Bonang
Starting us off at the 2014 MTV African Music Awards (MAMAs) held in KwaZulu-Natal, SA last week, is South African model and entrepreneur, Bonang Matheba, who looked royally gorgeous, stunning onlookers in an emerald green number with sexy, embellished cutouts and an asymmetric shoulder cape. How better to kick off our list of unforgettable looks than with this one? #Wow.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, Khloe – who flew in for the MAMAs with her boyfriend, French Montana – made a sleek red carpet appearance in a drapey, metallic Lanvin gown that hugged her curves and accentuated her voluptuous body. We loved this.

White on White always looks fresh and trendy if you know how to own it, and that's exactly what VJ Ehiz did for the MAMAs. Pairing his white suit with a scarf-like shirt and a hair band to keep his look clean
White on white always looks fresh and is so on-trend for Spring/Summer’14. Showing us how to own the look is VJ Ehiz, who rocked his well for the MAMAs, pairing a white suit with a scarf print shirt and a hair band to keep his look clean. Fellas, do you rate it?

At the Opening Reception of the 2014 Maui Film Festival, the stunning actress went bold in a custom-made Stretch Silk Dress from Calvin Klein Collection. It only took a few seconds to become captivated by the frock’s colorblocked hue and the look’s chic accessories including: Christian Louboutin Gwynitta sandals, Vita Fede’s Double Titan Stone Earrings in Silver, and a $200 Vita Fede Omega Ring in Silver. Only nine months on the scene and Lupita is delivering ensembles like this at every turn — I can say with certainty that we’re all looking forward to what she wears next.
For the opening reception of the 2014 Maui Film Festival, Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong’o went bold in a custom-made stretch silk dress from Calvin Klein, which she styled with of-the-moment minimal, strappy shoes. We can’t help but love the colour-blocked hues on Lupita’s skin and we so want her Christian Louboutin Gwynitta sandals. Chic!

Samuel L. Jackson is making it into our recap for the first time! He taught all the gents a style lesson on the red carpet of the 2014 Glamour Women of the Year Awards in London. It was all about eye-catching hues as Mr. Jackson donned an aqua suit from Richard James, with a green tie and colorful printed shirt to boot. We couldn’t tear our eyes away from this look. Hey there, Mr. Jackson!
And still on bright, colour-blocked looks, we spied actor Samuel L. Jackson in a daring ensemble for Glamour Magazine‘s 2014 Glamour Women of the Year Awards in London. Rocking an aqua-hued suit from Richard James with a green tie and colourful printed shirt, we think Samuel looked amazing… Agreed?

Have you all seen Belle yet? I implore you to do so: it’s a wonderful film! The movie’s star, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, took to its London Premiere in a Martin Grant Spring 2013 Black Strapless Pleated Playsuit and $795 Christian Louboutin Pigalace Pumps:
Showing off a hot pair of legs, pretty makeup and sleek hair with a Martin Grant Spring’13 pleated playsuit, actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw stunned on the carpet at the London Premiere of Belle, looking beautiful as ever.

Rachel Zoe slayed in a zebra print gown from the brand. Gucci beauty launch event
And absolutely slaying with her style, is celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe who wore a zebra print gown from Gucci for the brand’s beauty launch event last week. We love the silhouette, the print and the simple, chic styling. What can we say? She’s a pro.

Over at the 2014 Tony Awards, Anika Noni Rose radiated in a Badgley Mischka Fall'14 shoulder-baring, wispy number made of chiffon, and featuring a tiered skirt and super hot side slit. We love her braided updo and smokey eyes, which complimented the look so well.

Sophie Okonedo
And lastly, with her flawless makeup, simple bun, silk-velvet dress from Sophie Theallet’s Fall’14 collection, is British-Nigerian actress Sophie Okonedo, who did sensual so well with a modest plunging neckline. While this star can be a little hit and miss with her style, last week she certainly made our hit-list of hot looks, and we can’t wait to see what she steps out in next…
