We love a man in a suit. A well-tailored suit. And now Kanye and his entourage will wear just that, according to WWD.com. The singer and his team are now said to step out only in sharply tailored suits by Dio Homme. Think Men in Black, literally: skinny black pants and ties with white shirts. Fans will see his new style (perhaps inspired by Janelle Monae?) on his upcoming tour.
We love to see strategy at work. For nearly two years we haven't heard much from Halle Berry. With the announcement that she and model, Gabriel Aubry the father of their gorgeous baby girl, Nahla, she was nearly silent, saving for a discussion with People magazine (that seemed uncharacteristic of Berry slinging mud), stating Aubry wasn't pulling his weight.
So however the deal went down for Berry to appear on the cover of Vogue, with no project out to promote, we s say well played, Berry. And Vogue. It's certainly one of the most gorgeous spreads we've seen the Academy Award-winning actress Halle Berry appear in. In the September issue of Vogue she opens up to writer Jonathan van Meter about the breakup with her longtime beau. It's a first of many: the first time she's spoken about the breakup with Aubry; and she's the first African-American celebrity—and African-American woman—to grace the cover of the fashion title. Naomi Campbell, a Jamaican-Brit, graced the last cover in 1989. The reason Berry decided to break her silence is submitting now, she says, is that Vogue made her
an offer she couldn't refuse: the September cover. "What that means for a
woman of color and what that means in the fashion world, what that
means to pop culture, there was no way I could say, 'No, I'm not going
to be on the biggest issue of the year.'" Our opinion?
We heart it!

Store Reopens with Private Party Hosted by Uptown Magazine
After five months of renovations, H&M reopened their Harlem store on 125th street (125 West 125th Street) with a party filled with fly people reigning from New York’s five boroughs. Hosted by our publishing partner, Uptown magazine, guests sipped on cocktails and munched on Mac and cheese poppers, mini catfish, eggrolls and red velvet cupcakes as the DJ played the best old school hip-hop and R&B—and received 25% off shopping!
The remodeled tri-level store, which morphed from a bright stalk white décor from top to bottom to walls painted in a sophisticated and modern charcoal hue, offers women’s clothing on the first level, mens on the second and kids on third. What brought about this change? "After about 5 or 7 years we give our stores a makeover," shared Tony Everett, public relations coordinator for H&M. "It’s exciting and we love the Harlem community ,so it’s always great to do an event like this. We understand why people love fashion at all price points so we want people with fashion sense and style to want to wear an H&M design."
H&M Harlem opens to the public today, Friday, July 30 at 10am, and is marking the grand reopening on 125th street by partnering with the Boys & Girls Club of Harlem. They will donate gift cards to members of the Boys & Girls Club of Harlem to help them purchase new H&M garments on opening day. In addition, H&M will also provide the local Boys and Girls Club with a financial grant to support their programs.
Store hours are Monday thru Saturday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. See more images from last night's opening.

According to WWD, Riccardo Tisci, Givenchy’s couturier since 2005, plans to bring back the exclusivity to his Paris collection showing. "I want to make
couture even more special than it is, and not just another catwalk
show,” Tisci told WWD in an exclusive interview alongside Pierre-Yves
Roussel, chief executive officer of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton’s
fashion division, which also spans fashion houses such as Celine, Loewe
and "People can really experience the couture moment: See it,
touch it.” The only people to view his newly edited collection (only 10 looks), which will be installed in an opulent
18th-century town house on the Place Vendôme are editors and Givenchy's most devoted couture clients, including assorted royals. Couture
represents a "special, high-level service," which the new format
reflects, he said. What can we expect to see for 2011? Languid and sensual evening wear boasting embroideries and no black. Why the regrouping? "After a
crisis, a new era always starts,” the designer added, referring to the economic downturn of 2009 and the recession of 2010. "It’s going to be a
very good moment for creativity. For couture, it’s going to go back to
being very exclusive."
LeToya Luckett, R&B songstress, songwriter and actress, graced the red carpet Wednesday night at the Helen Mills Theater in Manhattan for her official launch party as the new face for Luster’s Pink Brand Smooth Touch. Luckett, sporting Rita Hayworth-inspired hair and matte red lips, arrived in style wearing a cerulean blue cocktail dress by Nicole Miller, an oversized silver pearl bauble necklace, and Christian Dior gold strappy stilettos. Friends of LeToya also arrived at the party, co-hosted by Vibe Vixen, including Malik Kitchen from MTV’s Taking The Stage, Season 1, and Luckett's BFF, Keisha Knight Pulliam.
Luster's Pink Brand Smooth Touch, owned by the 50-year old Black-owned haircare company with ten different product lines, is designed for style-conscious women with an urban, hip-hop flair. And it certainly found an 'it girl' in Luckett as the new celebrity endorser, replacing former spokeswoman, R&B singer Keyshia Cole. "LeToya Luckett is beautiful, successful and multitalented," said Jory Luster, president of Luster's Products, while explaining why they selected Luckett as its newest brand ambassador. "What sold me was her heart: she talks about reaching out to young ladies, and you want that person who represents our brand to be a role model."
This past June fans of both Luckett and Luster got a glimpse of the singer in the debut of Smooth Touch's "Star Studded" commercial—a first for the brand, that debuted during the BET Awards. The commercial featured the image and autograph of Luckett on a box of the new Smooth Touch Limited Edition relaxer kit in regular and super strength.
During a small speech in front of about 200 guests, the Grammy Award-winning singer expressed how delighted and proud she was about the opportunity, stating that the company and its officers have become like family to her. "I love them so much," said Luckett. "I never would have imagined being a part of something like this! This was second nature to me." In a one-on-one interview, Luckett, who is working on her third album, shared a message for young women who are interested or plan to take on multiple ventures. She simply says, "It's a lot of work. Humble yourself, realize what you’re taking on, and if God puts it in your heart, He will see you through it." Click to see more images from the event.

So how much do I love the new Glazewear lipslicks from Avon? Voted as the Number One Lip glosses in America, I find that I live for their lush pigments. All 15 of them looked fabulous on my duo-tone mocha puckers. Available in sets of five different shades—ranging from a light burgundy to a cinnamon (awesome for a different nude)—you can get any look you want from this sampling. Want more color with just a hint of shine? Then choose the Glazewear Intense; need shine with just a hint of color, use Glazewear Shine. Want to give your lips some extra kick, then opt for Glazewear Sparkle, which has just the right about of shimmer for those special nights out. And there's one clear gloss if you want to pump up any other color. But the best part? One lucky winner will receive the giftset, courtesy of Avon. Click here to enter our Makeup Monday giveaway!
Lauryn Hill made a rare appearance at a fundraiser for Tanzania, rocking no locks or wigs, but a headful of curls and crimson lips. Though her eyebrows were experiencing some grooming issues,she looked cute as a button. Do you agree?
Kelly Rowland
has hit No. 1 on
the Billboard Dance/Club Play songs chart with her single "Commander," featuring
David Guetta. It is the first single off her forthcoming self-titled album via
Universal Motown. The dance track bumps Lady Gaga’s “Alejandro” from
the top spot.
Jada and Will Smith's fashionista daughter, Willow Smith, has been making headlines lately. Her daring style has caught the attention of red carpet spectators and tons of bloggers. She sure knows how to make a statement. Rumor has it that the-nine-year-old will be releasing an album soon. Jada spilled the secret in the latest issue of Ambassador Magazine:
"I have always had a love for music, always, always, and always. I probably started to pursue it a little late in life. But it was always a passion of mine. I had always been too afraid to venture into music, but I decided when I was about 30 to just go for it. I started a metal band called Wicked Wisdom. I toured and I loved it. But soon after, my kids’ careers started taking off, so I sacrificed it. I am pleased to say my daughter, Willow, will be putting out an album soon and I look forward to enjoying music through her creations. So I am excited about that, and she’s pretty awesome. She will be better at it then I ever could be anyway! (Laughs)"
What kind of future do you see for the budding nine-year old starlet?
