December 27, 2021 at 07:37PM If you were watching Insecure’s finale on Sunday night wondering if (hoping?!) Issa and Lawrence would end up together, you obviously weren’t alone; but if the other big pregunta on your mind was where Molly’s insane cutout top was from, you definitely weren’t the only one. According to costume designer Shiona Turini’s IGS, that was the question she got asked the most following the final show, because between the drama and the romance, we were admittedly distracted by this bit of sexy fashion. When the crew threw Issa a surprise birthday party in the last episode, it was a veritable buffet of standout looks with Issa in a khaki minidress, Kelli in a printed blazer, and Quoia in a shimmering layered look; but it was a full stop when we saw Molly in a long-sleeved black top with…

December 27, 2021 at 06:45PM With a first look at Issa, Molly, Kelli, and Tiffany’s outfits at their college reunion in episode one, Insecure’s fifth season would also be a fashion finale with a tour de force of looks. We were treated to a glimpse of the girls’ easy takes on denim, a sporty tracksuit and fresh plaid for Issa, and a memorable scene with Molly’s Amina Muaddi heels right off the bat, putting style front and center in their story. These covetable yet relatable looks are another testament to the expertise of costume designer Shiona Turini, who took the helm of the show’s wardrobe again for the last season. Between the Nathan-or-Lawrence drama, Shiona’s high-low wardrobing was a constant, balancing emerging labels and vintage items with favorites like Telfar. And, while Insecure has always made style a central theme; we venture to…

December 27, 2021 at 05:33PM The epitome of growth. On Dec. 26, Insecure wrapped up its fifth and final season, giving fans closure and characters happy endings in a string of flash-forwards. While the show has been centered around Issa Dee (Issa Rae), it’s her group of girls and their professional and personal plot lines that have kept us locked in since 2015, which is why it was so important for the finale to touch on each of them. But we’re here to talk about Molly (Yvonne Orji) and Taurean (Leonard Robinson) and their beautiful love story that was complete with a stunning Oscar de la Renta wedding dress. Fans were ecstatic to see Molly and Taurean tie the knot in a gorgeous European ceremony accompanied by bridesmaids in red dresses, a tear-jerking father-daughter dance, and a beautiful tribute to Molly’s late mother.…

December 27, 2021 at 04:23PM Gabrielle Union-Wade celebrated the end of the holiday season (and the entry into the new year) sitting poolside in a purple drawstring bikini by Andrea Iyamah. The glow of the sunset in the distance might have been one factor that led us to stop in our tracks, but the design detail is also pretty extraordinary. Featuring a striking cut that frames the bust with underwire and also gives way to ruched cap sleeves, the crop top is immaculate, while the bottom is gathered at the center and comes in a flattering high-rise silhouette. It’s no surprise we noticed - Nigerian designer Andrea Dumebi Iyamah, who is also famous for her striking resort wear, has been churning out pieces that celebrate her African heritage and her own contemporary take on femininity since 2011. You’d be hard-pressed to find a…
