Jada Pinkett Has a Versace Moment in Amsterdam

Arianne Suggs July 3, 2015July 3, 2015Leave a Comment

We have said it before and we will say it again, this woman is giving us life! The Magic Mike XXL tour rolls on and at its recent destination Jada Pinkett once more stole the red carpet show! Jada has been an absolute gem in every city the Magic Mike crew has touched down in to promote the film.

Pinkett hit the red carpet premiere in Amsterdam in an ombre Versace gown with sheer details. Like at previous premieres, Jada finished dolling up her look with jewelry by Monica Vinader.

The whole squad still looking good too!

Hair Notes: Who says women with short hair do not have options? Jada has been working her short cut like rent is due! We love the style variation with tresses pulled back off the face to the side with wispy strands floating free. The overall result is flirtatious, sophisticated and very polished.

Look of the Week: Naomie Harris Attends NSPCC Neo-Romantic Art Gala

Arianne Suggs July 3, 2015July 3, 2015Leave a Comment

How does a Bond girl choose to dress for a red carpet event? Well, Harris…Naomie Harris (yeah, you like what we did there) chooses to stay ahead of the fashionistas and wear fashions not from 2015 but 2016. Harris made jaws drop in a creation from Mugler Resort 2016 collection. The floor length bi-color macramé dress wasn’t without it’s allure. The gown possessed a high side split revealing Naomie’s super toned gams.

Harris wore the Mugler design this week when she attended the NSPCC Neo-Romantic Art Gala. The gala was held at the Masterpiece London on June 30, 2015 in London, England. Naomie kept accessories to minimum choosing to tote a clutch and strut in black ankle strap heels.

Nevertheless, it seems like Naomie is enjoying the fashions of 2016 because this isn’t the only time she has recently sported future couture. At the Walkabout Foundation Inaugural Gala Harris floated down the red carpet in a dress from the Tory Burch Resort 2016 collection.

Style Ambassador: What is True Beauty?

Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 17, 2022July 3, 2015Leave a Comment

Our lovely Style Ambassador Carlifonia has been sharing her insights on fashion, life and how to be truly confident. Beauty is defined as “the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.), a meaningful design or pattern, or something else (as a personality in which high spiritual qualities are manifest). Nevertheless, due to the expanse of what beauty can truly mean from person to person there are numerous viewpoints on how to be beautiful.

Here is our SA’s personal definition:

“True beauty comes from the heart, not from the mirror. Aim to change the way you see yourself, not how you look [physically] then you will be beautiful! Remember the inside beauty is the reflection of the outside beauty.”

Well put Carlifonia and as always here is some more of her awesome streetstyle! This week she plays up her fun side with a chic printed pant, chain necklace and black top. See more of Carlifonia’s awesome style by following her on instagram @carlifonia_a.

Spotted: Beyonce in NYC Getting Her MAC On!

Arianne Suggs July 2, 2015July 2, 2015Leave a Comment

Yesterday evening the one and only Queen Bey was spotted walking the streets of New York City in head-to-toe black. She looked chic in an asymmetrical cut-out dress, pointed toe heels and leather jacket. As we mentioned in a post last year wear your jackets like a cardigan to up the style factor. Come on, no diva or fashionista really needs to put her arms through sleeves anymore! That’s like SO 2013 (LOL) we have progressed people! (HaHa).

Let’s move down to the feet area for just a moment. Bey accessorized her ensemble with an ankle bracelet, that was not over-powering but enough to make a delicate statement. Ankle bracelets are trending and be sure to look out for our future post of some of our current favorite styles!

Nevertheless, didn’t we say that Beyonce was getting her MAC on? Well, she definitely was showing why she is a boss lady and say it with us… HUSTLER, by toting a silver Apple Macbook. We are sure that Apple is salivating over these shots as her legions of fans are probably currently burning their PCs in order to make the switch. Okay, you know our humor none of the sort is happening or maybe it’s just cool to see celebrities using the same products that we do!

Hey question! What do you think of Bey’s look, loving or hating? Let us know…

Fashionable Mention: Chanel Pre-Fall 2015 Floral Cardigan

Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 2, 2015July 2, 2015Leave a Comment

In the realm of fashion usually when florals rear their couture heads is during the spring season. Spring is the time when every garden is an Eden and designers use this natural occurrence as inspiration. Nevertheless, the Chanel fashion house has never been one to follow the mold and for their Pre-Fall collection are throwing out the conventional point of view.

One piece of the collection that really stood out to us was a floral cardigan that seems to invoke royalty and splendor. The detailing is simply exquisite as well as intricate due to its crystal floral embroideries and appliqués. Truly fit for a queen and shows that it is absolutely okay to bend the rules of fashion. Just because a particular season comes to end, does not indicate that the trends should as well.
