Today is sadly my last day in Paris. For now. In just a few hours I’ll be headed back on a long flight back to the States, my oversized luggage in tow. After 20 years of Fashion Bomb Daily, every event feels more significant. As I was sitting in the Manish Malhotra show, looking around at the grand settings, I felt a tremendous sense of gratitude. Because of your support of my little blog, I am able to enter rooms…
Claire’s Life: Paris Haute Couture Day 2 Wearing Alaia, Louboutin, and Flore K NY Croc
So I REALLY slept in today and now I’m rushing! In my mind I have all the time in the world. Anyway. Yesterday, I bet on black to attend the Aziz, Stephane Rolland, and Georges Chakra shows. I unfortunately missed a show I was invited last minute to a show that started 30 minutes prior. But anyway, I was thrilled to meet the designer Georges Chakra and take a photo with him. The Chakra show was held in the building…
Claire’s Life: Paris Haute Couture Week Day 1 Wearing Balmain and Tony Ward
Happy Tuesday! Haute Couture Week in Paris kicked off yesterday!

The show was full of sequined, bejeweled pieces that would look perfect for any red carpet. I…
Claire’s Life: Attending the 2026 BET Awards Wearing a Shadiat Alasooke Green Mermaid Gown and Pink Piferi Heels
The 2026 BET Awards went down Sunday, and it’s taken me until Tuesday to recover! Imagine this: I walked the carpet at 1:30, went home to upload the myriad videos and interviews taken by our team from 2:30-4:30pm, freshened up, came back by 5pm, then fortuitously got seated in the 3rd row, mere steps away from Ms. Lauryn Hill (!!!). Did I mention, I was posting all during the show, all night, the following day, and this morning?!? We still…
Claire’s Life: Attending the 2026 Culture Creators Wearing an Atelier Ndigo Fringed Nori Dress, Flore K NY Himalayan Bag, and Femme LA Sandals
BET Awards festivities continued yesterday with the annual Culture Creators Event. Created by Joi Brown, the event acknowledges those who have made waves in the culture for the past year. I was honored to receive an award in 2024, so am always game to support the event! For the occasion, I wore a brand by Haitian designer Atelier Ndigo. I accessorized with a Flore K NY bag and Femme LA heels. I’m taking the day off today to relax before…
