Claudia Jordan wore a tailored black pantsuit with a gold chain necklace and striped clutch at the 57th NAACP Image Awards Brunch.
There’s something quietly confident about showing up to an award-season brunch in a black suit — and Claudia Jordan clearly got the memo. At the 57th NAACP Image Awards Nominees Brunch in Los Angeles, she opted for structure rather than shimmer, and it works.
The look is all clean tailoring: a fitted blazer fastened with a single gold button, layered over a matching straight-cut top and slim trousers that flare lightly at the hem. The tailored lines hold firm without feeling rigid — it’s a suit with ease. The gold statement necklace loops elegantly across her neckline, adding polish and a bit of personality.
A black-and-white striped clutch gives the outfit rhythm — bold enough to catch the eye, but still classic. Open-toe heels finish it off with a grounded kind of polish. I think this is the kind of outfit that reminds people that simplicity isn’t the absence of style. It’s the control of it.
Now, if you’ve got a semi-formal event appearance in your future — charity brunch, press panel, or even a brand launch — this formula works. Monochrome base, one accent detail, confident tailoring. It’s wearable in the real world and photograph-ready without fuss.
To me, this is what modern red-carpet calm looks like — no need to shout when the fit already says everything.
Ciara wore a shearling moto jacket with a furry leather micro skirt and lace-up boots to The One Party by Uber in San Francisco 2026.
At this point, Ciara doesn’t show up to an event appearance — she stomps into it. At The One Party by Uber in San Francisco, she pulled together a look that felt like a fusion of ski lodge drama and backstage pass energy.
The anchor piece? An oversized shearling and leather jacket — brown body, bleach-white texture exploding from the sleeves and collar, dyed black around the shoulders like it got hit with smoke. Drama jacket. Can’t ignore it.
Underneath, a black bodysuit or tank , low-cut and fitted, nothing trying to compete with the outerwear. All that volume needed balance. Then came the patchwork leather mini skirt , glossy, paneled, embellished with a cutout varsity-style “Y” applique and fur trim near the hem. Raw-edge lace peeking out underneath softens it—but not too much.
The belt literally just says “SEKS” in silver metal. Not subtle. She knew that. That’s why it’s there.
Lace-up black platform heels finished it. High enough to hurt, sharp enough to say “don’t test me.” Hair parted down the middle, high-shine, pin-straight. A simple cross necklace and some icy rings sealed it off.
This kind of celebrity event look works because it’s not polished for the sake of polish. It’s pushed around the edges, just like a party this chaotic should be. No cohesion required. In fact, it hits harder when you know it wasn’t chasing harmony.
One word? Unbothered.
We’re still deep into the leather-fur hybrid styling wave—especially when mixed with logos, absurdity, and fake sports references. It’s less “fashion-forward” and more “fashion-fever dream.” In the best way.
Would you ever wear a belt that just says “SEKS,” or is that a step too ironic?
Alexis Oakley wore a black corset top, lace tights, and stilettos at The One Party by Uber in San Francisco on February 6, 2026.
Alexis Oakley showed up to The One Party by Uber in San Francisco with an outfit that said: I’m here, I’m built for flash photography, and I didn’t overthink it. The yellow carpet was chaotic, but she kept it clean—and bold.
She wore a black asymmetric corset with a slight peplum flare and a deep curved neckline—structured but not harsh, with visible seams and a subtle unfinished edge vibe. Paired it with black mini shorts , barely visible under the hemline when photographed head-on, which makes the transition into the legs feel instant.
And let’s talk about the legs—fully covered in sheer black lace tights , the kind that instantly turn a basic mini moment into something with personality. No pattern mixing. No sparkle. Just tactile texture. The lace adds just enough excess. Matched with classic glossy black pointed stilettos , everything is cinched, lifted, extended.
Hair was loose, glossy, carved into subtle waves. Her makeup leaned warm-toned—bronzed lids, overlined nude lips, fresh but not fussy. No dress. No gown. Just the kind of event appearance that says, “I read the room—then decided to make it smaller.”
This was well executed. Nothing caught between trends. Nothing screaming. Just confident fabrics and clarity of vibe.
Bottom line: When lace tights carry this much weight, the rest of the outfit needs to get out of the way—and that’s exactly what it did.
