5 Celebrity Stylist Tips for the Perfect Red Carpet Look

Jennifer Lawrence was a winner and a head-turner in a stunning red Dior gown at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards.  To help every woman look and feel like an A-list starlet, celebrity stylist George Kotsiopoulos from E!'s Fashion Police, has a few tips:

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE RIGHT FOUNDATION

No matter how chic your outfit is, it’s important to get all the details right and that includes a stunning silhouette and beautifully moisturized skin. Make sure to use a body shaper under your dress (yes, we all need a little cinch now and then!) and get glowing skin with dermatologist tested Suave® Skin Solutions Advanced Therapy Body Lotion. It has rich hydrators that moisturize the skin’s surface to make skin smooth, soft and more beautiful. Plus, it is clinically proven to moisturize for up to 24 hours – so you can look fabulous from dawn ‘til dusk.
GET THE FIT RIGHT

The right tailoring can make or break an outfit. Most women have a hard time finding dresses that fit their bodies right off the rack. If you try on a gown and it pulls in all the wrong places, go a size larger and then find a good tailor to make it perfect for your body (pull in the waist, hug the hips, hem up the straps and any other details).
MAKE A STATEMENT – JUST ONE!

When we think about accessorizing, it is sometimes tough not to go overboard, but always remember that you need just one focal point with every award-winning outfit. If you’re wearing an elaborate dress, keep everything else very simple (including hair, make-up and accessories). On the other hand, if your dress is very simple, then pair with it elaborate jewels or dramatic hair and makeup so that you to really stand out.

BE BOLD WITH COLOR
Black is always chic (and safe).  But unless it’s over-the-top, it can be forgettable and that’s no way to win “best dressed” this season. Make an entrance by wearing a bold color that flatters your skin tone. We all have one color that elicits multiple compliments every time we wear it and that is your best color. 

Of course, color will not truly shine if your skin doesn’t look radiant, so pair this bold look with Suave® Skin Solutions Smoothing Body Lotion with Cocoa Butter & Shea. It has a new, richer formula that instantly relieves dryness to soften rough, dry skin and replenishes moisture for up to 24 hours.

BE YOURSELF

Don’t worry about trends or what everyone else might be wearing. Use your own sense of style to choose an A-list ensemble. Wear what you feel confident in and what looks great on you; not only will you look amazing, but your confidence will radiate.

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

It's the end of an era. Conway discount stores are closing . As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to New York City, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore.  I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued.  I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store.  And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store. One regretful ensemble: Lime green and white checkered pants with a matching lime green

Memorial Day Weekend 2023 Cultural Highlight: DanceAfrica Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Throughout Brooklyn

In her essay, " African Dance is Medicine for the Mind, Body and Spirit ," dancer, teacher and choreographer Cherie Hill wrote, "The more I perform African dance, the more I discover and enjoy euphoria. When the drums are beating and the body is dancing everything fits in sync and I feel limitless and powerful."   Photo by Nate Palmer                                                                                                                         Hill is honored with a portrait by Cecilia Lamptey-Botchway that's on display   at the  BAM Howard Gilman Opera House  during the annual  DanceAfrica Festival .  The festival celebrates Black joy and resilience and the regal power of African dance.  I mark my calendar each year for the  DanceAfrica Bazaar, where I often run into old friends and see familiar faces. In a Brooklyn that has quickly become gentrified, I love to see us walking tall, beaming with pride and to quote Bey, "shining, shining, shining, y

The Re-Education of NeNe Leakes: The Reality Star Talks About College Hill, What Housewives She's Still Friends With and More

I’ve been a fan of The Real Housewives of Atlanta since the beginning.     So I jumped at the chance to chat with original RHOA cast member and breakout star NeNe Leakes.     It’s been a tough couple of years since NeNe parted ways with the show. In 2021 her husband Gregg lost his battle with colon cancer and earlier this year she filed a discrimination lawsuit against her former employer, Bravo. But on the brighter side, the 54-year-old is dating again and starring in the BET limited reality series,   College Hill: Celebrity Edition.    Along with other headline-grabbing reality TV stars including, Big Freedia, Lamar Odom, Stacey Dash and Ray J., NeNe and the members of the cast lived together and attended classes at the historically Black Texas Southern University.     We asked NeNe what it was like to go back to school, what the biggest misconception about her is, which housewives she's still friendly with, and more.   Everything She Wants : What did it feel like being back in
