Brown Sista

With all the Superbowl hoopla going on I almost forgot that Fashion Week in New York City’s Bryany Park was in full swing. Every February designer’s from around the globe converge on the city to showcase their fall fashion collections. One of the most popular showings is Kimora Lee Simmons’ Baby Phat line, which is alaways heavily attended by celebrity sistas. This year was no different as Tyra Banks, Vivica Fox, and Amerie were just a few of the ladies who showed up to see what Baby Phat had to offer for the Fall of 2008.

I posted a small cover shot of Mary J. Blige’s February 2008 Vibe cover and finally Vibe has sent me my issue and I am able to post the high quality images for you all. I love the cover shot and Mary looks even more beautiful without all that text on her face. I have added these pics to Mary’s gallery on BrownSista.net as well as updated galleries by Meagan Good and I finally got my hands on amazing high quality images of Janet Jackson’s Billboard Magazine cover, as well as various other recently released promo shots.

It’s been a minute since we last put up a mega pic post and so I figured there is no time like the present to get back into the swing of things. Above we have a few pics of Beyonce and Jay-Z hanging out in New York. Bey is pretty in pink and obviously chose to take advantage of the mild temperatures in New York by sportin’ capri pants in January.

Urban fashion icon, Mary J. Blige, was seen looking perfect from head to toe at the premiere of Queen Latifah’s new movie, Mad Money. At 37 years of age Mary can still clearly hang with the 20 year olds- but has no need to. As I told you before ladies, 40 or almost 40 just ain’t how many of you imagine it to be. Women like Mary are totally breaking the age barrier in music- proving you don’t have to be 20 and a dance diva in order to sell records.
