Draya Michele debuted her Mint Swim swimsuit collection in L.A. last night. And we noticed she’s rocking her engagement ring from her alleged ex-fiance Orlando Scandrick. More inside….

Starring on reality TV is certainly working in Draya’s favor.

The “Basketball Wives: L.A.” star debuted her super sexy Mint Swim swimsuit collection during L.A. Swim Week last night. And chick slayed her look for the evening. The Mint Swim owner sizzled in a snow-white Kyna Collection jumpsuit. Simple and elegant, yet edgy. We must admit, her body is sick and this jumpsuit was the perfect amount of sexy and sophistication.

"Empire star" and singer V. Bozeman was VIP status as she was in attendance as a special guest of Draya's. She looked gorge.

And then we took a closer look...*squinted*...looked again...

 photo drysw3.png

Yep, chick is rocking her $400k engagement ring gifted to her by her fiancé Dallas Cowboys baller Orlando Scandrick when he asked for her hand in marriage back in June.

A few weeks ago, Orlando had a change of heart and blabbed to the media he was pumping the breaks on the engagement, calling it a huge mistake. Hmm…so have they kissed and made up? Or is she still just wearing it to wear it?

OR…..

Was it all a publicity stunt for a storyline (like her co-star Mehgan James has been alluding to)?

Chile….
 

Check out Draya taking her final walk below:

For the latest issue of FLAUNT, Karrueche Tran models this season's hottest denim looks and stars in the short film "PRXDE".  See it all inside...

 

 photo tumblr_nqsiz7xvPM1u2y8yoo1_1280.jpg

Despite the naysayers, Karrueche Tran is determined to make it in Hollywood.  While most people have had their doubts about KT's talent or ability to survive without a high-profile boyfriend attached to her name, she's consistently found work and seems to be making her acting dreams come true.  Not sure how long the novelty of her former relationship will last, but she's twerking it for what it is.

 photo tumblr_nqsj0fjJxv1u2y8yoo1_1280.jpg

Recently, she posed for the latest issue of FLAUNT Magazine (the Summer Camp Issue) where she models high-end denim. The black-and-white pictorial was shot at Milk Studios in LA by Brian Higbee.

Karrueche also put her acting skills to use in the magazine's short film PRXDE.  Under the direction of Yosef Day, Kae stars a a boxer who makes her living by "throwing" her fights. SIDEBAR - We think her opponent was styled to look like Rihanna from the Good Girl Gone Bad era....but we could be reaching.

 

 

Fans of Karrueche can catch more of her acting skills this weekend.  On Sunday, she stars in 3 Headed Shark Attack on the Syfy Channel, at 3pmET.

Nope, this isn't a Rick James & Superman mashup.  Dwyane Wade set the Internet on fire yesterday when a photo from an Esquire Magazine shoot went viral.  Check out his daring fashion stance inside...

Basketball star Dwyane Wade, the husband of fashionista Gabrielle Union, has been a darling of men's fashions mags for as long as we can remember.  He's not afraid to take risks and that's a good thing. 

In an upcoming issue of the magazine, D. Wade gives us straight Zoolander in a one-piece romper and blue blazer.  And he included a very cocky caption with the pic,"#straghitouttaesquiremagazine #fashion #ifyoucantpullitoffyouwontunderstandit #beendoingthis."

Dwyane said he IS fashion.  And if you "don't understand it," you're the one with the problem.

Oh.

The 25-year-old basketball star treated his family, friends and community to a free screening of the film. And “BBW: L.A.” star Malaysia, who is also a Compton native, was in attendance to check out the blockbuster film:

Before the show started, Brandon stood before the audience and said, "I'm from the City of Compton, this is very important to me, and to my City, this is one of our first films for Compton specifically and I'm proud to support it, so I bought this whole mutha effa out."

Well that was nice of him.

SNEAK PEAK: EBONY'S September 2015 Issue Celebrates The Industry's Top Black Models

 photo 0915-Ebony September Cover.jpg

The cover of EBONY'S September Issue features some of the hottest Black models in the game!  See a preview of the cool shot inside...

 

We are in the midst of a model moment.  As Naomi Campbell, Iman and BethAnn Hardison lead the charge in calling out fashion designers who don't hire Black models for their runway shows, EBONY has picked up the torch - dedicating the cover of the September 2015 issue to the industry's top talent.

EBONY's September Fall Fashion issue serves as a symbol of affirmation in an era where many black models are fading away from the runway and the pages of magazines. The mag reveals in its “Race & The Runway” article that of the 9,538 model bookings that took place across 373 Fall 2015 fashion shows in New York, London, Milan and Paris, 80 percent were White; and Black models comprised less than 8 percent. Outrageous!

Inside, EBONY talks to three generations of runway icons, including Pat Cleveland, Beverly Johnson, Roshumba and Tyra Banks, who share testimonies that affirm that Black models are ambassadors representing far more than the physical grace of Black people; they also represent our pride.

Then, Gail O’Neill reflects on how big business has affected Black models, “When I started in 1985, the industry was far more integrated. I feel sorry for the Black girls working today. So many times there is just one brown face, maybe two, in the couture shows…I can’t even count how many brown girls I would see every time the collections came around.”

And of course......there's the fab cover story and photo shoot. “Made You Look," profiles six models rocking fall’s boldest trends, daring to represent the “ah-mazing” skin they are in. The diversity of Black skin is highlighted in the ten-page high fashion spread where we say hello to a new crop of models: Chantelle Winnie (IG: WinnieHarlow), Milan Dixon (IG: ModeloMilano), Fatima Siad (IG: FatimaSiad), Marquita Pring (IG: MarquitaPring), Diandra Forrest (IG: DiandraForrest), and Samantha Archibald (IG: ThinkThinkBrainBlast).

In a press release about the issue EBONY EIC Kierna Mayo said,“Thank you Black models of then and now—so present and despite what seems like fewer of you working today—so there. We see you injecting brown bodies into spaces where we have all but been erased.”

We can't wait to see the pics...

Like sister, like sister! Sasha Obama appears to be taking a page out of her big sister Malia Obama’s fashion guide when it comes to styling like a fashionable teen. Get the deets on the First Daughters' matching dresses inside….

 photo mall1.jpg

The First Family’s annual fun-filled family vacation has come to an end. On Sunday, President Barack Obama, First LadyMichelle Obama, Sasha and Malia Obama returned from their two-week summer vacay at Martha’s Vineyard. And they don't appear to be too happy about leaving the island.

 photo mall2.jpg

We noticed 14-year-old Sasha rocking an incredibly cute blue and white Tory Burch embroidered dress (spotted by Fashion Bomb Daily) as she arrived on Air Force One at Andrews Air Force base (before hopping on an helicopter to the White House).

It appears little sis is taking notes from big sis because back in June....

 photo enreb3.jpg

17-year-old Malia was seen wearing the exact same dress. The Obama ladies were headed to board a private plane in Venice, Italy after wrapping their five-day European visitearlier this summer.

 photo bame1.jpg

We’re not sure if Sasha borrowed the dress from her big sis (like sisters love to do) or if they both have their own dress, but they BOTH looked stylish, comfortable and age-appropriate in the sleeveless frock. Loves it!

After taping a performance with Chris Brown for “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” Roc Nation songstress Rita Ora trekked across the street to the TCL Chinese Theatre to attend fashion designer Jeremy Scott’s new film, Jeremy Scott: The People’s Designer, Hollywood premiere.

The film is a documentary that chronicles the American designer’s rise to fame where Rita makes a cameo. It’s set to be released in the U.S. on September 18th.

On the carpet, the “Body On Me” singer turned heads in all red rocking a Moschino jacket accented with gold chains, Moschino shorts, top, and purse at the premiere. She looks HOT.

FYI—Jeremy became Moschino’s Creative Director in October 2013.

14-year-old Willow Smith, who turns 15 next month, also came out to support Jeremy Scott’s new project.

The eccentric teen (who could be identical twins with brother Jaden) opted to wear all black everything, but added yellow and red paint above her eyebrows for a fun look. Typical Willow and we love it.

R&B songbird Tinashe was also on the scene for last night’s festivities.

Rihanna’s rumored flame (but we're now convinced they're just friends) and Formula 1 racecar driver Lewis Hamilton hit the carpet solo last night. He nabbed the Sportsman of the Year award presented by Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Avengers star Samuel L. Jackson kept it dapper in an all-black tailored suit on the carpet before getting to his hosting duties.

Mr. Jackson is a very busy man these days. He has recently wrapped up production for quite a few films including Chiraq, The Hateful Eight,The Blob, Cell and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. Get ready to see a lot more of Samuel at the box office.

Former “Fashoin Queens” star and upcoming "Bevelations" Sirius/XM radio host Bevy Smith was all about colors and prints for the Just Cavalli Kick Off New York Fashion Week event held at the Just Cavalli Soho Boutique last night. The curvy fashionista strutted her stuff in a heavily printed Frida Kahlo inspired ensemble that she styled with a printed clutch and actually works for her. She’s clearly not afraid to take a few risks in the fashion department.

Speaking of taking risks….

After the recent cancellation of “Fashion Queens,” Bevy has already booked a new gig. She’s set to host her very own weekly talk show on satellite radio.

BRAVO producer Andy Cohen will launch his all-new SiriusXM channel Radio Andy on Monday, September 14 on SiriusXM. And Bevy will be featured in the new line-up of shows. Bevy will bring her uncensored comedic flair to her new show titled “Bevelations.” Nice! She gushed about her new project on Twitter tweeting,

"The best part of #Bevelations is that I get to chat about ALL the stuff that I love,current events, nightlife, travel, BIG PENIS, everything. Thank you to my mensch, @andy of @RadioAndySXM for GIVING me yet another opportunity to SHINE & be my raunchy yet sensitive self, lol!”

Congrats Bevy! We will surely be tuning in.

Some of your fave YBFers returned to the NYFW scene yesterday to check out some of the hottest spring/summer fashions. Peep front row pics of Nicki Minaj, Common, Miguel, Tyga& Kylie, Solange and more inside….

Yesterday, Alexander Wang presented his men’s collection on the NYFW runway at Pier 94 for the first time. And it brought out a handful of YBF celebs.

 photo AlexanderWangFrontRowSpring2016NewYorkzSbMDxwIrYql.jpg

Young Money star Nicki Minaj was back on the NYFW scene popping up front row ready in an Alexander Wang ensemble.

...was none other than Kanye West. But, clearly he did NOT want to be photographed. Nicki captioned, "Someone was NOT having it tonight." Guess he was in one of his moods, sitting on the front row with a hoodie over his head.

Then he rolled out like....

Yeezy’s sister-in-law Kylie Jenner was also on the front next to her bro-in-law and her tatted up ice grilled boyfriend Tyga. Hmm..wonder what's she's hiding on that ring finger.

Further down the row...

Mary J. Blige was back at NYFW perched on the front row alongside Fashion photographer Steven Klein and Lady Gaga.

Besties Christina Milian and Karrueche (rocking a new hue) made it a girls’ night out. Haven't seen these two out together in a while.

 photo AlexanderWangFrontRowSpring2016NewYorkhcSVtjaURoRl.jpg

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), Lewis Hamilton was solo on the carpet. Since Rihanna has been all over Travis Scott lately, it’s pretty safe to say she and Lewis aren’t hooking up (or are they?).

At another event...

 photo SaksFifthAvenueEmpireFashionWeekEventqyrmzUDG6NTl.jpg

Lee Daniels and the “Empire” cast were in the city for their season 2 NYC premiere, but they also hit up a few NYFW events. The cast was front-and-center at the Saks Fifth Avenue event and they stole the show.

Miguel brought his longtime girlfriend Nazanin Mandi along as his date. We hear he was suppose to perform in Toronto yesterday but was a no-show. Hmmm....

 photo BajaEastFrontRowSpring2016MADEFashionr-L2gGARraYl.jpg

Looks like the guys had the same "look" in mind...but they both executed their look very differently.

Kanye West PISSES Off Designer With SURPRISE NYFW Show Announcement + Rihanna’s PUMA Sneaker Already SOLD OUT

Kanye West is causing upsets at NYFW with the announcement of a surprise presentation. Meanwhile, Rihanna’s new PUMA sneaker WAS available for pre-order today…but it has already sold out. More inside…

The last thing you want is someone else raining on your parade after putting so much time and effort into a project. And that seems to be the case with one designer at NYFW…all because of Kanye West.

Fellow streetwear designer Anne Bowen is PISSED because Yeezy announced today that he will be offering up a surprise fashion show at New York Fashion Week in a few days.

According to reports, Yeezy will be putting his Kanye West X Adidas Originals Collection on display on Wednesday, September 16th. The problem? That’s the exact same date and time Anne Bowmen had planned to present her Nomad VII collection. Bloop! Now, she’s scrabbling to change the date of her show.

With Kanye’s celeb status, you KNOW he will be stealing everyone’s thunder. And Anne is not happy about it. She told Women’s Wear Daily,

“We have been prepping for a year for this at considerable financial, labor- and commitment-cost to our company. Our show date has been scheduled for months and has been on the Fashion Calendar for weeks. We went through all the proper channels to make this a reality. And just yesterday we learned that Kanye West is having a show at the same time on the same date as ours.”

Yikes! She added,

“Kanye knows he is a media sensation and it is just not ethical to do this. It’s like we are David and he is Goliath. We have put our heart and soul into our show, and should not be stepped on like this.”

Welp…guess that’s just apart of the game…at least when you’re Kanye West.

In other fashion news…

Earlier today…Rih shared with her fans that her new sneaker “The Creeper” was available for pre-order. And guess what? A few hours later, it has already SOLD OUT. Yes, if you were trying to get your hands on her new kicks…you’ll have to wait until they restock. RiRi made the announcement via her Instagram posting a picture of her little niece/cousin Majesty with the caption:

With just a few days left of NYFW, the YBF celebs are soaking up as many runway shows as they can. Come inside to see flicks of “Empire” stars Bryshere “Yazz” Gray and Serayah, Jennifer Hudson, Solange,Gabrielle Union and many more inside….

We’ve rounded up pics of some of your fave YBFers on the NYFW scene. Not only did they step out to check out some of their fave designers latest threads, they also showed up in some fashionable attires.

“Empire” stars and former on-screen couple Bryshere “Yazz” Gray and Serayah trekked to Moschino's Creative Director Jeremy Scott’s (Kagome Greens) presentation held at Skylight at Moynihan Station yesterday in some stylish looks.

Yazz rocked all black finishing his look with a decorated Moschino jacket and colorful kicks. Meanwhile, Serayah slayed in a Moschino ensemble accented with a red bra and red sandals for a pop of color. Cute.

Singer/actress (and NYFW regular) Kat Graham was also on the scene last night. The “Secrets” singer popped up in an eye-catching color blocked dress styling in a long asymmetrical bob. We suddenly want a sno-cone.

The long bob seems to be all the rage this season with YBFers like Ciara, Gabrielle Union, Christina Milian and more changing it up for the cropped coif.

Celebrity stylist June Ambrose has been busy making her NYFW rounds. She was front row ready for Jeremy Scott’s newest designer digs.

Upcoming Broadway starlet Jennifer Hudson was pretty in pink in a Zac Posen dress to attend the designer’s Spring 2016 show last night held at Vanderbilt Hall inside the Grand Central Terminal. JHud was stunning in this pop of pink frock.

Ciara hit up the COACH runway show yesterday in all Coach everything. Afterwards, she chopped it up with Andy Cohen in the “WWHL” clubhouse where she touched on her “beef” with Monica and rumors about her controlling what the Seahawks' DJ plays (when it comes to her baby's daddy Future). Get it all inside...

 photo CoachWomenSpring2016ShowFrontRowejV5H-9fZ01l.jpg

Ciara doesn’t show any signs of slowing down at New York Fashion Week. The YBF chick popped up at the COACH Women’s Spring 2016 runway show held outside at the Highline yesterday, drenched in the designer’s threads.

After the show...

CiCi changed into a color blocked Fausto Puglisi dress that she paired with Giuseppe Zanotti sandals and trekked it to the “Watch What Happens Live” clubhouse. We feelin' her look?

Ciara, who was joined on the show by “The View” co-host Joy Behar, sat down with Andy Cohan to talk about life as the girlfriend of a major football player. But before she started gushing about Russell Wilson, a viewer called in with a question asking her to address her “beef” with fellow R&B songstress Monica.

You’ll recall, Monica recently revealed she and CiCi’s relationship went sour after a falling out and never cleared the air. (Get all the deets HERE). But Ciara didn’t want to discuss it…at all. Here’s what she said,

“I just don’t have time for no drama so I can’t even address that question.”

Well that’s that.
 

There has also been talk about Russell and Ciara controlling what the Seattle Seahawks’ DJ plays during practices and pregame warmups. In an interview with Billboard magazine, DJ DV One said he feels uncomfortable playing Future’s music out of respect for the star quarterback. He said,

This year, I've been getting a lot of requests for Future. But that dynamic is weird too, because I can barely play Future with Ciara running around and that's her baby's dad. It's just that he has a dope-ass album out right now, players like to hear it, it definitely gets you pumped up — even though it's low-tempo, it's still stuff that you want to hear — and then you've got Ciara running up with little baby Future and she's dating Russell so it's like, "Oh f---."
 

A caller asked Ciara what she thought about what he said and here’s her response:

“I think the people wanted to blow his statement out of proportion. No one’s trying to control the DJ, so that’s basically what I have to say about that.”
 

Hmph.

We all know Ciara and Russell are waiting to have sex, so she was asked...how do they keep it HOT without actually engaging in the act? She responded,

 

“He’s so beautiful. It’s so many great things about him that keep me intrigued. I think what’s so cool about it is that it allows us to create a foundation and a friendship with each other. And I really believe, we both believe that if we can get that strong then we can conquer anything with our love. That’s the mission. Let me just say, it’s hard now. He’s so beautiful."

Aww...

So is there any possibility of the twosome displaying their love on a reality show? She simply said, “No, absolutely not.”
