Braids, braids and yes lawd more braids! What we adore most about the VVV Magazine September Issue Featuring Karreuche Tran is all of the numerous fun, braided hairstyles. The editorial showcases 90s meets now funky trends.

We felt a channeling of Left Eye from TLC meets FKA Twigs within the hair force. Each hair look is edgy, sleek and bold. If you have a go big or go home attitude then these styles will definitely suit and fit your hairstyle persona.

How did you spend your Labor Day Weekend? Nicki Minaj chose to heat things up in Sin City. The sassy hip hop artist was spotted in Las Vegas in sexy designer duds. Scroll on dolls, we breakdown Nicki Minaj in La Perla Neoprene Desire Jumpsuit and the rest of her hot OOTD!

Spotted: Nicki Minaj in La Perla Neoprene Desire Jumpsuit

Okay Nicki baby we see you girl! Miss Minaj posed it out for the cameras in a La Perla Neoprene Desire Jumpsuit which retails for $3,844. The detailing of the jumpsuit showed off Nicki’s sought after physique and cough, girls (LOL).

The cute jumpsuit also includes cut-outs that trace the shapely outline of the lady wearing it. We love this aspect because it gives the illusion of a smaller form. Therefore, if you are packing like a girl from a Sir Mix A Lot music video then this fashion will give you a more slimming effect instantly. It is just like if you were to wear stripes vertically instead of horizontally. Here’s a closer look at her La Perla jumpsuit:

The lingerie inspired trend continues to gain speed among the rich and famous. You may be reminded of Amber Rose’s Tom Ford slash La Perla VMAs look. Nevertheless, we digress.

Minaj finished off her ensemble with nude tinted heels and a Chanel handbag. Her jewelry stayed within the gold family. Accessories included a watch, rings and chain link bracelet.

Hair Notes: Nicki Minaj rocked some serious hair down-to-there with her La Perla Neoprene Desire Jumpsuit. Moreover, she kept her tresses straight and sleek. The overall combination reads seductive and foxy chic.

A tattoo artist revealed that Rihanna and Drake officially were rocking matching ink. Nevertheless, now it looks as though Rihanna is using fashion to showcase her feelings. A coat in the shape of a heart, altogether now, “Awww!”

Rihanna Slays YSL Heart Shaped Fur Coat

We are constantly asked just how much celebs spend on their wardrobe. In this case Rihanna’s look was over $15,000! Rihanna’s now infamous YSL red fox heart shaped coat retails for $15k.

Dropping down to her sassy RiRi heels we have to tack on some more Benjamins. Rih’s Dsquared Fall 2015 ‘RiRi’ black leather strappy sandals are just sigh of 1k. Get your hands on a pair for $965.

It’s not easy work looking like a diva day in and day out. Moreover, it takes a nice size wallet to get fun designer duds. Nevertheless, what do you think of Rihanna’s NYC streetstyle look?

Arianne SuggsUpdated on August 25, 2016August 25, 2016Leave a Comment

Let’s take a quick trip down fashion memory lane. Do you recall when Rihanna showed up to the 2015 Grammys? The stylish vixen came looking like a three tier Barbie cake. RiRi has always had love for the color pink and if you don’t believe check this out. So then, we decided to find her a new ultimate pink dress and we succeeded! We found Rihanna a new pink dress by Ralph and Russo.

We Found Rihanna a New Pink Dress

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.
