Janelle Monáe never seems to disappoint. From fashion to music she defies the "norm" and stays true to herself. If she hasn't already received enough love she definitely has been and will be receiving more after her amazing performance on NBC’sToday.

Yes you've read right, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams has made history. She is now the first woman to appear on the cover of Krave magazine; the first in the history of the fashion magazine. Williams, who isn't shy about showing off her curves, looks absolutely stunning.

She's come a ways from her young, dingy days as RHOA newbie. As we all know she is on Dish Nation and just last year released a song title "Flatline." In case you didn't know about "Flatline" check out the video below.

So excited to be the FIRST WOMAN ever to grace the *FRONT COVER of KRAVE – the Hot Issue will be on stands mid-August” Photographer: @iamjamesanthony GLAM:@cuzkia_saidso @latashawright #kravemykover #bodiedbyporsha #ThickFit Hair: @GoNakedHair #

Photo from Tyra Banks Instagram
Supermodel Tyra Banks posted a picture to Instagram after rolling out of bed; raw, untouched, no filters, no make-up, no nothing! Fans showed their approval with over 125,000 likes. Talk about a strong following. For an iconic supermodel who has an elite beauty squad and her own makeup line, Tyra is always genuine and real (it is a known fact that she shops at Targét like errbody else).
“You know how people say#nofilter but you know there’s a freakin’ filter on their pic? Or maybe there’s a smidge of retouching going on but they’re lying and saying it’s all raw & real? Well, this morn, I decided to give you a taste of the really real me. I wanted to smooth out my dark circles so badly!!! But I was like, ‘Naw, Ty. Show ‘em the REAL you.’ So…here I am. Raw. And there YOU are…looking at me, studying this picture. Maybe you’re thinking, ‘Whoa, she looks ROUGH.’ And if you are, great! You deserve to see the REAL me. The REALLY real me. #RawAndReal”

Safaree is STILL Talking About Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj at the 2015 Grammy Awards
Safaree Samuels, Nicki Minaj's ex and now rapper, has once again addressed their breakup - only this time through song. First he went to The Breakfast Club, then there was social media rants, and now there's "Love the Most." He shared his feelings of always being in the background and never the forefront when it came to their relationship being known. Obviously he's hurt and dare I say it, not over Nicki, but it is time to move on. Time to allow yourself to grow and heal and do other things.
Nicki, who is involved and recently revealed in love with Meek Mill, has brushed her hands of that relationship and going back and forth with explaining. In a very cool and calm manner (it seems) she addressed "the diss" record via Twitter. "Don't make me do this," she started following with an implication that the reason for their breakup was infidelity. "Lesson: don't cheat on a loyal woman. God will punish u. When he does, tell people the truth. The truth may set u free. Love. Always." Most of the tweets have been deleted, but you know people are pro at screen-shotting.

“Summer nights are my favorite, when the sky is clear and the stars are most prominent. The [Soul of Summer Collection] is all about the essence of summertime — having fun, being free and being one with the elements.” - Jhené Aiko
Jhené Aiko takes a stab at fashion. Aiko teamed up with Neff for her summer inspired collection the 'Soul of Summer.' She helped design graphic tees, tanks, dresses, and more for everyday wear.

Although the collection will be composed of just 11 pieces, the retail prices are pretty affordable ranging from $22.50 to $60.

The 'Soul of Summer' collection will be sold in  PacSun stores and online later this month. Take a look as she shares with Nylon.

The Brothers of 'Empire' Take Over Essence Covers

5/27/2015

0 Comments

 
As summer approaches Essence is heating up its covers starting with the Vacation Issue that features none other than the Lyon Brothers of "Empire." Every since the debut of the show, we just can't get enough of these guys! Trai Byers, Jussie Smollett and Bryshere Gray have been everywhere from talk shows, news shows, radio and magazines. YASSS give us out dosage!

For those random few who have no idea who these brothers are, let me briefly school you. Empire is a drama/soap opera that centers around a music and entertainment company ran by a family, The Lyons. Of course like any other family the Lyons has their share of drama. Trai plays eldest son Andre who his educated, suffers from a disorder (watch it, I'm trying not to give too much away), and wants to head the company. Jussie plays the middle child and black sheep of the family Jamal. He's the very talented singer/songwriter of the family who has close ties with his brother Hakeem and has his own style of music. Did I forget to mention he's gay? Then last but not least there's Bryshere aka Hakeem. He's the baby boy of the family, fame-crazed and playboy status if you will, but he is the next big hip-hop star on the rise.

Now that you're all caught up just take in all of the hotness! I've already gotten my issues featuring the Lyon's, how about you?


*This isn't a paid promotion of any sort by Essence or any of its affiliates. I happen to be a for real fan.

Rihanna: First Black Model For Dior

5/14/2015

0 Comments

 
Rihanna has an unmatched fashion influence that has been recognized by many. She’s a CFDA Fashion Icon winner and currently the creative director at Puma pushing athleisure. She stuns, shocks, and stylishly slays red carpets every time she steps foot on one. Her latest fashion venture, being the face of Dior’s film and print Secret Garden series, is definitely one to talk about. 

In the above slideshow are first looks at the Dior campaign starring Rihanna. It's pretty historic, she is the first black spokesperson in Dior’s nearly 70 year history. “It feels fantastic,” she told MTV, “It is such a big deal for me, for my culture, for a lot of young girls of any color. I think, to be acknowledged by Dior is just… it means a lot as a woman to feel beautiful, and elegant, and timeless.”
