2014 BET Awards Red Carpet dominated by WHITE (UPDATED PHOTOS)

Posted on June 29, 2014

Tamar Braxton-Herbert, Amber Rose, Eva Marcille, Apryl Jones and Gugu Mbatha-Raw all wore White to the 2014 BET Awards at the Nokia Theater at LA LIVE in Los Angeles, California on June 29, 2014.

UPDATED: It seemed like WHITE was the color of the evening on Sunday night’s 2014 BET Awards red carpet. Several of our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums and other celebs went with the summer shade while working the arrivals to the annual show at the Nokia Theater at LA LIVE in Los Angeles, California.

Jennifer Freeman, Holly Robinson-Peete and Tamera Mowry-Housley looked fab and glam in gorgeous in their red carpet looks.

We spotted several brand new moms including Kerry Washington and Eva Marcille, both who welcomed their first child, respectively this year. Here is what they and other celeb moms who we have covered in the past looked like and who they wore:

Kerry Washington, who welcomed a daughter, Isabelle Amarachi Asomugha with husband Nnamdi Asomugha on April 21 wore the Dolce and Gabbana strapless cotton silk brocade dress (GET IT HERE) accented with a green clutch and Casadei pumps in Summer white.

Eva Marcille went with a fitted white SEN Couture dress showing off her bounced back body after welcoming daughter Marley with Kevin McCall in February this year.

My Wife and Kids alum Jennifer Freeman was gorgeous in a floor length hot pink Michael Costello gown.

Amber Rose showed off her tiny waist cinching it with a gold colored belt around the middle of her long sleeved V-neck dress. She barely smiled because her mind was on son Sebastian who she cut out on the award show mid-broadcast to go home and see. Awwww! That’s realness right there.

Omarion is expecting with his girlfriend Apryl Jones who also did white and long fishtail train similar to the sheer style she wore for her coral-themed baby shower last week.

Tamar Braxton-Herbert, who had a fainting spell while performing last week, went va-va-voom in a white jersey SEN Couture dress though she looked to need a little more support to really polish off the look which she accentuated with gold clutch and jewels and Christian Louboutin pumps.

Holly Robinson-Peete showed off one of her best assets: her strong shoulders in a peach one shoulder dress.

Tamera Mowry-Housley is gorge in a fitted Yigal Azrouël python leather zip up mini dress. Not seen in this pic are her fab Saint Laurent Snake Embossed Silver and Black Cap Toe Pumps.

Interesting mesh and satin dress and strappy wrapped pumps there Kyla Pratt. The mom to 3 1/2 year old Lyric Kai Kilpatrick and another daughter born last August with beau Danny Kilpatrick and actress was giving “tude” and Face on the red carpet. Love the confidence.

Oh Hi Tameka “Tiny” Harris. Going with the Little Black Mermaid scales dress we see. hmmmm.

Expecting Celebs Are Rocking Braids Protective Hair Style

Posted on December 9, 2017

I’ve long believed that braided hairstyles are the best style to wear for your last trimester of pregnancy leading up to labor and delivery and shortly thereafter.

Why? The style requires very little maintenance after installed and can be kept in for a longer while. Once a silk head wrap is worn at night, the style remains neat without having to be loosened, washed and re-braided daily.

That’s great when you’re too busy nesting, adjusting to the aches and pains of preparing for birth and thereafter when your time is consumed with caring for your newborn.

Several of the celeb women we follow who are currently pregnant have been wearing braided protective style of late: Tia Mowry and Toya Wright are going with cornrows and Eva Marcille is rocking faux locs.

Its been a while but the locs are coming back!!! Gotta love protective styles??

Tia Mowry too

“The best time to love with your whole heart is always now, in this moment, because no breath beyond the current is promised.” -Fawn Weaver. Life is short, hold on tight to the ones you love.

How Our Fave Celeb Moms Celebrated the Fourth of July Weekend

Posted on July 5, 2016

We’re baaaack!!!!!

We hope everyone enjoyed their Fourth of July/Independence Day weekend. I know I did! It was actually great not having to post or worry about content for few days while the blog was down for maintenance since Saturday. I got a chance to relax a little bit. I came up for air to surf the social media accounts of some of the celebrity women we’ve featured on the blog over the years. I literally got lost in the great pics and some of the off-the-wall comments these women get. Some of it is really mind-blowing, a few very mean, but mostly supportive and uplifting.

Here is a little roundup of a few of them and how they celebrated over the weekend.

BET Awards Arrivals, Beyonce and DJ Khaled’s Pregnant Fiance

Posted on June 27, 2016

The BET Awards went down last night, June 26, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California. The celebration included awards, performances and several tributes to the late great pop icon Prince.

Instead of a red carpet, stars like our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums Fantasia, Tia Mowry, Alicia Keys and Eva Marcille walked the white carpet in some very fashion forward designs.

A blog fave Beyonce hit the stage to perform her song “Freedom” off of her last project Lemonade. She was joined by rapper Kenderick Lamar. The two opened the show and shut it down at the same time! It was the best performance of the night in my opinion.

Finally, we peeped Mrs. Knowles tour mate DJ Khaled with his longtime girlfriend and now fiance Nicole Tuck who is in her second trimester pregnant with the couple’s first child. Tuck, a wardrobe stylist, and the famous recording artist reside in Miami.
