Best of 2015:Beyonce in Givenchy at the 2015 Met Gala

2) Beyonce in Givenchy at the 2015 Met Gala

‘Yonce was another star who made quite the splash at the 2015 Met Gala! The superstar turned heads and dropped mouths as she sashayed down the red carpet in a sheer tulle evening gown by Givenchy. With a high ponytail and nude platform pumps, all eyes were on her as she slayed for the masses.

Mrs. Carter’s bedazzled dress boasts strategically placed multicolored stones, a sleek silhouette and long sleeves. The sultry ‘fit also houses an open back. Whew!

This woman is flawless. Although it was fun to watch Bey serve it up at the Met Gala, it was even better watching the responses this dress got! There were some who felt this was a bit much and then there were others who felt it was a complete hit. Heck, I’ve even seen some prom dresses fashioned after this style. But, if you ask us here at FBD, Queen Bey struck us hard with one!

Best of 2015:Rihanna in Guo pei 2010 couture

So, the #BestOf2015 continues…

And, we’ve come to the close of yet another year! We’ve witnessed the evolution of some of our favorite fashionistas and we’ve even watched the growth of some notable up-and-comers. The year 2015 was a pivotal year for a plethora of trends including sheer gowns, sculpted silhouettes and the signature monochromatic look. But, there a few style mavens who managed to get it right in ‘fits that inspired, raised eyebrows and even tugged at our heart strings.

So, join me as we take a trip down memory lane in our favorite looks of the year!

1) Rihanna in Guo Pei 2010 Couture at the 2015 Met Gala

Style extraordinaire Rihanna has had quite the fashionable year!  The 27-year old bombshell held us captive as she flaunted some of the most eye-catching (and controversial) outfits. But, it was her 2015 Met Gala showstopper that shook the globe. The singer arrived on the red carpet while uplifting a Guo Pei 2010 Couture yellow fur trimmed gown that screamed oriental goodness!

The Bad Gal’s look also featured intricate detailing, a monstrous train and tons of color. She also donned a matching gold headpiece, pearls and shimmery gold pumps. The showstopping number was an absolute hit on social media and proved that it was one of the evening’s most talked about pieces.

This look translated perfectly with the Met Gala theme (simply coined “China: Through the Looking Glass“) and left an imprint in the hearts of fashion lovers everywhere. Slay, Ri-Ri!

Shenique from the Turks & Caicos brought loads of color, prints, and punch to our Bombshell feature.

Readers were wowed, leaving comments like, “She’s gorgeous, great smile and fashion as well.”

@Honye_xo was over the moon, typing, “YES! YES! A million times YES! ” We couldn’t agree more!

1. FASHION BOMBSHELL OF THE YEAR 2015

With the advent of Instagram, our Bombshell feature’s popularity has shifted to social media! Instead of dozens of comments on the site, all the votes and comments are on the ‘Gram! Therefore, I sifted through hundreds of Bombshells from the past year, and included Bombshells who were able to get over 4,200 likes on IG (most Bombshells get 2,000 or less).
Regardless of popularity or timing, these Bombshells killed it.

Check it out:
1. @SimplicityXStyle from New York (5,183 Likes, 104 Comments)

To this day, we still don’t know this elusive Bombshell’s name! We will now and forever refer to her as her Instagram handle, @SimplicityxStyle.

Her ensembles bubbled over with designer duds, from DSquared2 sandals to Céline bags, and fuzzy Chanel purses.

@Dear_Fashionista cosigned, “Yes. She’s everything! Her shoes slay. The shades!? Chile yes!” Agreed!

Kensington Palace has released a new photograph of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte. 

The new image shows the family in the garden, with Prince George standing up next to his mother and Princess Charlotte sitting on her lap. It comes one month after the palace released images of Princess Charlotte taken by her mother. Last Christmas the couple unveiled a series of pictures of Prince George posing in the grounds of Kensington Palace. 

The new picture coincided with the announcement that Prince George will be starting at a nursery just a few minutes' drive from their Norfolk home at the end of January.
