From bold accessories, to bolder designs the Atkins-Campell sisters are always on trend but never tacky.

We love “American Idol” winner Jordin Sparks’ classic style. The young beauty generally keeps this simple and chic like this leopard print maxi dress.

Singer and former Plus Size model Maiysha takes chances in her wardrobe and career. Her she is wearing a jumper at the Essence Women of Color Gala. This Japanese inspired brocade material might not work for everyone but Maiysha pulls it off by adding the best accessory: Confidence.
