    Shopping #Empire: Camilla Marks’ DVF Metallic Gold Mia Playsuit

    /

    In “The Devil Quotes Scripture,” Naomi Campbell guest stars as Camilla, a London-based fashion designer who embarks on a scandalous affair with Hakeem. When we first see her, she struts into Laviticus in a DVF metallic gold playsuit with Christian Louboutin Foilles Resille Pumps on her feet. Black fishnet tights sheathed her enviable gams. If you look closely, she has an Alaïa Laser-cut Leather Clutch tucked under her arm. I’ll catch the replay over at the Fox website to see if I can identify her shoes. I’ve been on a roll lately! Photo: Facebook

    Michelle Obama’s #SOTU Michael Kors Grey Tweed Origami Skirt Suit

    /

    FLOTUS Michelle Obama knows the power of grey. No, seriously she does. First, as you might recall, she donned shimmering grey lavender nails (the color in question was Artistic Nail Design Soak Off Colour Gloss in Vogue) at the 2012 Democratic National Convention. And now, the mom-in-chief turned to the chic shade again for the 2015 State of the Union. This time, she dazzled in a Michael Kors Grey Tweed Origami Jacket with Foldover Collar ($797; back in stock) with the matching Tweed Skirt ($597 the zip-slit rested at the rear). Both pieces are on sale now at Neiman Marcus. Sign up for eBates before you go shopping to receive cash back! Could you imagine if…

    Shopping #Empire: Anika’s Burgundy Halter Gown

    /

    Anika’s burgundy halter gown is all the rage in these e-streets. Let me start off by saying that I am mostly #teamcookie as I’m sure most of you are. I know we as viewers are supposed to “hate” head of A&R and Lucious’ girlfriend Anika Calhoun (Grace Gealey). But Boo Boo Kitty shut it down in that brilliant burgundy halter gown with crisscross front panels. My research revealed that some fans of the show wanted her dress. In response, I decided to answer the question and provide an alternative!

    Shopping #Empire: Cookie Lyon’s French Connection Viven Dress

    /

    Shopping Cookie Lyon I am beyond enthused right now! I needed to unwind during this unbelievably busy week so I figured I’d finally do an Empire post. Like so many of you, I envy Cookie Lyon’s (played wonderfully by Taraji P. Henson) closet. We’re two episodes into the inaugural season and people are constantly talking Cookie’s style. Already, she’s had about nine iconic looks which consist of animal print, fur, and statement accessories. Costume designer Rita McGhee along with Monique Mosley, Timbaland’s wife, infused Cookie’s wardrobe with all types of glamorous, glitzy gems. Let’s get the look together! The official Empire Facebook page shares select outfits/pieces from Cookie’s Closet each week. Recently,…

    Claudia Jordan Watch What Happens Live Look

    /

    Last night delivered! First, we had the Golden Globes, then a new episode of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. “Puerto Read-co” was especially juicy as newcomer Claudia Jordan and Nene traded barbs in the last scene of their Puerto Rico excursion. Christened the new Queen of Shade by Cynthia, Claudia emerged as the victoress. Yes, it’s premature (there are levels to this) but it still makes for entertaining TV. “When you were my age, you had edges,” Claudia matter-of-factly reminded Nene.
