CFDA Awards 2015 Fashion

First up, Cookie! Miss Taraji was pure fire. I love the colour, it screams regal. I wish the middle was a little more pulled in to accentuate her shape, but gorgeous in Vera Wang, still.

When Riri got honoured last year she wore history, basically. Pharrell wore this. So Uhmmm, yeah.

Tracy Reese in Tracy Reese.

Victoria Beckham in her own collection. Is it gorgeous? Absolutely. But we've seen this. Time for her to reinvent herself again, 

Nina Dobrev was gorge in Lela Rose. I'm in love with the skirt of it. Her hair and makeup look great. A really pretty look overall. 

In keeping with pretty hair and makeup, Vanessa Hudgens was gorgeous. I liked this a lot but because of her tiny frame I think it was a little overwhelming. But one of her best to date.  

Speaking of best, Tinashe went for one of my fave brands, Public School but this what you wear to the VMAs or BETs nto the CFDAs. But an improvement none the less. Side note: she should get Zendaya's stylist or Zoe K's.

Chrissy Wardrobe Malfunction Teigen looked stunning. This lady hardly gets it wrong and this goes to prove how much range she has. Well done. 

Somebody looks like they finna hit the club. The top is actually quite pretty and interesting but this is underwhelming and inappropriate. Better luck next time, Miss Jones.

The gorgeous but underwhelmingly dressed Emmy Rossum. I know this is gorge beyond but I want serious headpiece and long train drama and this isn't it.

Somebody who I think was second Best Dressed last year is Coco Rocha but this year she let me down. Yes the dress and lip colour are amazing but the shape of the dress is soo Debbie Downer. But you're still a stunner, girl.

Urghhh. REALLY? Hot as she is, this is just off. Sorry, Miss Smalls. 

Katie Holmes in Ralph Lauren. 

Alicia Quarles in Kim Mesches. 

Hello, Miss Kelly! I love the boxy top and fitted bottom. Simple but it works. 

Karlie Kloss in DVF.

Fashion Superwoman, Diane Kruger and Jhene Aiko in Probal Gurung. Diane slays as usual. 

Kim Kardashian West and Kanye. Congradulations on the bambino! Kim wore Proenza Schoeler. 

My Best Dressed goes to Gigi Hadid in Micheal Kors. By now you know that I'm a jumpsuit junkie, and I feel that this perf. It not too dressy but doesn't let down on the casual chic side. Total Bombshell. 

Introducing Caitlyn Jenner

This is probably going to be one of the biggest stories this year and that just might be an understatement. Formerly known as Bruce Jenner, Caitlyn Jenner made her debut and what a way to do it. VANITY FAIR, BABY! And I must say, a job done well. We'll indeed. The jokes that the Kardashian girls about stealing glam squads and what not may not be so funny now coz Cat cleans up real nice!

Firstly, can we have a moment for that hair?! I mean really, Bombshell? The photography is on point (obvs coz I mean, Annie Leibovitz, duh?!) and so is the wardrobe.

Caitlyn has said that once this hits stands she'll be free.

The cover hits stands on the 9th of June and she will be receiving a well deserved Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs and I'm anticipating a gorgeous red carpet moment. This will have to tide me over till then

With love and gratitude,

Nicki Minaj: Cosmopolitan Cover

Over in America the sun is shining and the fourth of July celebrations are around the corner and to top it all off they get blessed with the July issue of  Cosmopolitan and man does she look amazing.

She talks about pretty much everything; her past, her present and future.

Although it was cute to hear talk about wanting to be a mother, what I took from it was this: "Women are uncomfortable talking about money. I know it's taboo to discuss it at work. Technically, you shouldn't, but you need to know what people around you are making. Otherwise, you're not going to know what you're worth. You have to ask questions. 'What is this person getting?' Do your research. I've always been pretty competitive in terms of my pay."

Enough talking here are the gorge pics(courtesy of Cosmopolitan):

Feeling Myself!

The wait is over! Sort of. Those who are members of Tidal get to enjoy the long awaited video for Nicki Minaj's "Feeling Myself" featuring king Bee of course. To help ease the #FOMO I've compiled some of the moments from the super fun video.

Ladies and gentlemen, please get yourselves ready for the envy of your life!

If this doesn't say "You can't sit with us" then I don't know what does.

Aren't they adorable?!

Pull yourselves together, ladies and gentlemen. 

Every girl is going to want this swimsuit for summer. Best believe that you'll be seeing alot of similar ones at a pool party or beach near you!

Ladies giving us real face. 

Don't you just wish that you could make a toy gun look that sexy?

Some more cuteness. And yes, that's a bouncy castle in the background. Told you, this video is fun on steroids. 

They have slayed once again. World stop...carry on. 

With love and gratitude, 

Fashion Tyro.  

Billboard Awards 2015

Miss Jenny-who-now-owns-the-block looked like, well, this! I'm not a fan of the dress but her hair and makeup look great.

Oh, Taraji! Whyyyyy?! She got it wrong in Alexandre Vauthier Couture.

Another disappointment was Rita Ora. What the heck is this? Like really? 

Larverne Cox was in Marc Bouwer. I actually like the dress but teamed up with the heavy makeup it looks a little showgirl. 

Hopeful comeback lady,  Mariah Carey was in Tom Ford. Uhmmm... good luck with Vegas?

Balmain,Balmain, Balmain. Jourdan and Kendall had on the same thing, basically. Kendall looked better.

Tyga's squeeze, Kylie Jenner was in Balmain and that's it.

Miss Lily Aldridge was in Balmain and the runway version was worn by friend, Jourdan Dunn and I must say Lily's version is way better. 

Big ups to Estelle. She looked good but the undergarment she had on should have matched her skin.

Now for chocolate custard. Urghhh. Miss Kazantsev, Please explain. 

Charli XCX made me so happy! Yes it's black and a little boring but at least it's not the usual tacky slightly hooker-ish that we've gotten used to. She looked gorgeous!

Mrs Rancic was in black. And I thought that the style suited her coz it didn't make her even skinnier. But it was a bit illfitting in places.

Hands down, cutest moment of the evening went to Chris Brown and his daughter, Royalty. I mean can you say "Awww"?

Stefanie Scott was in this rather interesting outfit. Where to begin?! The pants could work, somewhere.  The bralet, throw away.

Gorgeous Zendaya Coleman was in Fausto Pulgisi and man did she rock the hell out of it. I must say, her stylist is doing an excellent job. 

Miss Ross! Tracee looked super hot in this amazing leather jumpsuit. She sure showed the young girls a thing or two. Get it, girl!

Supermodel and co-host, Chrissy Teigen chose Balmain, like many did, and although I didn't absolutely hate it, it wasn't a fave either. 

Nick Jonas and Olivia Culpo.  She looked hot as always as did he. He was in Kenzo and she in my favourite designer, Elie Saab. 

Oh, not-so-boring Taylor Swift. Where has dearAmerican Sweetheart Swifty gone? Who will we make fun of? I have to say that she looked rather hot. Her abs! Wowzers! The jumpsuit was yet another Balmain creation.

Oh, Lord! The most interesting of the jumpsuit bunch was this one. Her name: Getty Dencia. Her style: well...

And now for my Best Dressed... *Drumroll*

It's Renee Bargh! I absolutely loved the suit! It's fun, not too dressy and super chic. The hair is amazing. Makeup easy. I love it!

With love and gratitude, 

Fashion Tyro. 

P.S. Worst Dressed: Rita Ora.
