Home Of The Bee

Beyoncé Sings the National Anthem, 'The Star-Spangled Banner', At the 2013 presidential Inauguration ceremony

At President Obama's inauguration ceremony, which was a sea of famous faces in most beautiful fashion garments Beyoncé Knowles stepped out and sang Americas National Anthem but not only blowing us away with her voice and performance, She had on one the most beautifully embroidered black evening gown by one of my favourite designers Emilio Pucci. The contrast between the black dress next to her blonde golden waves was magical but then teaming it up with ever so special dazzling Emerald earrings by Lorraine Schwartz (reportedly wort $1.8million) well "BEE" you just blow us away


Its All In The Dress

This is one of my Favourite times of the year! Most normal people look forward to their birthday's or christmas but not me I love this time of year because it is the month that showcase the latest S/S couture Fashion.

This season for S/S 2013 I think that Giambattista Valli really captured the essence of Couture Fashion. Creating such beautiful garments with shape and design, which painted that picture of fantasy with a sprinkle of art. Now isn't that really what couture is all about.

Just by looking at this collection it is clear to everyones eye, even the no-fashionista that this collection is the epitome of High-end Haute Couture style by tacking some tricksome shapes that wouldn't so much work in the realms of RTW: mini crinis and full shapes of skirts; longer training lengths at the back to shorter splaying ones at the at the front. With a modern day twist on the cigarette pants by adding a bodice on top with a side train of over indulgence fabric rapidly dropping down behind.

Giambattista Valli is one designer this season that has kept the essence of couture alive but pushed the boundaries apart. Here are some images of his beautifully inspiring collection.

B Is Back To Business

After the GQ Februarys 2013 front cover was leaked they decided to release the official cover. My oh my what more can I say! Mrs Beyoncé Knowles in All her glory.... she is "Back To Business"

The Photoshoot was shoot by no other than the fabulous Terry Richardson. He really seemed to capture   the essence of Beyoncé and portrayed her in the best light ever. But I don't think it was all due to his camera work and lighting, It looks like somebody has been putting in some sort of work because I don't know any other post pregnancy bodies that look as good as this!

In the spread Beyoncé is showcasing her new body in a revealing cut-off top and extremely small zippered animal-print underwear and football jersey shirt, which I think is all in aid of her upcoming performance on the super bowel on Feb 3rd 2013... The 31- year- old singer is all curves and skin on the cover, which Hails her as one of the 100 sexiest women of the 21st century.

The Full spread will be revealed by GQ in its entirety on Jan. 15, with the issue hitting newsstands on Jan. 22.
