Black Hairstyles: Jasmine Sanders Braided Bun for Cannes 2017 Film Festival

Braided Bun

Princess hair! Jasmine Sanders Braided Bun for the Cannes 2017 Film Festival is elegant, sleek and tantalizing sophisticated. If you are looking for formal hair inspiration you just found it!

Black Hairstyles: Jasmine Sanders Braided Bun for Cannes 2017 Film Festival

Jasmine Sanders aka Golden Barbie attended the ‘The Killing of a Sacred Deer” red carpet event. Her luxurious blue floor length gown is by designer Ulyana Sergeenko, who has been a very popular choice this year at Cannes.

Braided Bun

Sanders’ strands were pulled back into a beautiful braided bun. If recreating this look at home remember that the smoother you can get your hair in the front to lay, the more dramatic the braided chignon will look. Get tresses to submit by smoothing them with a pomade, gel (alcohol free) or edge control product. Next, spritz hairs with a light holding spray in order to make the hairstyle remain in place. Lastly, mist the style with a hair oil to give this hair look luminous sheen that will pop in any photo!

Beauty Notes: Jasmine’s hair is exquisite but we have to holler YASSS over her makeup look as well! L’Oreal makeup kindly shared the details on how Sanders look came together. The brand says that Jasmine’s makeup is all about keeping it natural. The “au natural” vibe is coming back en vogue in full force.

Therefore, to stay on trend for the season it is not about heavy contour. Just good old enhancement of your natural features. So want to give Jasmine’s look a spin? Here is the L’Oreal product cheat sheet!

  1. Color Riche Les Ombres in Marron Glace
  2. Lip Paint in Nudists – 209 – Nude on Fleek
  3. Brow Xpert
  4. Paradise Mascara

Ask and Tell : Alicia Keys Ulyana Sergeenko Jacket for The Voice Finale

Ulyana Sergeenko Jacket

The Item: The Ulyana Sergeenko Jacket worn by singer and television judge Alicia Keys during The Voice finale.

You asked: Not sure if you got my other message. There are two different things I am looking for. But the first one is a black jacket I saw on Alicia Keys. In the photo I saw it’s sleeves were BIG. Like eighties big and I love it! Who makes that? Thank you 1966!

Ask and Tell : Alicia Keys Ulyana Sergeenko Jacket for The Voice Finale

The Verdict: Thanks for writing us love and we know exactly what jacket you are talking about! The jacket made a big splash during the live finale of The Voice which is episode 1219A. Alicia pulls out all the stops in the episode by not just sitting in the judge’s chair, but also performing. She croons and belts out ‘Diamonds and Pearls’ with Chris Blue.

Nevertheless, Alicia’s fashion was as beautiful as her melodic voice. The very stylish jacket in question is a design by Ulyana Sergeenko. The black Ulyana Sergeenko jacket features an extremely sexy plunge neckline before it closes near the waistline. Moreover, as mentioned it also incorporates very dramatic sleeves as well as a peplum style fit. The cap sleeves help to make Alicia Key’s overall ensemble even more diva. While the peplum’s shape helps to balance the hips and create a very sleek and chic silhouette.

Ask and Tell: Model Winnie Harlow Wearing Alberta Ferretti Spring 2017

Alberta Ferretti Spring 2017

The Item: The skirt of Model Winnie Harlow Wearing Alberta Ferretti Spring 2017.

You Asked: Black girl magic is all over Cannes. I love Winnie Harlow’s purple skirt from Cannes. Was so pretty! Wondering how much something like that cost? I get my bonus soon haha

Ask and Tell: Model Winnie Harlow Wearing Alberta Ferretti Spring 2017

The Verdict: Purple reign… purple reign! Thanks for the question! Actually we have been majorly fan girling over Winnie’s high-end outfit as well. Every last garment Harlow has put on during her stint at the Cannes Film Festival has been a winner!

The purple and black look Winnie is rocking is from the Alberta Ferretti Spring 2017 RTW (Ready to Wear) collection. Winnie’s as well as the catwalk look worn by the model in the runway show is identical.

Alberta Ferretti Spring 2017

Nevertheless, the big question of the hour is how much does this stylish ensemble cost? To be honest for most adding this skirt to their closet is going to be quite the splurge. The Alberta Ferretti skirt retails for a whopping $1, 905. However, we are sure buying such a well-made luxury item will last you a very long time. So then, enjoy your purchase you can find it at Farfetch.

Nicki Minaj on The Ellen Show and She’s Paying More Tuitions!

Nicki Minaj on The Ellen Show

Are you a huge Nicki Minaj fan? Well, today your queen shall be gracing your television. Catch Nicki Minaj on The Ellen Show today to see her in all of her fabulousness and holding a giant butt check (we will explain that). Nevertheless, if you can’t get to a TV in time we have a quick recap of what is all going down. Here’s our warning now, especially all of you on the west coast: expect spoilers!

Nicki Minaj on The Ellen Show and She’s Paying More Tuitions!

Okay, so remember when Nicki was on Twitter paying tuitions? A very kind gesture that helped out a ton of hard-working students. Well it looks like Nicki is still inspired by her previous act of paying it forward.

On The Ellen Show Nicki Minaj continued sharing her generosity. Ellen via social media talked all about this stating,

“Did you see The Ellen Show today? So grateful for the donation she made via Shutterfly for more kids to go to college! 25 thousand dollars! Love her!

Nicki told me she wants to start a foundation to help pay for kids’ tuition. I can get behind that.”

Nicki Minaj on The Ellen Show

Isn’t all of this great ladies?! 2017 is proving to be the year of helping young people build confidence and succeed. From black women like Octavia Spencer buying out theaters so that youths and individuals in black communities could take in the inspiring story of Hidden Figures. To Beyonce starting a scholarship program. Stars are giving back today in order to help shape a better tomorrow. Thank you Nicki for your kindness and we hope to see this trend continue in the future!

Fashion Notes: Minaj is always looking like a high-end designer’s muse. Today she rocked a corset as well as jacket by Alexander McQueen. Vintage skirt by Jean Paul Gaultier and some bad muh- (shut yo mouth!) heels by Tom Ford.

Yara Shahidi Wearing Solace London Pre-Fall 2017 at ABC Upfronts

Solace London Pre-Fall 2017

If you were to look up the word stunning in the dictionary most likely you would see Yara Shahidi’s picture right next to the definition. The busy beauty is currently doing press at ABC Upfronts. Yara stepped out in chic ensemble from the Solace London Pre-Fall 2017 collection.

Moreover, at ABC Upfronts it was confirmed that Shahidi’s spin-off of the wildly successful Black-ish is a definite go. College-ish will premiere in early 2018 on Freeform network. So far at least 13 episodes are on deck to air.

Yara’s show takes it’s influence from the popular retro television series, A Different World which starred Zoe Kravitz’s mama Lisa Bonet. College-ish will follow Shahidi’s breakout character, Zoey Johnson as she goes to college and comes to the realization that not everything will be perfect. Especially, now that she’s left the nest.

Well College-ish certainly sounds like a show that no one will want to miss. Furthermore, Yara’s fashion seen today could not be missed either! She paired her stripped top from the Solace London Pre-Fall 2017 collection with black pants and strappy heels. From every angle Yara Shahidi was killing it.

Solace London Pre-Fall 2017

Actor Bernard David Jones got the chance to snap a quick pic with fashionable Yara. In reference to their moment together Jones said, “I had the great pleasure of spending time talking to this super cool, down to earth, talented and crazy intelligent beauty Yara Shahidi! She’s my channel mate! I can’t wait to see College-ish on ABC Freeform. [Wishing her] good luck at Harvard!”

Black Hairstyles: Keke Palmer Shaved Head Hairstyle -Ring the Alarm!

Keke Palmer Shaved Head

Amber Rose, Amandla Steinberg and now Miss Keke Palmer is joining the club! Keke Palmer hit up her social platforms and handed fans a complete and total shocker. All… hair… gone (in our Justin Timblerlake voice). With this newest sighting it is safe to say that the Keke Palmer shaved head hairstyle shows no signs of slowing down.

Black Hairstyles: Keke Palmer Shaved Head Hairstyle -Ring the Alarm!

There are certain celebrities who just rock short hair better than any other female on earth. We immediately think Halle Berry, Teyana Taylor, Maria Borges, Toni Braxton, India Westbrooks, Amilna Estevao, Slick Woods and Ysaunny Brito to name a few. Moreover, KeKe Palmer fits right in with that exclusive list of gorgeous, trendy women.

Keke Palmer first gave us Angela Bassett (shoot, she’s also on the list too honeys!) vibes when she originally cut her strands down to a crop cut. Now it looks like the actress and novel writer is going a step further. Palmer’s shaved head hairstyle is bold all on its own, but she incorporated yet another additional fiery touch.

Keke Palmer Shaved Head

Keke adds more edge to her style thanks to a fire engine red hair color. Which is why we are saying, “Ring the alarm Miss Palmer!” Her look is definitely fierce and boisterous as well as not for the faint of hair heart. Are you brave enough to try out the Keke Palmer shaved head hairstyle?

Fashionable Mention: Adam Selman The Fugitive Sunglasses on Erykah Badu

Adam Selman The Fugitive Sunglasses

No not the movie our loves! “The Fugitive” is a chic pair of sunnies that is making their way onto the faces of all the rich and fabulous. From singers to models they are all copping a pair faster than you can utter, “Say what?!” Therefore, today we are giving the Adam Selman The Fugitive Sunglasses a Fashionable Mention!

Fashionable Mention: Adam Selman The Fugitive Sunglasses

It is very difficult to make something look super modern without it being sort of corny or contrived. However, designer Adam Selman is having no problems giving his Adam Selman x Le Specs sunglasses collection some serious edginess. The Fugitive comes across as a design playing off the classic cat-eye shape, just slightly more exaggerated.

However, Adam’s ingenuity and aesthetic talents are no surprise to anyone. This is the very man responsible for Rihanna‘s iconic CFDA gown. Furthermore, if you are keeping up with Rih’s killer Cannes 2017 looks Selman is behind the dress she wore to the Chopard Space Party. Also, who of us can forget his show-stopper human bouquet look from his Fall 2017 fashion show? The man is a fresh breath of air in fashion and just gets it!

Adam Selman The Fugitive Sunglasses

Therefore, who all is giving the Adam Selman The Fugitive Sunglasses a spin? Too many starlets to count, but some of our favorites to rock the look include the one-of-a-kind Erykah Badu as well as model GiGi Hadid. Social “It Girl” Sophia Richie has also been spotted in The Fugitive. Therefore, it is obvious that this is great, trendy fashion accessory, but the question is would you wear these babies?

Hair of the Week: Skai Jackson-Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales Premiere

Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales

Long or short this doll can rock it all! Skai Jackson continues to kill the game in fashion, beauty and hair. This week she is taking home our trophy for Hair of the Week for her beyond chic hairstyle we spotted at the Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales premiere!

Hair of the Week: Skai Jackson-Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales Premiere

For the Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales premiere (whew, say that fives times fast) Skai Jackson wore a textured bob. Adding texture gives hair slightly more body and dimension. We are almost feeling like this hair look should be considered a lob, since it falls right at shoulder length. However, her amazing stylist says bob, so its a bob hunty! Skai Jackson’s cute hairstyle is a creation of Los Angeles hair stylist, Alexander Armand.

Nevertheless, the part of this particular style that we loved the most is her bang. The length was absolutely perfect. It wasn’t so short that it looked odd or so long that it looked uncomfortably resting in her eyes. It was just right and added a nice touch of panache to the overall look.

Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales

Fashion Notes: Did you think we were really going to leave you hanging on the fashion tip ladies? Skai’s dazzling printed floor length dress is by Alice + Olivia. At times, long dresses can really drown a petite girl. However, the tailoring on this dress ensures that Jackson isn’t “lost” in the design. She is wearing it, instead of it wearing her.

There is sketching, pulling fabrics, tons of sewing as well as fittings. Dior revealed a little BTS information about Rihanna’s Cannes Film Festival gown. The fashion house stated,

“Setting off a flashbulb frenzy, Rihanna arrives at the 70th annual Cannes Film Festival. Rocking that Dior by Maria Grazia Chiuri as only she knows how!
