Jennifer Lawrence's Dior Frock Spawns Viral #Lawrencing Meme

The social media had been buzzing about Jennifer Lawrence's strapless white gown with two thin, horizontal bands of black since the moment she first arrived on the red carpet of the Annual Golden Globes Award. The U.K. Daily Mail first tweeted about the gown saying  it resembled a "glam coffee filter." Fashion critic Booth Moore called the choice odd, describing it as a "ring of pouf."-I agree

As the evening wore on, armchair fashion critics rose up and became armchair fashion designers. The first hilarious photo was Green Arrow actor Colton Haynes posted side-by-side photos on Instagram and Twitter. On the left was the dress on the red carpet, on the right was Haynes aping Lawrence's expression while wrapped in what looks like a white bed sheet accented with two horizontal black bands

Then, there was a dog -- clad in a white pillow case and two horizontal strips of black fabric -- that was doing its best JLaw imitation. An hour after that it was a cat in a white terrycloth hand towel and two pieces of black string being held aloft in a photo. Later,  Buzzfeed's Jordan Zakarian had rounded it all up by posting "Jennifer Lawrence's Golden Globes Dress Has All Of The Internet 'Lawrencing'" and by Monday morning the freshly minted hashtag #Lawrencing was everywhere -- a Barbie doll "Lawrenced" in a roll of toilet paper and black pipe cleaners on Tumblr, Ariel (she of "The Little Mermaid") was posted "Lawrencing" in a repurposed sail and length of rope, and anyone and everyone with access to a white sheet (or in some cases quilted comforter) and roll of black electrical tape was taking a selfie of themselves in full #Lawrencing mode.This is absolutely ludicrous! I'm waiting to see a photo from my naija people-lol


Halima Abubarkar, Tomi Odunsi, Toke Makinwa and Yvonne Nelson Went Dark

For the past year or so red lipstick started getting a hue darker every time a celeb donned it on the red carpet, until wearing black (or close to it anyway) lipstick was the coolest thing ever. The way I see it, we could blame this uber cool yet not-so-flattering-on-everyone-beauty-trend on either Rihanna or Azealia Banks. Now, four of our celebs tried this dark lipstick and I honestly don't know how I feel about the looks. How dark will you go?


Rukky Sanda's Dramatic Half-Shaved Hair Makeover

The Nollywood Actress has sported almost every colour and style you could think of and now she's rocking another new look! She took to Instagram a picture of her dramatic half-shaved haircut today.

Rukky's half shaved hair isn’t the only part of her makeover, though. She has also chopped off some of the length of her weave. While I normally would raise an eyebrows at such a dramatic change, I think this shaved hair looks great on her! The key to this look is tons of confidence — and she's definitely got it!
Do you like or are you totally loathing it?
