Serayah McNeill In Alice + Olivia – Build Series

Best known for break out role as Tiana Brown in the hit series ‘Empire’, Serayah McNeill is not only a talented, beautiful and intelligent actress, but also an accomplished singer.

On Monday (July 10) she took to the BUILD stage to chat about her new single, ‘So Good.’

If spending hours rummaging the rails for vintage finds isn’t quite your style, this ’70s inspired Alice + Olivia ‘Kylie’ patchwork jacket is your fast-track to bohemian-enthused separates.

I love how Serayah brings the look right up-to-date with her Prince of Wales check cropped trousers and splashes of red, which included Stella Luna’s ‘Cigarette’ ankle boots.

2018 BET Awards Red Carpet Roundup

The BET Awards is always likely to showcase some unique looks.  This host of gorgeous girls, who joined Janelle Monae and Storm Reid, didn’t let us down at Sunday’s event.

Serayah McNeill: I love this gold lame Alice McCall Fall 2018 ‘Le Petite’ top paired with ‘The Future Is Female’ skirt, mostly for the sculptural skirt. Where Serayah lost me was trying to match her hair colour to the outfit. Established Jewelry, EFFY Jewelry, Graziela Gems and Sara Weinstock jewels completed her look, along with Giuseppe Zanotti sandals.

Ashanti: I’ve always admired Ashanti of not playing it safe, but this Annakiki Fall 2018 look would’ve worked better for me if it was another colour, another fabric and just an inch or two longer. This piece was actually presented with a pencil skirt on the runway, but that would’ve been overkill here.

Daily Front Row’s 4th Annual Fashion Awards

The Daily Front Row’s 4th Annual Fashion Awards on Sunday (April 8) in Beverly Hills, California, was filled with stylish attendees. They joined Leona Lewis.

Emily Ratajkowski: The model typically gravitates towards sexy, revealing pieces so this pale yellow Jacquemus Fall 2018 gown was a change of pace. It still had alluring sensuality from the deep V-neckline, but there’s a vintage sentiment from the gathers and tie waist. The oversized green earrings enliven the earthy colour palette.

Charlie Plummer: The ‘All the Money in the World’ actor was suited and booted in Dior Homme. With the striking red colour and slim silhouette, it was clean, crisp and very modern. The black boots accented the details in the jacket.

Nicole Richie: Looking pretty in pink, the ‘Great News’ actress donned a Juicy Couture Fall 2018 ensemble. I was enamored with the way the patterned maxi had a bohemian feel but the gathered neckline and sleeves added romance. I’m sure many will be surprised this look is from the designer.

Dior Addict Lacquer Plump Launch with Bella Hadid

Dior darlings were out in force to kiss and tell at the Dior Addict Lacquer Plump Launch with Bella Hadid on Wednesday (March 14) in LA.

Bella Hadid: The host and girl of the hour threw it back to the ’60s in this Dior blue patchwork denim coat with a white shrunken shirt and matching, cropped jeans. I love how she fully embraced the retro-mod aura with her winged eyeliner and blush-nude pout.

Paris Jackson: Speaking of a mod, swooped cat eye, Paris was also rocking one with her Dior yellow ‘Positive’ Niki de Saint Phalle Dragon-embroidered jumper styled with high-waist, wide-legged denim that was accented by decorative metal rings. ‘Walk’N’Dior’ shoes, a black ‘J’adior’ bag, Djula diamond hoop earrings, Spallanzani bracelets, and diamond rings from Hearts on Fire all accessorised her free-spirited look.

Natalia Dyer: When it comes to throwback vibes, the ‘Stranger Things’ starlet had a true ‘Pretty in Pink’ moment with this Dior pink and black striped bodysuit worn with a pink lace pleated skirt. When styled with her wispy updo and a black Dior ‘Addict’ bag, this look had me charmed with its sweet and sassy sides.

Serayah McNeill In Tommy Hilfiger – 2018 iHeartRadio Music Awards

Serayah McNeill went hell for leather for the 2018 iHeartRadio Music Awards on Sunday (March 11) in Inglewood, California.

The ‘Empire’ actress didn’t go the predictable mini or slashed-to-the hipbone route, instead she opted for a full Tommy Hilfiger Spring 2018 leather look.

Now, this might not be to everyone liking, but this look gave me all the feels.

It reminded me of my first fashion show back in 1995 when Tommy Hilfiger hosted a show at Macys Herald Square.

At the end Aaliyah closed the show, much to everyone excitement, and this look is SO Aaliyah, so I’m enjoying this as a homage to the late singer.

The CFDA, WWD & Variety Celebrate Runway To Red Carpet Initiative

To celebrate the inaugural launch of the Runway to Red Carpet initiative, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), Variety and Women’s Wear Daily (WWD) hosted a star-studded luncheon on Tuesday (February 20) at the Chateau Marmont, which was sponsored by Karma Automotive.

A range of starlets were in attendance. However, if you had just looked at their ensembles, you’d never know they were at the same event—so diverse were their modes of dress.

Olivia Munn: I like the sunny outlook of this Veronica Beard Spring 2018 warm-weather-ready suit set, with the drawstring detailing adding an element of feminine allure. Obviously, the shorts didn’t stand up so well to the creases from sitting.

Lea Michele: Opting for a more romantically feminine offering, Lea wore a Zuhair Murad floral gown with a ruffled peplum. I can imagine this dress looked very pretty in the garden outside.

January Jones: I appreciate the directional, urban-forward mood the actress was setting with this Off-White Resort 2018 look—complete with that slick-back ponytail. However, I know the deconstructed, pinstripe skirt will have many saying it looks as if she wrapped a bolt of men’s shirting material around her waist.

Harper’s BAZAAR CDGA Celebration

Harper’s BAZAAR and the CDG celebrated the top costume designers and nominees of the 20th CDGA with an event on Saturday (February 17) in West Hollywood, California

Serayah McNeill: This highlighter-yellow Alexandre Vauthier fitted mini dress may not have been anything new, but it fit her to a T and the colour was a bright revelation—plus the drape at the front added more sultry appeal. Giuseppe Zanotti gold sandals rounded out her look.

Laura Marano: The beauty of this Tadashi Shoji Spring 2018 design was in its colouful floral embroidery, to which the sheer elements offered just an elegant hint at peek-a-boo allure. A Tadashi Shoji ‘Charlotte’ clutch completed the look.

Hong Chau: Personalized and progressive, Hong edged up her frothy baby-blue Adeam dress with an Adeam Spring 2018 metallic embossed jacket.
