Little cutie Quvenzhané Wallis has been making major moves in Hollywood. From landing the role as Annie in the remake of the Broadway show and film Annie. She's now the new face of Armani Junior! A major fashion house and this spells exposure and big time for Quevenzhane. I'm happy for her she's a beautiful little girl her acting skills were unparalleled for such a young actress and she has no where to go but up. 

Quvenzhané Wallis expressed her excitement and happiness on landing the Armani account: 

"I'm so happy to be chosen by Mr. Armani to be his ambassador for Armani Junior," Wallis      told The Hollywood Reporter. "I felt the same excitement when I got cast for a major film. 
Me? Wow!"

So congrats Quvenzhané Wallis, I'll see ya in the magazines!

Lupita Nyong'o is everyone's favorite obsession now a days and it was only a matter of time before she started showing up everywhere doing ads for major beauty and fashion companies. Well the time has come! Lupita Nyong'o is now the face of Lancome a french based beauty and skin care company. Lancome has made Lupita their new brand ambassador and she will star in ads that will begin circulation around September. Check out this tweet from Lancome:

The company explained their reasoning for seeking Lupita as a brand ambassador and here's what the General Manager of Lancôme International, Françoise Lehmann said that they chose Lupita because she is "talented and committed, true to her African beauty, and showing a great curiosity and open-mindedness in her career choices."

Lupita was just as excited and eager to begin her work as the ambassador when asked by WWD magazine why she agreed to the deal, here's what she said:
"What appealed to me about Lancôme is that they're not dictating what beauty is, hopefully it’s a symbiotic relationship - that I benefit from being associated with them, and they benefit from being associated with me, as well. And for the consumer at large, I think Lancôme has a range of products for every woman, and I think having me will expand people’s understanding of, hopefully, what Lancôme stands for, who Lancôme is for."
Lupita Nyong'o isn't the first academy award winning actress to gain a deal from Lancome. Kate Winslet, Julia Roberts and Penelope Cruz all have been linked to Lancome at some point but Lupita is the first African American woman to become the brand ambassador.


Hopefully with Lupita on board Lancome will provide a wider range of product (in terms of foundation especially) that will suit all skin tones and types. Similar to what Queen Latifah did for Covergirl.

Lancome isn't the only brand that has acquired Lupita. Miu Miu noticed that Lupita had a kinship with some of their pieces from their collection (she wore some of them at events and award shows) and they tapped Lupita to star in their upcoming Spring/Summer ad campaign for 2014.



Congrats Lupita on your endorsement deals and all your future success! #MuchLove

Last Year on October 1, 2013, Keyshia Cole partnered with famed fashion mogul Steve Madden (more so famous for his beautiful shoe collections) to create a fashion shoe line called Steve Madden by Keyshia Cole. I had no idea that this line had even existed. It did not have a major press release or social media release like Nicki Minaj's line or even Sofia Vergara's. I was shocked when I watched Wendy Williams this morning and she gave one her audience members a diva fan for being the eye candy of the day (by her standards) and the woman mentioned she had on Steve Maddens by Keyshia Cole. I was shocked! I'm like Whaaaa? Keyshia Cole has a shoe line? So I went and googled the shoes and Steve Madden has the link for his site but they are no longer available.



They are available however on 6PM. But I think the line has been pulled by now. You would be hard pressed to find these shoes anywhere. eBay would be a good place to find them. I don't think they are going to go beyond that. She didn't really promote these shoes and I guess after a while Steve Madden Co. decided to pull the shoes or sell them to discount stores. If you want to find the shoes for sure as I said earlier try 6PM or a discounted store in your area like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Tuesday Morning, or something along those lines. 

Other than that you're out of luck for Keyshia Cole's multi-patterned, bright colored, platforms and pumps. Sad, but some of the shoes aren't necessarily my cup of tea. Keyshia's shoe collection is alright. Its nothing to jump up and down about. Its like something I've already seen it before. 

Well I hope Keyshia Cole can get some more shoes added to the line or maybe they'll revamp the line. Who knows. All I know is that the line isn't exactly a hot commodity and it isn't available right now.

Her fashion choices are revered all over! She's the new "IT GIRL" in fashion and she's absolutely gorgeous in every choice.

She picks colors that work well for her and she always look absolutely stunning! Check out her some her fashion choices from award shows, to parties, to premieres she's definitely someone to admire in the fashion world:

Lady Gaga is beyond the realm of the real world. But I've come to realize that this is her artform. This is how she chooses to present her music to the world and I cannot be mad at that. At her core she is just a normal woman with big grandeur ideas that she's able to present in full blown production on stage. So with that being said Lady Gaga has been chosen as Versace's "Face" of their 2014 Spring/Summer campaign. Lady Gaga has been known to pull out a Versace gown or ensemble since she came on the scene. And since she and Donatella are very good friends being in the ad campaign for Versace wouldn't be a hard task. 

Lady Gaga looks absolutely stunning in this purple gown by Versace. And if you're looking at the gown saying she's worn this before, you would be absolutely right! She wore this gown to the AMAs 2 weeks ago before the announcement of her being apart of the new Versace campaign. Many people say she's channeling Donatella herself with the tanned olive skin, minimal makeup, and long blonde wig. Either way Lady Gaga looks absolutely stunning and here in lately she's been toning down the theatrics as far as her normal dress. Recently she's become one of my style crushes. Love Lady Gaga and ArtPOP is my new obsession. I really like the album.

Congrats on the new ad campaign with Versace Lady Gaga!
