Forget Cinderella, Jennifer Hudson didn’t even need a glass slipper to be considered the Belle of the Ball! Hudson was in attendance this week for the New York City Ballet Fall Gala and arrived in style with her date, designer Prabal Gurung. Now it just wouldn’t be fitting for a lady to attend such an event with an esteemed high fashion designer and not were one of his creations, correct? Well, not to worry Hudson was a stunning date and muse for the night.

Jennifer wore a gorgeous satin faced chiffon Atelier Prabal Gurung gown with hand embroidered crystals. If were Hudson and the clock struck twelve we would have had to take our chances with our car turning into a pumpkin because we would not have wanted the night to end and have to give back this dress! Is it not easy to see we have gorged ourselves on Disney films for many years (LOL)? We digress, but Jennifer Hudson did look like an absolute dream.

Prabal Gurung must of felt the same way because he had nothing but glowing remarks in regards to his pretty little date. On the gram Gurung posted a picture of him and Hudson with the caption,

“Her beauty radiates from within, you can’t help but stare and admire.”

Altogether everyone, “AWWWW!” The gala that Jennifer Hudson and Prabal Gurung attended was held at the David H. Koch theater at Lincoln Center in New York City. The decor was just as lush and classy as Hudson’s ensemble (see below). What a great night of beauty as well as fashion and we are still loving that short hair on Jennifer!

Streetstyle: Jada Pinkett Smith Shines at Paris Fashion Week

Arianne SuggsUpdated on October 1, 2015October 1, 2015Leave a Comment

We spotted stunning actress Jada Pinkett Smith enjoying several shows at Paris Fashion Week. Jada put an exclamation point on the phrase, “Age ain’t nothing but a number!” Smith was seen rocking not one but three ensembles with her killer physique.

We can’t decide which Fashion Week outfit worn by Jada that we love most. Jada wore a Guy Laroche Fall 2015 Black and Gold Panel Dress, a very Parisian ensemble with over-sized yellow coat to a Chloe show and got sassy in a revealing miniskirt as she attended the Balmain runway show. Smith demonstrated a great range of style that incorporated everything from dresses to pants.

It was a star studded event where modeling’s “It” girls all went to play! Among them was supermodel Jourdan Dunn who made mouths water with her black leather pants, crop top, boot heels and graphic print jacket. Dunn was attending a London Fashion Week party thrown by Love Magazine.

The Love Magazine event was held at Lulu’s Member’s Club on September 21, 2015. Cara Delevingne, Alexa Chung and One Direction’s Harry Styles were also spotted getting their fashion week party on at the event.

Nevertheless, photographers caught a not so fab moment when a friend of Dunn’s got into it with a member of the paparazzi.

Jourdan being a lady full of grace helped break up the commotion. Now that is the kind of friend that will always have your back! Are you enjoying our London Fashion Week coverage? Keep checking back for our future posts and highlights!

Fall 2015 Makeup: Very Red Lips

Arianne Suggs September 22, 2015September 22, 2015Leave a Comment

One trend that has seemed to be hot all year long has been red lip color. The sassy and bold tint has been seen everywhere from the red carpet to the runway. Therefore, if you are looking to be “in” for fall you may just need to shop your own makeup bag.

Red lip color was spotted on models at Bottega Veneta, Celine, Saint Laurent as well as Carolina Herrera to name a few. Deep red hues are gorgeous on brown skin, but if you would like to brighten things up then go for it! Red comes in several lovely shades so regardless how light or dark you want to go you will be able to find the perfect shade to fit your mood.

Moreover, the red lip color made for the Vanessa Seward show was also a stand out hue. While more shades of lip colors tend to come with moisturizers to add more shine sometimes a more matte shade can be just as dramatic. The matte lip color for Seward’s collection was gorgeous without needing any glistening effect. So then, if you prefer a more subdued red lip color look opt for a matte shade.

Arianne Suggs September 18, 2015September 18, 2015Leave a Comment

While all eyes have been on the amazing fashions coming down numerous runways we have still kept our peepers peeled for other trends as well. We took note of the fabulous hair that has been making its way to the front row. Celebrities play just as an important part as the models themselves when it comes to making a runway show successful. The more high profile persons you see camping out on the front row the hotter the designer must be and sought after.

Celebrities have been coming out to play in droves for New York Fashion Week making for a buffet of serious style. Therefore, what hairstyle trend have we seen to be a common denominator amongst the rich and fabulous? Leading ladies and music superstars have been indulging in the bob effect. These cuts are chic, very sassy and scream, “I am woman hear me roar!” Here are a few ladies we spotted:

Get the Look: Beyonce’s Laid Back Denim

Arianne Suggs September 17, 2015September 17, 2015Leave a Comment

When you are Beyonce you could literally throw on a paper sac and make a statement. Nevertheless, Beyonce still chooses to flex her style power whether on a red carpet, at a high profile gala or just relaxing on vacation. Overalls can be a cute denim choice but at times can be hard to pull off; especially, if you are past the tetherball and blacktop era.

We love how Queen Bey chose to make her overall look quite sassy. Bey left one strap undone and showed curves by pairing her overalls with a form-fitting tank top. Moveover, the overalls themselves added flair thanks to their distressed detailing. A few rips and shreds is all you need to take an ordinary, boring pair of jeans to another level.

Want Beyonce’s laid back denim ensemble? Keep scrolling to see how to pull this simplistic yet stylish look together.

Celebrities are known to change their look in order to stay relevant and trendy. If they fall behind in terms of image it could literally mean their career. When it comes to the entertainment industry even a celebrity’s hair has to be more on point then a number 2 pencil.

Throughout her career Christina Milian has been a chameleon of hair design. Especially, when it comes to showing us all a thing or two when it comes to wearing hair color like a queen. If you are needing some hair color inspiration Milian’s numerous past styles are sure to give you some ideas!

Arianne Suggs September 9, 2015September 9, 2015Leave a Comment

Rihanna could sport Coca Cola bottles on her feet and would still make the fashion world swoon. There is just something about Rihanna’s care-free style that is alluring and irresistible. So far this week Rihanna has rocked a couple looks that made us go, “Must Have That!” If you are a shoe-a-holic like us then from the above and following photos you already know what item we need in our closets.

Just look at those strappy beauties that look prime to bring any guy to his knees! Rihanna’s DSquared2 Spring 2016 Black Strappy Thigh High Sandals is great for showing off nicely toned gams and pairs well with dresses, skirts and rompers. Rihanna was spotted in her thigh high lace up sandals while out on the town enjoying dinner with Travis Scott after his sold out show. She chose to pair hers with a fashionable LBD and simplistic accessories.

Want to get on the same level as Rihanna’s shoe game? Head on over to to the interwebs and get yourself a pair of these:

For us Californians we are loving this look because the weather is going to hold strong a little longer than other regions. Therefore, this shoe is great even during fall months when its time to spice things up. Here are a few more images of Rihanna working like rent is due in her sassy heels.
