All week, the fashion temperature has been steadily rising to provocative heights. From fashion shows to book launches and everything in between, black celebrities took every opportunity to create brilliant fashion. With another hectic week upon us, the goal of the weekend is often to participate in activities that boost our mood and relieve stress. For you, whether that’s meeting up with friends or celebrating a music festival, celebrities have made sure you don’t hit the wall when it comes to what to wear. As usual, we’ve put together the best deals to highlight your style star status this weekend.
Get inspired by these fashionable celebrity looks from last week’s events…
#1. Mary J. Blige
Iconic singer, Mary J. Blige will always be a colorful and daring style girl who is not afraid to dress according to her wishes. Recently, in true maximalist fashion, she overdosed on color. She paired a Tiffany blue miniskirt with a peach and Tiffany blue blazer and peach open-toe boots for more oomph. When replicating this look, you can change it up shade by shade if an explosion of color isn’t your thing. Otherwise, go bold, like Ms. Blige, when you go to an open-mic event.
#2. Tyla
South African sensation Tyla knows how to rock naked, and we love it. For the cover of the tenth issue of Numero Nederland, the singer wore a nude Maison Alaia dress with Jimmy Choo pumps, ‘pumped up’ with a voluminous hairstyle for the dazzling dazzle. You can only imagine a wine glass in your hand as you stand in front of a work of art in a museum this weekend and look like a masterpiece yourself.
#3. Coco Jones
Your weekend style escapades would be incomplete without a good party girl outfit. Coco Jones gave a nod to effortless glamor in a velvet cut-out dress, styled with simple silver sandals and matching manis. Rock this for a night out with friends, because the fabric and cut provide movement – enough to dance your way through the night.

#4. Sarah Jakes-Roberts
The flip haircut may be overshadowed by the short bob, but it still makes an impression. Sarah Jakes-Roberts flipped her hair and accessorized it with a sassy white hairstyle for her Power Moves book tour. Sporting an asymmetrical blouse styled with loose-fitting pants, the ever-stylish Pastor delivered fashion with a capital “F.” Revive your weekend routine with this sleek celebrity look as you head to a product launch.
#5. Lilac Grace Moss
Beautiful model Lilac Moss attended the Gucci London show in a yellow coordination of the brand. Featuring micro shorts styled with a fitted blazer, burgundy platform shoes and a matching bag, the look was undoubtedly chic. Yellow is a real hype this spring and is a perfect color to have in your arsenal. Boldly walk into a members-only meet-and-greet with this look and turn heads.
#6. Yvonne Orji
The stars are onto something with yellow this season. Different shades of yellow, from vibrant to soft shades, are well represented on the style streets this spring. Take a hint from it Yvonne Orji and swap a black or navy blue suit for its yellow counterpart and shine without humility.
#7. Charithra Chandran
A leather fit has an inexplicable allure. Charithra Chandran harnessed the appeal of texture in a Tolu Coker ensemble that enhanced her natural charisma. The look, which featured a skater skirt, cropped halter top and long coat, was a sassy way to stand out. And let’s not forget her suede platform shoes, which made for an interesting play of textures. Show some skin in this celebrity look this weekend when you go to a jazz festival.
#8. Karrueche
Karrueche set the tone at a Jimmy Choo event with a sheer top and cropped pants. The clash of textures and the pleasant nature of the all-black fit resulted in an enjoyable sight. This weekend is a great time to try out a pixie cut and an all-black outfit for a Saturday night party.
#9. Nichelle Lewis
Broadway performer Nichelle Lewis is a full bag of talent. From serenading us on American Idol to playing Dorothy in Broadway’s The Wiz, she delivers an A+ every time. In a recent appearance for Town and Country Magazine, she showed that she also understands fashion. Lewis elevated a black blazer dress with a blue button-down shirt, sheer tights and studded pumps. Visit your favorite place this weekend with your favorite people in this outfit.
#10. Bonang Matheba
Sporty girls are the happiest, especially during relaxing weekends. If your list is filled with casual family events and casual soirées, an elevated athleisure fit fits the bill. South African media girl, Bonang Matheba offers a valuable lesson in a combination of oversized jersey and distressed jeans, finished with comfortable sneakers and a mini bag. Matheba pulled off the look with intention and confidence.
