What better time to let loose in a wild orange zebra print then while vacationing in the tropics? The diva herself took advantage, sporting a Thakoon skirt set with adorable oxford flats we would definitely pack on our travels.

Jada Pinkett-Smith

Jada Pinkett-Smith follows her own set of rules, even when it comes to fashion. The actress rocks a Peter Pilotto sleevless top and purposefully, a contrast print skirt –– now we know where Willow gets it from.

Ashley Madekwe

Andy Allo

Andy Allo goes all out in cobalt blue silk draw string pants and an even more daring floral blazer. We love a lady who can add fun to the red carpet.
