Oscars 2020 Red Carpet

Regina King in Versace

It’s the last award show of the season! This year more than ever, it felt like it has flown by. I’m really excited to share these looks this evening though because we always expect to save the best for last. If I’m being honest, this last award show coinciding with the start of Fashion Week has felt like a lot. We’re a little bit “fashioned” out over here, but it just means that we won’t be returning back to this season again for a whole ‘nother year. Let’s make it a good one and end on a solid note.

Lakers Pay Tribute to Kobe and Gianna

It hasn’t been a full week yet since we heard the news of Gianna and Kobe Bryant’s passing last Sunday and the world is still grieving. For the Lakers’ first game after the news, the Staples Center paid tribute in a huge way. Everyone attending the game would receive a Kobe Bryant jersey. One side would receive “24” while the other side would receive “8.” Two seats on the sideline were decorated with roses to represent the two of them. Before the game had started, both Usher and Boyz II Men sang “Amazing Grace” and the “National Anthem” respectively. You may have seen it by now, but LeBron James also gave a heartwarming speech and dedication to Kobe.
