Monica Brown is Our 2018 Posh Style Mom Icon!

It’s been a minute since we proclaimed a celebrity mom as a fashion style icon. After stalking Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum singer Monica Brown’s Instagram page and various presses sightings of the fabulous singer, the editors at Bellyitch have determined that the mom to stylish three is deserving to be our 2018 honoree!

For those unfamiliar, this recognition is given to a celebrity mom, usually one who has more than one child, who also has displayed effortless style, not necessarily created by a stylist, who inspires others and Monica is it!

We love the R&B recording artist’s  Instagram posts which are reminiscent of what you’d  see on any “it” Fashion Grammer or Style Blogger’s feed.

Monica’s fashion aesthetic consists of lots of bold colors, thigh high boots and chic dusters. She isn’t afraid to switch up her hair color from crimson, to pitch black to platinum. The mom of three, including 4-year old daughter Laiyah, 9-year old son Romelo and 12-year son Rocko,  has worn down her hair bone straight, in a croute pixie cut or intertwined in waist-length faux locs.

Her page is bright and totally themed out, similar to other influencers out there! See it HERE!

Ms. Brown can do no wrong in our book. The Atlanta-based philanthropist is married to NBA player Shannon Brown since 2010 when the two wed in a secret ceremony. Monica is also step mom to Shannon’s son Shannon Brown, Jr. from a previous relationship. Laiyah is the couple’s only child together as Rocko and Romelo’s dad is Monica’s ex, actor and rapper Rodney Hill, Jr also known as Rocko

The last time we named someone this honor was 2017 and it was given to philanthropist and end ex model Helen Lasichanh, Pharrell’s wife. Before her, the honor was given to Kourtney Kardashian in 2015. Before her, in 2014, Jennifer Hudson, who was the fourth mom to a single child to get the award. Before her, P!nk got it in 2012. And former First Lady Michelle Obama was dubbed an icon in 2011. Other designees include, Jada Pinkett Smith, Jennifer Lopez, Kelly RipaVictoria BeckhamTichina Arnold and  Christina Milian.

Here is a quick rundown of some of ourm fave looks Monica has rocked over the years as shared in her super fly Insta!

Report: Monica Brown is Expecting Her Fourth Child

Sources to notoriously accurate gossip blog  Fameolous are claiming that R&B singer Monica Brown is expecting her fourth child.

The site quoted a backstage snoop at one of “The Boy Is Mine” singer’s recent concerts who overheard Monica telling another friend that her daughter Laiyah asked her to dye her hair blue because she thinks her mom is having a baby boy.

Brown, who is married to NBA player Shannon Brown, has yet to confirm the news and is keeping the news to herself and close family until she is further along.

If it is a boy (or twins, some sources say she is expecting two), then it would be her third son. She has  a 13-year old son, Rocko and 10-year old son Romelo with her ex,  rapper Rodney ‘Rocko’ Hill.

This would be her second child with Brown, a former Cleveland Cavalier player who currently plays for the Wisconsin Herd.  In a recent photo of Monica with our more recent Bumpwatch alum, Blac Chyna, she wore a top that seemingly revealed a sizeable baby bump.  Time will tell.

Monica Brown and Kids Won Halloween This Year

Our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum Monica Brown’s children won the celebrity kids costume contest in our book!

The theme was ode to classic horror films and a half child dressed as a character from one of those well-known and watched films.

The R&B singer’s 4-year old daughter Laiyah was that creepy doll Annabelle.

Her sons 12-year old Rocko was Jason from the Halloween movie franchise…

…and 9-year old Romelo went as Chucky from Child’s Play and Monica herself was that frightful scary clown Pennywise from It!

Hubby NBA Milwaukee Bucks Shannon Brown diverted from the family theme and dressed as the character Anthony Curtis from the pop culture iconic Dead Presidents movie.

Laiyah had a second scary costume as a zombie princess

75+ Best Celebrity Halloween Costumes Over the Years

Over the course of Bellyitch’s 12+ years existence, we’ve featured some of the most creative costumes that celebrities have worn. In my opinion, Beyonce and Jay Z, along with Heidi Klum and Neil Patrick Harris, and his husband David Burtka and family, and Kim Kardashian West have really gone above and beyond each Halloween.

I would throw in Monica Brown in the mix too.

Halloween 2018: Superheroes Were Celeb Families’ Top Choice

Here are some additional amazing celebrity family Halloween costumes from this year that rocked! And one thing I’ve noticed while pulling this together using their respective Instagram photo shares is that the Super Heroes theme was the preferred costume.

On top of that list, about 4 families did the Incredibles this years. In years past, Mariah Carey and The Baldwins among other families had gone with that group costume option. Here is a quick run down of other fabulous costumes including some amazing over-the top ones that are not super heroes but are from popular movies and other pop culture figures.

Adrienne and Chris Bosh and family as The Incredibles

Fergie and her son Axl were are super heroes Power Rangers

Vanessa Lachey and her kids were also The Incredibles.

 

Singer Melanie Fiona and her family were also The Incredibles

And finally so was Cyn Santanna and fam

Monica Brown and her family are usually on the top 5 list when it comes to Halloween costumes and so to no surprise her daughter Laiyah Brown‘s Edward Scissorhands is amazing@

 

No doubt Ayesha Curry as Snow White and her 4-month old son Canon as a Dwarf were the cutest!

Not a family costume but here is Marcus Scribner as Erik Killmonger, Tracee Ellis Ross as Nakia, and Anthony Anderson as T’Challa from Black Panther

Age Aint Nuthin’ But A Number: These Older Celeb Moms’ Style Won the Weekend

This weekend and last a few of our past celeb mom features and faves showed out and showed us that age isn’t anything but a number. Singer Monica Brown, international lawyer Amal Clooney and model and actress Christie Brinkley were photographed and/or spotted out and about in fierece boots, hot pants and super gorge accessories.

Each women, aged 37, 40 and 64 respectively could easily pass for a decade or two younger based on their youthful figures, style and flawless skin.

While Clooney, who is also married to director, producer, actor and philanthropist George Clooney, is usually seen in conservative coats and A-line dresses, the mom to twins arrived to an event this weekend in Alexander Wang shorts,over Alexander Wang leather pants, topped by a feathered and embroidered Valentino jacket. She finished the look in a pair of leather boots.

Monica has been on tour and showing off colorful, fabulous looks in her carefully and perfectly styled Instagram page and it was no different about a week ago when she wore white thigh high feathered boots under a long sleeve denim dress with a long plaid duster tied around her waist.

Meanwhile, 64 year old Brinkley was seen out and about in a super cute Gucci logo Light Felted Cotton Sweatshirt and toting the It Bag, Mrs. Thom striped pebbled leather tote by Thom Browne and rocking vicious pair of red patent leather Gianvito RossiLevy 100 ankle boots.

Work it ladies! Show these younger women how it’s done!

 

Inside Toya Wright’s Baby Shower

Toya Wright celebrated the impending arrival of her second child at a baby shower in an Atlanta private residence this past MLK weekend.

It was a reality TV show reunion as some Our blog faves and bumpwatch alums Monica Brown, Monyetta Shaw and Rasheeda attended. Other stars of Atlanta-based shows Shamea Morton from Bravo TV‘s Real Housewives of Atlanta Quad Webb-Lunceford from that same network’s Married to Medicine.

The event featured personalized candy apples, candy bar and Rice Krispie treats and more. The theme was “Showering Reign”, a take off of the name she has selected for her daughter, though in one recent post, she referred to her baby as “Reignbeaux“, phonetic spin on Rainbow with a very unique spelling.

Wright also used the occasion to introduce the public to her beau and the baby’s dad Atlanta sports manager Robert “Red” Rushing. Up until this point, she had elected to conceal his identity. Secret’s out now!

If the baby’s name will be Reignbeaux, this will be the second celebrity baby Rainbow in recent years because The Girls Next Door alum Holly Madison‘s first child is  also named Rainbow. Reign is also a bit popular recently among celebrities. Kourtney Kardashian‘s son is named Reign and that is the middle name of Lil Kim’s daughter Royal Reign.

Wright announced her pregnancy last September  with a very creative scripted video featuring her daughter Reginae Carter with ex husband rapper Lil Wayne.

Oh and h/t from YBF, we learned that she also had a second shower with her fans. Nice! Here are photos shared by attendees:

Inside Toya Wright’s Gender Reveal Party

We usually blog about celebrity baby showers but Millenial parents are all about gender reveal parties.

Second-time mom-to-be Toya Wright had a gender reveal party early last month at her home but only recently shared the official event video.

Guests included a few of our Atlanta, Georgia-based Bellyitch Bumpwatch Alums: R&B singers and stage actress Monica Brown, Reality TV star of Bravo TV’s Real Housewives of Atlanta and biz mogul Kandi Burruss and her Xscape reunion tour band mate and fellow reality TV star Tameka “Tiny” Cottle Harris, Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta star Rasheeda.

The event was held indoors and outdoors poolside and from the looks of photos shared in social media, was quite an elegant tho low-key affair.

The actual gender reveal was an airplane flyover! How different and creative!!

“Issa Girl”! The banner trailing the tiny plane read to jubilant screams and shouts below.

Wright, who has starred in two reality TV shows about her life and is the author of a new book, shared the video on her Instagram.

She has not revealed who the dad is. She had a 18-year old daughter, Reginae Carter, who is a featured co-author of her new book, “You Just Don’t get It!”

She had the best reaction to the news as perfectly captured by the event photographer.

Carter’s dad is super famous Rapper Lil Wayne. 

My Last 2016 Celeb Halloween RoundUp…Promise

16b48249-1d49-4057-a3ce-c564b73b41ca.jpg


I hope you’re not tired of seeing Halloween costumes cause it took me quite some time to stalk all of our fave Bellyitch Bumpwatch Alums of our 7-year history and show you “my haul.” (smiley face emoji)

I screenshot the photos from Instagram they shared of their little ones in their costumes and boy, were there some great ones.

A standout is R &B singer Monica Brown and family. They recreated Beetlejuice, the movie with all its ghoulish characters for a Halloween party they threw this week.

Two families portrayed “Beauty and the Beast”: Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum and daughter Eberle and the Boshes, NBA player Chris Bosh, wife Adrienne and their daughter Dylan Skye. (They were Bat family with their twin baby boys Lennox and Phoenix too)



Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson and Kim Zolciack-Biermann‘s twins Kaia and Kane dressed as Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson from the movie rendition of  Grease.

Also The Baldwins (Hilaria and Alec & Fam) and Matthews (Jwoww & fam) went as The Incredibles.

e4d219ed-5485-4c86-8f1d-b0aeb8386a7a

I thought Tamera Mowry-Housely‘s daughter Ariah dressed as the overinflated StayPuff Marshmallow man from Ghostbusters was also very creative as mom and dad dressed as the Ghost catchers in that film.

And the other interesting thing to note is that in some of these screen grabs, you can see where other celeb moms have liked a fellow celeb mom’s pic.

You know how they’ll have a million followers of us peons but only following fellow celebs back? Ha!

Check them out.
