In addition to a jewel-covered bodice, the head-turning design included an iridescent silver skirt and matching shawl. The Fenty Beauty mogul added extra sparkle courtesy of three large diamond rings and an ear stack, featuring matching hoops and Briony Raymond and Dyne ear cuffs. Even her glam was iridescent, as she topped off the look with spiral-shaped gold hair accessories and sparkly face gems.
Her partner A$AP Rocky accompanied her, clad in a pink Chanel smoking jacket with matching diamond earrings. The star’s often one of the last arrivals and has been the most anticipated arrival on the Met steps for over a decade — even when she doesn’t show up..She more than made up for it last year, revealing her third pregnancy in a Marc Jacobs pinstriped suit with a bump-hugging bustier, sculptural bustle and polka-dotted cravat

“When I Fell In Love,
I Never Expected…”
by BS Staff
Clay: “To walk down the aisle after knowing her for only three weeks.” Laird: “That she would turn out to be such a loser.” Crystal: “That there would be so much deceitfulness, disloyalty, agony, and lies.” Edward: “That things would change so drastically, and that my life would change. I was amazed at how I stopped thinking about myself and started thinking about someone else all the time. I feel a lot happier, like walking on a cloud. Everything I do is better. I even work better. My outlook on life is better.” MORE

Q. I decided two years ago to abstain from sex until I got married. I was tired of hot nights and lonely days. Four months ago, I met a guy who has shown me a love that I’ve never experienced. He is handsome, stable, and kind, and he has asked me to marry him. He is also willing to do it without knowing me sexually. The problem is that there is something about him (I suspect he has a split personality) that tells me I would be making a mistake if I married him. For all appearances, he is everything I’d want in a husband. But I’m leery. Do you think I’m letting my loveless past influence me or should I follow my gut? MORE

Anger Alert! Violence
On The Dating Scene
by Coco Diong
FACT #1: Singles (men and women) often suffer silently in abusive relationships and no one talks about it. I discovered this when I recently attended a singles women’s conference and one of the speakers called for those in the room who had suffered physical abuse in non-marital relationships to stand. I was shocked when at least half of the women in the room stood, including my friend who was sitting next to me. (There were over 300 women in attendance) It turned out that she had been in an abusive relationship for over two years and was too embarrassed to tell anyone. MORE
