Solange Gets Married…&& Slays.



November 16, 2014

Image by Rog Walker

Congratulations are in order for Solange Knowles & Alan Ferguson who tied the knot this weekend in New Orleans.

From the pictures, it looks like the event was a very dapper affair. All guests were instructed to wear white, which made for a stunning visual.

Always one to eschew tradition, Solange and her video-director husband arrived to the ceremony on painted white bikes decorated with flowers. That ride would have been tough in a wedding dress but the singer had no problem by rocking an off-white Stephane Rolland jumpsuit with plunging neckline.

The couple looked just as stunning during the ceremony with the groom in a shades of white Lanvin tux and the bride in a custom design by her close friend Humberto Leon for Kenzo. Solange’s cape is just everything!

A perfect red lip and gold cuffs completed the ‘fit. (Curious to know what red lippie Solange was wearing!)

Vogue got the exclusive photos on the wedding and shared these words from Solange: “Everyone I worked with on the wedding are friends who I love,” said the bride via email earlier today. “Everything was a labor of love.”

Photographer Rog Walker captured the highlights of the day. From his portraits, it’s easy to see there was a lot of love to go around. The guests looked so chic in white and of course big sister Beyoncé and mom Tina Knowles were in attendance for the nuptials as well.

And that is how you slay at your wedding!

Cover Girl: Michelle Obama, Vogue April 2013.



March 15, 2013

Michelle Obama Vogue April 2013

Our First Lady, Michelle Obama has landed her second cover of Vogue. For round two she dons a blue shift dress by Reed Krakoff who has been one of her recent favorites. She wore custom looks by the designer for events during the President’s second inauguration. The FLOTUS wore pink Jason Wu for the first cover, another go-to designer for her. Shot by Annie Leibovitz, we see Michelle Obama with her newly cut bangs and frames her face with Kimberly McDonald earrings. The article spoke to how the First Family is leading by example and how the Obama’s are inspiring America.

The article penned by Jonathan Van Meter covers a variety of topics from the Obama’s parenting philosophy, details on the dynamic between Barack and Michelle, and  some of the issues facing the President. Considering that Michelle is on the cover and how her fashion choices have captured a nation, I was a little surprised to read the article and find the focus mainly on the President. Vogue is a fashion publication, that does expose readers to a diverse range of topics, but there were only a couple of sentences towards the end of the article on fashion as it relates to the First Lady. I will say that the part of the article that included Hillary Clinton threw me for a loop, not sure how that was related to Barack and Michelle. Overall, I enjoyed reading the article, I love seeing positive people take a prominent position in the world.

Can’t wait to see more from the spread. Michelle looks so sleek in the Michael Kors Pre-Fall sweater and skirt.

Apparently Barack Obama is a fan of the Black Eyed Peas. Annie Leibovitz played some tunes in the background during the photo shoot and commented that he loved their song “Where Is the Love?”. And shout out to the Vogue March cover girl Beyoncé, the President compliments his wife in a way that us young people can relate to: “Michelle’s like Beyoncé in that song,” says the president. “ ‘Let me upgrade ya!’ She upgraded me.”

Lala Vasquez vs. Beyonce in Tom Ford.



June 28, 2011

Here is the first edition of who wore it better. In this round we have Beyonce vs. Lala Vasquez.

Beyonce.

Lala Vasquez.

 

Both ladies are wearing a sequin dress from Tom Ford’s spring/summer 2011 collection.  The body-conscious dress hugs each lady’s curves. Beyonce wore hers down the runway for the debut collection for Tom Ford while Lala posed on the red carpet at the 2011 BET awards. Mrs. Anthony wore black strappy sandals with her dress. Bey’s was styled with black knee-high fishnets and open-toed pumps. I love how Lala’s hair is up in the cute knot, not really into Beyonce’s wild blonde curls.

 

Not much else to say…tell me what you think!

Cover Wars :: Beyonce vs. Christina Aguilera. ‘W’ July 2011.



June 18, 2011

Check out the double cover for the July issue of W. The magazine taps Beyonce and Christina Aguilera as the cover girls for this month’s annual “Music & Style” issue. Beyonce, who was styled by Alex white, wears Louis Vuitton well. I definitely love the monogram hat. Ricardo Tisci silk bra, Lorraine Schwartz earrings, and a David Yurman ring complete the look. Christina wanted to go for a more demure route, not sure how naked achieves that but…okay. She was styled by Giovanna Battaglia with hair done by Luigi Murenu for John Frieda, and makeup by Tom Pecheux for Estée Lauder.

Both ladies are gearing up for a comeback, with Beyonce’s new album due out soon (already leaked, google it) and with Christina hopefully returning to grace as a coach on the hit NBC television show The Voice. Which cover do you like better? Let me know in the comments!

Who Runs the World??



May 19, 2011

According to Beyonce, girls do. The details are in her latest song “Run the World (Girls)” from her upcoming album titled IV. When the song leaked the response was not overwhelming. Fans loved the new track but they seemed to be the only ones behind this new sound from Bey. If nothing else, the Mrs. Jay-Z does sport some great runway fashion. She wears a couple of Emilio Pucci dresses, Givenchy Couture, and some Alexander McQueen. Peep the video below, what do you think?

Click here for a great breakdown of all the looks worn by Beyonce in the video.
