    Fish Mooney Gotham Makeup Look for #Gotham Season 1

    /

    Blaq Vixen Beauty breaks down Fish Mooney Gotham makeup look by celebrity makeup artist John Perkins. Is Fox’s new hit show “Gotham” a must-see for you on Monday nights at 8/7c? If not, here’s a reason to watch: Jada Pinkett Smith. As Gotham’s feisty and fashion-forward crime lord Fish Mooney, Pinkett-Smith is utterly delicious. She satisfies my desires for all things dark and dangerous. And of course, as I am in love with her wardrobe! According to costume designer Lisa Padovani, Jada’s leather and metallic dress as “80’s Versace/Mugler inspired.” Three parts Stephanie “Queenie” St. Clair, Griselda Blanco and Norma Desmond, I love that Jada is on this show. I love that she…

    Shopping #Gotham: Fish Mooney’s Gold Fringe Ear Cuff

    /

    In “Selina Kyle”, Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith) wore two of my favorite things: a gold fringe ear cuff and a sizzling halter gown. Her exact jungle-inspired ear ornament is the Maria Francesca Pepe Gold Fringe Single Ear Cuff. The cutout teal halter with twisting gold hardware she wore on Gotham is something I’d definitely wear. Ear cuffs have been on my radar since 2012, but Maria Francesca’s version outshines all others. Even Chio’s Delfine Chain Fringe Ear Cuff excites me! It’s available at Saks Fifth Avenue for $295.

    Your Complete Fashion Guide to Beyoncé’s ***Flawless

    /

     ***Flawless has been my anthem ever since I first heard it these past few days. The black-and-white video, both gritty and glamorous, has energized my soul with purpose and bravado. This particular scene stood out to me as I recognized the beanie this member of Bey’s gang wore. After unsuccessfully racking my brain for the exact name, I finally Googled and found out where I would be buying my own. It’s the Profound Aesthetic Monarchia Mastermind Beanie in black. Imagine my surprise when I realized Karmaloop had it in stock months ago and I didn’t snatch it up! It’s a great spin on the term “thinking cap.” Wake up “flawless,” don your…
