Femininity was an important theme last week. The nails served, the makeup looks were delivered, and the dresses swayed in harmony with the confidence of their wearers. Simply put, a healthy dose of self-awareness was portrayed with a touch of risqué. The stars chose to be a little scandalous on the carpet with outfits that did a number on the frames, fitting like a paramedic’s gloves. Striking details such as cutouts, high slits, see-throughs and deep necklines suggested an atmosphere of ‘sexy and I know it.’ From Essence Fest to D&G’s Alta Satoria and Alta Moda shows in Italy, baring skin seemed to be the theme of last week’s fashion.
The looks
Disney and Balmain collaborated in celebration of Lion King’s 30th anniversary to release a limited collection featuring artful African designs that excel in unique craftsmanship with intricate details. To celebrate this milestone, model Jourdan Dunn attended the event in a plunging neckline mini dress, rich in personality. The dress featured all-over gold embellishments that were deliberately composed. She paired this with a pixie cut, subtle makeup and gold earrings that added a touch of glamor to the ensemble.
As previously mentioned, flirty dresses were the highlight of the week. The Bailey sisters had had enough of flowing dresses. Chloe Bailey posed on Instagram and expressed her love for cut-out dresses in yet another number that featured a black turtleneck at the midriff. Meanwhile her sister Halle could pass for a sultry mermaid in a green high-slit dress at the D&G Alta Sartoria show in Italy. It’s 2024 and it’s safe to say that naked numbers have proven themselves as core components in our fashion conversations.
As regards Fantasy, you can be sure that she will always be on the fashion front. The singer showcased her patriotism at the A Capitol Fourth concert, where she sang dressed in a white figure-hugging Christian Siriano balloon hem dress styled with white strappy sandals. Talk about hassle-free and stylish! Her second look, an all-black Alexandre Vauthier ensemble enlivened with Alexis Bittar jewelry, came with an equal dose of pump and flair. Daniel Hawkinsthe stylist of Fantasia, hasn’t missed a beat in recent years, and the duo may be one of the best to ever do it.
