Ladies and gentlemen, a star is born. She reigns from the Bronx, New York. One of the most beautiful, talented, articulate, and stylish women of our time. Golden Globe Award and Tony Award winner, Ms. Diahann Carroll has graced our silver screen and Broadway stage with ease. Her body of work includes: songstress, supportive acting roles, and breaking barriers by becoming the first African American woman to headline a series…Julia.

Lasting Star Imprints

Throughout life you receive lasting imprints from people that inspire you. I remember in middle school, performing my first play. The name of the play was Dottie’s Dream, an adaptation of The Wizard of Oz. A star is born…I played the role of Dottie. Strangely enough, being a shy kid I accepted the role after the other girl bailed out. Having seen Diahann Carroll in action, I thought I had picked up a few of her techniques. The goal was to own that stage. This was my chance to show the world that I had acting chops too. Mind you it was only faculty, parents, and students but nonetheless I was ready. The experience was amazing and I remembered all my lines.

Bringing Glamorous Back

I’m bringing glamorous back with this look inspired by Ms. Diahann Carroll. One of the original fashionistas; tailored and overwhelmingly Hollywood. NastyGal’s “Dance Tonight Glitter Dress” paired with Macy’s International Concept nude ombre Kenjay d’Orsay heel. This particular d’Orsay is completely sold out at the time of this writing but there are other styles in this shoe. I see a star in you so shine brightly. Thanks for dropping in ladies. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
