Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 23, 2017May 23, 2017Leave a Comment

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.”

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.

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.

Actor Bernard David Jones got the chance to snap a quick pic with fashionable Yara.

Fashion Obsession: Milano di Rouge Taylor Swimsuit

Arianne Suggs May 22, 2017May 22, 2017Leave a Comment

HAWT! Raise your hand if you are in need of some swimwear sure to bring onlookers to their knees? Fashion Brand Milano di Rouge is bringing the heat and sexy back for the summer season. Their Milano di Rouge Taylor Swimsuit is one seductive masterpiece!

Fashion Obsession: Milano di Rouge Taylor Swimsuit

Why do we love the Taylor swimsuit? For one, sometimes its just nice to switch the swimwear game up. In a world full of barely there two pieces, its a welcome departure to find an one piece that is just as alluring.

Also, the color palette for this particular garment works on all skin tones. No more wondering if a certain color will wash you out in photos or cause you to look like a humongous color bomb coming towards people.

Milan di Rouge’s swimsuit is a simple monochromatic design with white striping that cinches in at the waist. This is great because not only is the color black already slimming, but the suits design layout will make your waist appear smaller. Score! Furthermore, the tones black and white will always be a classic pairing that easily looks upscale, modern and voguish.

One last plus is that this suit can also do double duty. For a bit now bodysuits have been a big fashion trend. The “Taylor” although designed as swimwear can easily be worn like a bodysuit with shorts or pants and no one would be the wiser. For instance, artist New York Taylorr hit us with an one-two style punch pairing the Milano di Rouge Taylor Swimsuit with distressed denim pants. She accessorized her look with racy, ankle strap heels and a stunning jeweled choker. This definitely what we call “a look.”

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 20, 2017May 20, 2017Leave a Comment

Our obsession with fashion company, Matte Brand just deepened! The fashion label is now taking their voguish eye-popping designs and entering a new division. Matte Brand just announced that now you can purchase stylish denim clothing. We got the inside scoop and first look at the Matte Brand Matte Denim line and ad campaign!

Fashionable Mention: Matte Brand Matte Denim is Here in for Summer!

Denim is basically one of the hottest trends of 2017. Everyone and their mama as well as their mama’s stylist is wearing jean ensembles. Rihanna, Justine Skye, Ryan Destiny and Kelly Rowland have all rocked denim looks to die for. So then, it makes sense that brands are catering and producing garments to feed into this trend. Regarding the Matte Brand Matte Denim release, CEO Briana Shanee Wilson states,

“Matte Denim is here. Thank you so much for the support, it means so much to me that ladies actually wait for my releases and are as excited about my clothes as I am!

Fashionable Mention: Adam Selman The Fugitive Sunglasses on Erykah Badu

Arianne Suggs May 20, 2017May 20, 2017Leave a Comment

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!

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?

It’s Finally Here! Check Out the Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival Reveal

Arianne Suggs May 19, 2017May 19, 2017Leave a Comment

We have all waited patiently and the moment is finally here! Luxury jewelry and accessories label Chopard promised that RiRi’s collaborative collection would finally make its big debut at one of the biggest film festivals in the world. As a result, we are excited to say… They delivered! We have your first look at The Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival Reveal!

It’s Here! The Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival Reveal

She just can’t slay us like this! Rihanna’s Chopard collection is voguish and oozing with glamour. The imagery captured for the collection which is now on display is sophisticated and high-end. Fashioned in a very simple side profile pose, Fenty showcases a few of her magnificent pieces.

Probably the most recognizable piece is the Rihanna Loves Chopard Chandelier Earrings. These dazzling couture adornments shine bright with jewel encrusted florals and butterflies beaming of boisterous, vibrant hues. The overall look is reminiscent of spring and all of its blossoming flowers.

All year long Rihanna has been blessing us with previews of her collection. For instance at the 2016 Grammy Awards Rih hit the red carpet in her chandelier earrings. Moreover, more recently there was a spotting during the 2017 Met Gala. Of course, it was hard for anyone to take their eyes off of Rihanna’s Comme des Garcons garb as well as HOT Dsquared sandals. However, if you looked past all that fabulousness you may have gazed upon a few more pieces from the Rihanna Loves Chopard collection. Well played RiRi!

The Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival Dinner

The queen of slay continues to set the level high for trends. Rihanna stunned in a gorgeous noire gown by Ralph and Russo. Her amazing stylist, Mel Ottenberg, finished her ensemble with a matching clutch handbag by Roger Vivier and of course, Chopard jewelry.

We love how Rih used her beauty accessories to add a pop of color to her luxurious look. On her nails and lips we spy a rouge infusion. The color red denotes sass, allurement, sex appeal and love. All terms that perfectly reflect Rihanna as well as her collection.

Rihanna’s hair for the dinner is textbook. When wearing such a structural, statement piece hair should be kept simple in order not to distract. Our Badgal’s tresses were pulled back into a sleek chignon with deep middle part for extra drama.

Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival- Play Time!

“Playing around in my Rihanna Loves Chopard Collection!” That was Rihanna’s excited announcement on social during her Chopard festivities. Miss Fenty modeled several luxe jewelry pieces from her collection, each making her “shine bright like a diamond.”

Rihanna also took a moment to thank Chopard for the collaboration. She states,

“Thank you to the wonderful Caroline Scheufele for such an unbelievable opportunity to create high end jewelry for the first time in my career. Had a blast tonight at the official launch for our collaboration! RiRi Loves Chopard!”

Congratulations to Rihanna and Chopard on a lovely collaboration and collection. Furthermore, we can’t wait to see what Rihanna designs next!

Ask and Tell: Karrueche Attends Turner UpFront for New TNT Show ‘Claws’

Arianne Suggs May 18, 2017May 18, 2017Leave a Comment

Item: Karrueche‘s glamorous belted look seen as Karrueche Attends Turner UpFront for New TNT Show ‘Claws.’

You Asked: Hey I’ve been really trying to change up my style because I want to be a model one day. And I really like Karrueche’s dress from today. Do you guys know who makes it?

Ask and Tell: Karrueche Attends Turner UpFront for New TNT Show ‘Claws’

The Verdict: We really like Karrueche’s OOTD too! The off the shoulder trend is still red hot so Miss Tran is flexing her “It Girl” style status. Her dress is actually not a dress at all. Karrueche’s awesome stylist, Byron Javor revealed that it is a chic jacket by Fendi. Javor simply converted the jacket into a dress that effortlessly fits Tran’s petite and toned frame.

Furthermore, in order to not get lost in the jacket Karrueche belted her ensemble. Her belt is a design by BCBGMAXAZRIA which matched her Fendi jacket’s pockets. Her black belt not only helps to bring her look together with cohesion, but also aids in enhancing Karrueche’s waistline. Belts are an excellent and simple accessory to utilize in order to create an hourglass figure even when wearing bulky garments.

Nevertheless, no outfit is complete without a bomb pair of heels. Tran’s cute ankle strap heels are a sexy design by luxury shoe designer, Giuseppe Zanotti. Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

Naomie Harris Attends Cannes 2017 Wearing Gucci Fall 2016

Arianne May 17, 2017May 17, 2017Leave a Comment

Film Festivals are where the best of the best showcase their amazing works as well as make a fashion statement. We have come across several eye-catching style moments, yet one actress hit the red carpet in one vibrant ensemble. Any guesses? Yup, Naomie Harris Attends Cannes 2017 Wearing Gucci Fall 2016. What’s “old” can still be classic!

Naomie Harris Attends Cannes 2017 Wearing Gucci Fall 2016

In girl world there are two things that are usually considered to be fashion suicide. one is repeating an outfit too soon in the cycle. The other is rocking something considered to be “so last week.”

Nevertheless, Harris proves that you can still look fab in something from a past season with it feeling fresh and new. Actress Naomie Harris is currently attending the 2017 Cannes Film Festival for her latest film, Ismael’s Ghost. For her big Cannes 2017 red carpet moment she wore a gown from the Gucci Fall 2016 collection.

Her take on the Gucci ensemble is different from the original design seen coming down the Gucci catwalk. Long gone is the one shoulder floral top. Naomie replaced it with a spaghetti strap bodice in matching striped colors. This change gave her OOTD more of a spring and summery vibe.

The last component of Naomie Harris’ Cannes outfit were accessories. She paired her bold gown with a beautiful, delicate necklace from Atelier Swarovski. A nice touch that grabs a little spotlight while keeping attention on the main garment.
