped out in a bold custom Alba suit. His blue coat had us feeling some type of way.

Furthermore, the couple as a whole chose shades that complimented their skin tone. It’s nice to see them taking risks and playing with color. It definitely paid off!

Oh snap, wait a minute! Is that The Wilsons we see all up in it? Russell Wilson and his spanking new wife Ciara looked fantastic!

Now for many months they have slayed one red carpet event after the other. Actually they have been killing it ever since they started dating. So then, we weren’t surprised to see them looking like a bag of money.

Ciara has been killing it in Roberto Cavalli so she was like, “Well, if it’s not broken.” CiCi wore another Roberto Cavalli design in an alluring pink shade. Russell attended the Espys 2016 event in a well-tailored Tom Ford Suit.

Black on Black

There were a few black on black fashion moments tonight. One actually happened during the show on stage. Carmelo Anthony, Lebron James, Chris Paul and Mr. Wade rocked head-to-toe noire ensembles. They were making a statement in regards to gun violence and their attire was very appropriate as well as fitting.

Nevertheless, since those handsome four guys aren’t together let’s get back to the couples. Gabrielle Union and her man Dwyane Wade hit the Espys 2016 carpet before the show. Wade shut it down in a blue with black trim Givenchy suit. Union went all black as she strutted her stuff in an August Getty Atelier gown.
