All week, the fashion temperature has steadily ascended to provoking heights. From fashion shows to book launches and everything in between, Black celebs seized each opportunity to render brilliant fashion. With another hectic week wrapping up, the goal for the weekend is often to engage in activities that boost our moods, easing off the stress. For you, whether that is meeting up with friends or gracing a music festival, celebrities have ensured you don’t hit a wall as to what to wear. As usual, we’ve curated the best offerings to reiterate your style-star status this weekend.
Be inspired by these fashionable celebrity looks from last week’s events…

Iconic singer, Mary J. Blige will always be a colorful and daring style girl who is unafraid to dress to her bidding. Recently, she overdosed on colors in true maximalist fashion. She paired a Tiffany blue mini skirt with a peach-and-Tiffany-blue blazer, and peach open-toe boots for more oomph. When replicating this look, you can rock one hue at a time if an explosion of color isn’t your thing. Otherwise, go bold like Ms. Blige when heading to an open-mic event.
#2. Tyla

South African sensation Tyla knows how to rock nudes, and we love it. For her Numero Netherlands 10th issue cover feature, the singer wore a Maison Alaia nude dress with Jimmy Choo pumps, “pumped” up with a voluminous hairdo for the razzle-dazzle. One can only picture a wine glass in hand as you stand in front of a work of art at a museum this weekend, looking like a masterpiece yourself.
#3. Coco Jones

Your weekend-style escapades would be incomplete without a proper party-girl outfit. Coco Jones gave a nod to effortless glam in a velvet cut-out dress styled with simple silver sandals and matching manis. Rock this for a night out with friends as the fabric and cut allow movement–enough to dance your way through the night.

The flip hairstyle may have been eclipsed by the short bob, but it still packs a punch. Sarah Jakes-Roberts flipped her hair and accompanied it with a sassy white pairing for her Power Moves book tour. Featuring an asymmetric blouse styled with loose-fitting pants, the ever-stylish Pastor delivered fashion with an uppercase “F.” Revive your weekend rhythm with this clean celebrity look when heading to a product launch.
#5. Lila Grace Moss

Beautiful model Lila Moss attended the Gucci London show in a yellow coordination by the brand. Featuring micro shorts styled with a fitted blazer, burgundy platform shoes, and a matching purse, the look was undoubtedly chic. Yellow has been quite the buzz this spring and is a perfect color to have in your arsenal. Walk boldly into a members-only meet-and-greet in this look and turn heads.
#6. Yvonne Orji
The stars are onto something this season with yellow. Different shades of yellow, from vibrant to mellow tints, are well-represented on the style streets this spring. Take a hint from Yvonne Orji and swap a black or navy blue suit for its yellow counterpart and shine without humility.
#7. Charithra Chandran

A leather fit has an unexplained allure. Charithra Chandran leveraged the texture’s appeal in a Tolu Coker ensemble that upped her natural charisma. The look, consisting of a skater skirt, a cropped halterneck top, and a long coat, was a sassy way to stand out. And let’s not forget her suede platform shoes that made for an interesting play of textures. Show some skin this weekend in this celebrity look when heading to a Jazz festival.
#8. Karrueche

Karrueche set the tone at a Jimmy Choo event rocking a see-through top and cropped pants. The clash of textures and easy-on-the-eye nature of the all-black fit resulted in a pleasurable sight. This weekend is a good time to try out a pixie cut and an all-black outfit for a Saturday night party.
#9. Nichelle Lewis

Broadway artist Nichelle Lewis is a full bag of talent. From serenading us at American Idol to starring as Dorothy in Broadway’s The Wiz, she delivers A+ every time. In a recent appearance for Town and Country Magazine, she showed that she understands fashion, too. Lewis elevated a black blazer dress with a blue button-down shirt, sheer tights, and studded pumps.

Sporty girls are the happiest, especially on relaxed weekends. If your list is filled with casual family events and informal soirées, an elevated athleisure fit meets the agenda. South African media girl, Bonang Matheba offers a valuable lesson in an oversized-jersey-and-distressed-jeans combo finished with comfy sneakers and a mini purse. Matheba pulled off the look with intentionality and confidence.
