Cardi B is in her Y2K schoolgirl era, and we are here for it. Whether stunting on Instagram or, more recently, sitting courtside at the New York Knicks game, the “Enough” rapper is on her nostalgic slay.
She has us going down fashion’s memory lane in the best way possible. So, let’s talk about it.
Cardi B recently attended a New York Knicks game alongside her on-again, off-again beau and business partner, Offset. The two turned heads, not just because they tend to make a scene wherever they go, but also because they each brought a lewk to Madison Square Garden.
Their fits were a slam dunk.
Offset wore a leather bomber jacket, skinny jeans, and cowboy boots. His outfit’s primary colors were red, white and black. The hip-hop influencer gave off rockstar vibes with a street-style edge.

Conversely, Cardi B rocked an ensemble that would fit right onto the set of a 2000s primetime sitcom or Brittney Spears’s Baby One More Time music video. She wore a cropped blue and white small-checkered shirt, brown and blue plaid pleated mini, and fun fuzzy boots.
The mother-of-two completed the look with a stunning Birkin, clear-rimmed sunglasses, and pink hairclips (which we are obsessed with). From celebrity makeup artist Bella Mayven’s Tuhlz line, the Creaseless Hairclips accessorized Cardi’s Japanese-style bang unit.
Talk about Y2K schoolgirl chic. We are swooning!
See shots of Cardi B’s fit captured by STS and Splash News.
Cardi’s courtside couture was everything we love about Y2K style. Her fit was gaudy, over-the-top, playfully flirty, and accessory-forward. Even her glasses gave a nod to the smart and techy vibes of the period’s innovators.
Y2K became the memorable name of the 2000s fashion trend because of a doomsday computer glitch that never happened. In society, it referred to a feared technological change at the turn of the century. In fashion, it meant being playful, artistic, fantastical, and a little sexy.
Enter Cardi B’s style moment.
While the world embraced potential changes in tech, fashion lovers took on accessories and whimsical styles. Think chunky hair clips like Cardi’s, fluffy backpacks with keychains galore, trucker hats that were always a little beat up, and layers of colorful beaded necklaces.
Described by Vogue as “tacky-chic,” Y2K was defined by one’s stacked accessories and details. The girlies that got it – got (and wore) everything!
Cardi also took a fresh take on the trend, posing on Instagram on April 21. She wore a cropped screen tee, miniskirt, white knee-high socks, and platform shoes. Mini bows in her hair and on her socks topped off her schoolgirl slay.
Cardi B is a fashion girl’s fashion girl.
Y2K was such an iconic era that we aren’t surprised the fashion icon chose to revamp the trends and bring them back (again) into the style conversation. While we talk about the future of fashion, items from the past will always have a place.
So, let’s take style notes from Cardi B and have fun while accessorizing them.

Doja Cat is out here being ‘Doja.’
Following a fabulous Coachella stage showing, the avant-garde artist continues to bring the unexpected and give the fashion girlies some serious style inspiration.
The “Say So” artist’s most recent unforgettable style moment occurred on April 28 at the Daily Front Row Fashion Los Angeles Awards. Doja arrived on the event’s red carpet, telling a fashion story that included a glass of wine, a vintage suitcase with clothes, and a fur coat, among other things.
Talk about a fashion statement. Let’s get into the details.
Doja was among several ‘haute’ celebrities turning heads at the Daily Front Row soiree. The 8th annual awards show celebrated fashion at its best, highlighting insiders, influencers, models, and stylists.
With a guest list full of “Best Dressed” risk takers, the ceremony’s dress code was “anything goes.” And Doja Cat exemplified the event’s theme and style essence.
Doja attended the event hand in hand with her stylist, Brett Alan Nelson, who received the “Music Stylist Of The Year” Award later in the evening. The two were a beautiful fashion mess with filled wine glasses as their main accessory.
Doja’s complete outfit included a cream lingerie set styled with matching cream stockings and natural tan and white fur. She topped off her look with black wide-lens frames, cream satin mule shoes, and a vintage suitcase. As an extra touch, sexy garments spilled from Doja’s travel bag.
The 28-year-old’s “Reclaimed” fur coat and “The Getaway” suitcase are from Mark Gong’s Autumn/Winter 2024 collection.
See Doja’s runway red carpet look below.
We are gagging over Doja’s fur-filled red carpet slay. Not only does her ensemble have people talking, but it also continues to show the rapper’s commitment to eye-catching couture.
Doja Cat is a fashion girlie’s fashion girl – and she comes alive with every daring designer moment.

Are you interested in wearing a bob but don’t want to cut your natural hair? You may want to try a quick weave option like Jess Hilarious.
The mommy-to-be debuted a new bob over the weekend—and it’s a banger. Her new style is sleek, chic, and on-trend for the warm spring and summer months.
RELATED: Jess Hilarious Reveals She’s Pregnant On ‘The Breakfast Club‘
We are gagging over The Breakfast Club host’s head-turning hair moment.
Jess‘s bob has a dark hue, soft curls, and stacked layers on layers. Breaking your neck with Jess’ new hairstyle just might be worth it.
Yes, Sis, the bob is bobbing.
Stylist Courtney Pinkk shared a video of the Baltimore native admiring herself once the fresh cut was finished. With her natural skin on glow and an all-black casual set on, Jess smiled from ear to ear and stuck her tongue out coyly in approval.
“Jess, who? It’s Bob Hilarious,” the stylish comedian joked in the salon capture. “Ha! It’s a real f-kin’ bob, OK?!”
Courtney added the hashtags #quickweavebob and #leaveoutquickweave to her reel caption. The Atlanta professional also confirmed with HB that Jess’ style is a quick weave with minimal leaveout.
Jess also shared pictures and videos of her new ‘do on her Instagram profile. She posted a mirror video of her finished look and dropped a carousel post slaying in the sassy style.
In the pictures, Jess shows her growing baby bump in a yellow two-piece cropped top and miniskirt set. She accessorizes her outfit with a green purse and strappy heels.
While we love the media influencer’s new cut, we aren’t surprised by its flawless fabulousness. Let’s face it: bobs are life.
The chic styles can be sexy, stylish, and fun all at once. Maintenance is minimal, and depending on how you wear it, the hair look gives grown-woman vibes or a young, flirty era.
Whether worn long, asymmetrical, with a buss-down middle part, or with a side bang, bobs have us all in a chokehold with no plans of letting up. But though we admire the style, taking the leap to chop our own natural hair to achieve it sometimes causes pause.
That’s why we are so inspired by Jess’s hair transformation.
Utilizing a quick weave method lets the girlies try the bob while keeping other options open for their natural tresses. Well-done quick weaves also double as protective styles.
So, as you consider switching up your hair this season, take a style note from Jess aka “Bob” Hilarious. The quick weave bob may be the shear slay for you.

Amanda Seales acquired a reputation for being aggressive and difficult, but on a recent episode of former football tight end Shannon Sharpe’s podcast “Club Shay Shay,” the actress set the record straight. The three-hour and 10-minute interview allowed the “Smart, Funny & Black” creator to open up regarding her time on “Insecure,” her recent autism diagnosis, and how she deals with the labels the industry assigned to her.
*Editor’s note- Despite Seales saying “I was just recently diagnosed (with Autism Spectrum Disorder),” a clip from an Instagram Live has resurfaced where the actress says she has not been clinically diagnosed with autism by a doctor. It is unclear if the live occurred before her diagnosis or if she self-diagnosed.
Seales contributed over 30 years to the entertainment industry. In 1993, she made her first movie appearance with a small role in “Cop and a Half.” The following year, she joined the cast of the Nickelodeon sitcom, “My Brother and Me.” She eventually landed a gig as the VJ of MTV2’s “Sucker Free Countdown.” But her most notable role came in 2016 when she joined season one of “Insecure” as Tiffany DuBois, the bougie homegirl to Issa Dee’s (played by Issa Rae) unique friend group, which included Molly Carter, played by Yvonne Orji, and Kelli, played by Natasha Rothwell.
For five seasons, fans watched the dynamic group of ladies from “Insecure” navigate the ups and downs of careers, relationships, and friendships. As we witnessed the crumbling of the Issa and Molly empire play out onscreen, things seemed just as tumultuous behind the scenes. Rumors began to circulate, labeling Seales as problematic, defiant, and challenging to work with—but we’ll come back to this later.
Seales embodies the passion of our greatest ancestors. But her strong voice, backed by her Master’s degree in African American studies with a concentration in Hip-Hop from Columbia University, villainized her as a militant, angry Black woman. When she used her platform to advocate for Black people and our rights or simply shared her opinion on various topics, people found her delivery hard to digest because it was curt, direct, and wrapped in passion—often mischaracterized as aggression.
Rumors of Seales being difficult to work with started before “Insecure.” In 2007, her short stint in the classic R&B group Floetry dissolved before she could thrive as Natalie Stewart’s replacement. Fans weren’t informed about the switch-up, so when Seales popped up on tour with Marsha Ambrosius, she was met with a disgruntled welcome. In an interview with “The Breakfast Club,” she explains that she felt unsupported as fans protested her position as the new member. She finished the tour but ultimately left the group because it wasn’t a good fit.
In 2019 Seales appeared as a guest host of the daytime talk show “The Real.” This felt like a great fit for the actress because it provided her the space to voice her opinions and dissect current events in pop culture. Seales became a permanent co-host in 2020, but six months later she left the show because she felt stifled.

“It doesn’t feel good to my soul to be at a place where I can not speak to my people the way they need to be spoken to,” she said in an Instagram Live video. “And where the people that are speaking to me in despairing ways are not being handled.”
She continued, “I’m not at a space where, as a full black woman, I can have my voice and my co-workers also have their voices, and where the people at the top are not respecting the necessity for black voices to be at the top, too.”
The world has become comfortable with silencing Black voices, specifically ones who aren’t fearful of repercussions. Seales’ revolutionary spirit makes people uncomfortable, and her innate instinct to stand up for what she believes in, even if she is standing alone, is how she’s earned the title of being challenging. In her “Club Shay Shay” interview, we see a different side of the “Insecure” actress, who is notoriously misunderstood due to her passion, delivery, and authenticity.
I learned so much about the author, actress, media personality, podcaster, poet, advocate and comedian, particularly her patience, exemplified during the moments when Sharpe could not fully understand Seales’ perspective or empathize with her experience. Even in the seemingly safe space provided for her to clear the air, the actress handled miscommunications with grace and patience. She proves that no matter your tone, people may have already committed to misunderstanding you.
If you have three hours and ten minutes to spare, you can catch the full interview here. If not, here are five things we learned from Amanda Seales’ interview with Shannon Sharpe.

For many, red is the color of love, which might be why Draya Michele chose the bold hue for her recent shower to welcome her baby girl. According to video and pictures released by The Shade Room, the gorgeous mommy-to-be and her beau, Jalen Green, held an adorable red-filled soiree on April 21 to honor their pending baby’s arrival.
“OK now, party because I can’t, so you guys do it for me,” the glowing mother joked in the shared content.
In the social media video, Draya stood beside Jalen in an outdoor setting. The two have the mic at the DJ booth, surrounded by greenery and red decorations, including a deep red tablecloth with red flowers, desserts, and food.

As Jalen thanked the crowd for attending, friends and family cheered on the new parents.
Draya, who is entering her final month of pregnancy, oozes “sexy mama” in a cherry red two-piece with rosette details, drapery, and a wine-colored duster. Her hair was swept up in a romantic updo style, framing her face. Draya’s dark tresses were slicked back on one side with a curled bang cascading down the other. Jalen matches Draya’s fly in a red and white striped collared tunic and wide-leg pant set.
See The Shade Room video of the event below.
Draya’s baby girl will be her third child. She has two sons from previous relationships, Kniko Howard and Jru Scandrick.
Throughout her pregnancy, the “Basketball Wives” star has celebrated significant moments. The bombshell beauty has also shared vulnerable experiences with fans regarding body changes and feelings.
On April 8, she wrote, “I am in such a renewing space right now. Doing all the things I can to stay healthy and positive during my pregnancy and listening to my elders and their superstitions because the way evil is projected in this world right now against pregnant women, I can’t take any chances. 
love + light to everyone out there doing their best. #8months.”
The 39-year-old has also unapologetically been ‘bumping around town’ in looks we love. She joins a long list of expecting mothers redefining maternity fashion and finding beautiful ways to display their growing bumps.
We are swooning over how she continues to show her personality and aesthetic through personal style.
Draya’s maternity fits have included a mix of sportswear from brands like Fabletics, comfy jeans, crop t-shirts, and coordinates from brands like Fashionova. Draya also loves a good designer brand, rocking luxury labels like Loewe and Alexander Wang.
Below is one of our favorite maternity looks from the style slayer. Though we are nearing the end of her pregnancy, we will forever gag over Draya’s head-turning style.

Ashanti and her adorable baby bump have stolen the hearts of many. This past weekend, “they” made their first official stage performance appearance together in Mississippi.
Dare we call it a mainstage “mommy and me” moment?
On Saturday, April 20, Ashanti was in concert at Studio A at the IP Casino Resort and Spa in Biloxi, Mississippi. Social media captures show the crowd going wild as soon as Ashanti and her exposed baby bump hit the stage.
As expected, the mommy-to-be is gorgeous and glowing. Ditching previously seen stage fits like oversized t-shirts and sweat jackets, Ashanti let her every curve and part of her growing baby bump show.
Last night’s performance was her moment, and the crowd could not get enough.
While singing old-school hits like “Baby” and “Body on Me,” the 43-year-old wore a one-piece black body suit that screamed “grown woman.” She accessorized the garment with a cropped studded and sequin leather bomber and black knee-high boots. (Ashanti reportedly took off her footwear during the set while hitting dance moves).
The newly engaged fiance’s hair and makeup were also on point during the performance. Ashanti rocked a high ponytail with swooped baby hairs and shiny glam makeup.
See the video shared by The YBF below.
Since her official baby and engagement announcement with Nelly went live on Thursday, April 17, the internet lit up with congratulations, well wishes, and love.
It’s safe to say Ashanti and Nelly’s fans are invested and now officially on baby watch. As self-proclaimed online aunties and uncles, we cannot wait to see the couple’s bundle of joy and pending nuptials.
Fans – and fashion lovers – are also watching for more of Ashanti’s upcoming maternity style. Known for her furs, leather boots, and bright colors, we do not doubt that the New York native will bring it (with baby).
We are already gagging over a gorgeous blue dress worn by Ashanti last week as she and Nelly announced their exciting news to the world. Taking the POSSIBLE marketing stage to discuss her new business venture, prooV, the singer wore a caped-sleeve figure-hugging bodycon.
See her beautiful blue look on the stage below.

Spin-the-Block. Hip-Hop Royalty. Couples Goals. These are all words and phrases we’ve used to describe the infectious rekindling romance of Nelly and Ashanti.
Since they burst back on the scene together last fall with pictures, videos, and shared performances, we’ve been more than invested. We love to see it, and even the most cynical of love seems to be rooting for them.
This week, the couple’s official baby announcement and engagement added a flood of congratulations their way. Nelly and Ashanti nearly broke the internet with their love.
Even more endearing is that many of us feel like we have an internet baby shower and wedding to plan. Knowing the couple- with their lavish events and parties – we are sure they will celebrate big.
As we await our invitations, let’s look back at Nelly and Ashanti’s romance. It is one for the ages – going back two decades- with exciting new chapters to discover.
Here are the key highlights.

What we now know as Nelly and Ashanti began at a press conference during the 2003 Grammy Awards. Sparks flew at the event, and rumors spread immediately following. But the two remained quiet about their official dating status.
Ashanti joked on a VH1 Behind the Music special, “The first time I met Nelly, he asked me for my autograph, but I think he was being sarcastic, and I remember writing it down on the program.”

Despite public appearances and music collaborations, such as the song “Switch” in 2007, Nelly and Ashanti mainly remained quiet about their relationship. Various news outlets have also reported that Ashanti downplayed their relationship, saying they had “gone out” and dated but weren’t officially an item. Adorable photos of the couple, however, kept rumors going.

By 2008, Ashanti had spoken more publicly about her relationship with Nelly. The “Baby” singer alluded to a more serious relationship but refused questions about an engagement and denied a confirmation.
In 2009, Nelly released the “Body On Me” music video featuring Ashanti. The chemistry between the two hip-hop artists was undeniable.
By 2012, rumors of a pending breakup were widespread. Some point to a 2010 Rap-Up TV interview with Nelly as a turning point.
During the conversation, Nelly said that he and Ashanti were just friends and that he was not ready to get married. The “Country Grammar” artist continued in the interview, saying he was “married to his work.”

After years of dating and appearances, news broke in 2013 that Nelly and Ashanti had officially called it quits. Ashanti later opened up about feeling betrayed but also said several times that they “were cool” and still friends.

Following their official breakup, Ashanti and Nelly dated others off and on. They weren’t seen publicly together until 2021.
In that year, Nelly and Ashanti reunited during a Verzuz performance with Ja Rule and Fat Joe. Cameras caught Nelly walking across the stage to hug Ashanti, which caught the beauty off-guard. Following the social media show, Ashanti shared her surprise on Instagram Live.
Later, in 2022, the pair performed together at a surprise holiday concert, causing a stir. They delivered a sweet, sexy performance of their hit “Body On Me.” Rumors of a rekindled romance spread like wildfire.

By the summer of 2023, the couple appeared together on their first red carpet since 2012, shared social media jokes and moments, and celebrated birthdays together.

Someone queue up “Jolene” by Beyoncé Knowles Carter because Simone Biles said, ‘She’s going to stick by her man, and her man is going to stick by her.’ Breaking her silence after receiving social media backlash for an interview in which her husband, Jonathan Owens, said he considered himself “the catch” in their relationship, the Olympian shared her thoughts on the conversation and controversy.
Keep reading to see what she said during a wide-ranging interview with the “Call Her Daddy” podcast on April 17.
To Simone’s surprise, the internet went into a frenzy after snippets of her husband on The Pivot podcast went viral in late December 2023. “I thought everything was OK, and then I go on Twitter and everybody’s like, ‘Divorce this man. He’s mean!’” Simone told the “Call Her Daddy” host this week. “I’m like, ‘He’s the sweetest. He praises the ground that I walk on.’ Truly, I’ve never met a man like him … he truly goes out of his way to do anything for me.”

Simone also defended her husband, saying his words were misunderstood. She explained that while Jonathan called himself a catch he never said that she was also not one.
At the time of her husband’s interview, the young bride was in the room, listening to the recording live. Simone says she loves to support Jonathan and was happy for him to have his moment to shine.

But while she cheered him on and felt secure in her marriage, she’s human. “I thought it was hilarious at first, and then it hurt my feelings,” the sports icon said. Then Simone’s feelings turned.
She continued, “One night, I broke down, and I’m like, ‘Why are you guys talking about my husband like this? You don’t know him’… That really hurt. For me, it’s like, talk about me all you want, but don’t come for my family, never.”
In addition to getting candid about her feelings after social media reaction to her husband’s comments, Simone also opened up about other struggles. The decorated gymnast discussed the challenges she faces within the sports industry and how she manages being in the public eye. Simone remains an advocate for mental health, wellness, and self-care.
Simone’s podcast interview comes amid big changes for her and her hubby. Jonathan – formerly with the Green Bay Packers – is now signed to the Chicago Bears. And Simone remains one of the most talked-about gymnasts in the world. Her fans hope to see her take the global stage at the Paris Olympics in less than 100 days.
Blissfully in love, the two are undoubtedly a super sports dynasty duo in the making. We are rooting for them!

Rihanna has the fashion girlies in a state of confusion – in a good way. As we enter the warmer months of the year, the Savage Fenty mogul has been seen slaying the streets of Los Angeles in a cold-season staple: Fur.
Attending Coachella’s first weekend, she accessorized two looks with over-the-top fur coats. Just a few days earlier, the “Umbrella” singer went to dinner wearing a cheetah-print mini dress and Louis Vuitton fur purse, leading many fashionistas to compare her fit to the mob wife aesthetic.
HB published a story about the dinner look, highlighting Ri Ri’s mob style and nod to ‘vintage Lil’ Kim fabulousness.’
While Rihanna is known to be a fearless fashion icon who sets trends and plays by her own rules, her latest fur-tastic fits have us asking ourselves, “Is fur this season’s hottest trend?” To answer the question, let’s break down her recent Coachella fits.
With three days of Coachella behind us, social media has been abuzz with festival commentary and celebrity-style reviews. Celebrities rocked it, from the performers on stage to the attendees at the parties. And, yes, they have looked fabulous all weekend long.
Stars like Karrueche Tran, Halle Bailey, and Ryan Destiny chose a minimalist aesthetic, while Rihanna slayed in the exact opposite. Pushing the boundaries of spring festival fashion, she adorned two maximalist looks with furs.
The mother of two’s first ensemble included a charcoal grey screened tee, a black leather mini skirt, oversized slouchy leather boots, and layers of silver chains. A larger-than-life cream fur added extra fabulousness to her festival attire.
It’s important to note that Rihanna’s forever bae, A$ AP Rocky, also rocked fur. He carried a white fur multicolored Louis Vuitton monogram tote.
Rihanna also wore fur to support A$ AP’s stage moment on Day 3. She opted for a pea-green screen tee, boxers, and a tied jacket around her waist. A fur coat and cream boots pulled the layered look together.
Both looks scream “rockstar” and ooze main character energy. Who wouldn’t want to bring these vibes into spring?
While many would argue that Coachella is a fashion-free-for-all where anything goes, the repeated occurrences of the fuzzy fabric have us talking. Rihanna’s style proves anything goes when it comes to fashion.
We make our own rules.
Cozy fur fabrics may not be your thing this spring, but don’t be afraid to take a risk with another style choice. This season, it’s all about unleashing your inner icon and setting your own trends.

Angel Reese hit the court this weekend—but not the way many have seen her do it over the past few months (or most of her college career). The Bayou Barbie was spotted on April 12 sitting courtside at the New York Knicks-Brooklyn Nets game.
Spoiler Alert: The future WNBA player looked fabulous.
With the 2024 NCAA tournament and her esteemed college career behind her, Angel was all smiles at the packed game. She wore a brown see-through bodysuit with mock black tattoos sprawling across the sexy garment. The former LSU player accessorized her look with black and silver hooded stacked boots and a matching black leather purse.

Her hair was styled in a buss-down middle part. And, her face card was on permanent ‘do not decline’ with a natural beat.
Madison Square Garden lit up once cameras spotted the star college player. Angel, who officially enters the draft on Monday, April 15, posed with the peace sign for photographers and threw up hearts for fans.
Social media also started buzzing after pictures and videos of her courtside went viral. Some commenters even tried to guess what Angel was saying while at the game.
this is not what i said lmaooo i don’t have a man AT ALL. https://t.co/554t9R95BE
— Angel Reese (@Reese10Angel) April 13, 2024
The frenzy over Angel’s fit—and possible comments while at the game—exemplifies how celebrities, fashion, and basketball go together real bad. Basketball is not just a sport; it’s a cultural phenomenon, and courtside seats for A-listers are at the center of the excitement.
The coveted spots have become a buzzy area for Hollywood’s elite. One cute courtside outfit can make headlines, and fans gag over the who’s-who seen together kicking it and enjoying games.
Further, the impact of basketball on fashion – and vice versa – is undeniable. From iconic sneakers and funky streetwear brands to NBA star athlete attire and innovative fashion collabs, the two are a slam dunk.
In honor of Angel’s head-turning hardwood moment, we’ve pulled looks from some of our favorite celebs sitting courtside.
