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,

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.

New Couple Alert!

OMG! I don't know what rock I've been hiding under cause it seems like I'm the last to know that Jordin Sparks and Sage the Gemini are officially a couple! First of all, well done Jordin on showing *cough* people that you're hot property! And secondly, Sage is one juicy yumball. Thirdly, I can't wait for all the music and fashion looks, with bodies like that...

Here are a few instagram moments of the couple:

Met Gala 2015

Alexa Chung in Erdem. I thought that it had beauty to it but was rather underwhelming. 
Poppy Delevigne in Marchesa. Now Marchesa hardly gets it wrong but the flowers are overpowering and the dress is just not giving me China!
Karen Elson in Dolce and Gabbana. Now this screams  'princess of China'. The skirt is a not perfection but the corset and headpiece make up for it. 
Lilly Collins let me down in Chanel. This is what you were to meet the queen, well with a cardigan obvs. 
Send a ya killed her first ever met. This girl has already claimed so many 'Best Dressed' titles and she's only starting. Can't wait for more.
Emily Blunt in Prada. 
Hottie, Emily Ratajkowski in Topshop, surprisingly. 
Chloe Sevigny in J.W. Anderson. 
Bee Shaffer in gorgeous Alexander McQueen. 
Kendall Jenner. 
Gabrielle Union and hubby, Dwayne. 
Rihanna performing. 
The Carters. 
Cara and that impressive art work. 
Bey in Givenchy. Firstly I hate the hair,  I find it dumb. You wear that to a music video, when you're channeling your inner Shaniqueux, not to the Met. As for the dress... Really? With your money? Designers lining up? And this is it?
With gratitude and love, 
Fashion Tyro.
