“Once again, it’s on!” Last night’s 21st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards brought out the naturalistas in a big way! Red carpet slayer Lupita Nyong’o and stylist Micaela Erlanger have hit another one outta the park with this GORG-em-OUS Elie Saab gown. Her braided updo more than compliments this bold print and that skin is as radiant as ever! Within no time, fashion illustrator Josefina Fernandez posted this epicness to Instagram… Viola Davis rocked a fro to top off her white halter Max Mara gown and the natural hair enthusiasts were loving it… me included, of course! Might this be a twist-out… braid-out? *shrugs* I pity the fool who STILL says naturally kinky hair can’t be classy! In an awesome acceptance speech, Viola thanked her husband, daughter and mother, “the people who love me exactly how God made me”. We see you Viola! Photo Credits: Frederic J.

I’ve been trying to think up some profound intro for this post, perhaps some super poetic description of Miss Lupita Nyong’o. Listen, it ain’t happenin’! What is there to say except… This chick bad! Here are four reasons why (in my humble opinion). So, ummm, let’s start with the obvious. {1} The Fashion! I’m gonna be completely honest… I hadn’t the slightest idea who this beauty was before the Golden Globes (nope, didn’t see 12 Years A Slave) but, needless to say, she has had my attention ever since! I think I’m a bit late to join #teamlupita, but I’m okay with that. 😉 Anyways, Lupita Nyong’o = RED CARPET KILLA! Stylist Micaela Erlanger does an amazing job with her event after event. The colors, the shapes- they always work. She doesn’t stop. Just when you think she’s topped the last look, she goes and does something like this… And then…
