“My mom and I are style stars because our style is not just on the outside, but our style radiates from within. True style is an essence and air that you wear. It’s more than the clothes you wear. Your true style is indicative of who you are. We are style stars because we glow!”
“Mom is fly! When we are hanging out people always stop and stare, asking ‘Are you sisters?’ Mom smiles and says ‘Yes, and she is the oldest,’ (pointing to me).”
“She always teases me and says ‘You better hope you look this good when you get to be my age.’ I sure hope that I’m lucky enough to inherent those genes!”
“My mom Grace and I have always loved fashion. As a young girl, my mom always made sure that my sisters and I always had the cutest outfits, matched from head-to-toe, and our hair was always done nice. In this photo, my mom and I were at an event with family and friends and we were looking and feeling great! My mom and I have always had style and now, as a grown woman with daughters of my own, I’m the same way with my girls.”
“My mother is 62 and does not look a bit over 50. My mother is my best friend and my everything.”
“She’s so hip and down to earth, but I respect her as a mother and not like a friend of mine. My mother out shines me at times with her style. We collaborate well together as style stars because we share so much in common on every aspect.”
“We are a tag team of love and support. People often mistake us for sisters. As a child I watched her, and as a young adult I mimic her style. My mom was my first fashionista and still a major influence on many other aspects of my life.”
“My mother Leila and I are style stars not because of what we wear, but because of what we posses which is energy, class and a lot of love. My mother is my rock, my best friend and my style inspiration.”
“My mom and I are style stars because we’ve maximized what I call the ‘Three C’s’ to achieve our individual, yet classic looks: chic, color and compassion. I’m not sure when my mom exactly became a fashionista, but it has certainly worked to my advantage over the years since we’re constantly borrowing each others clothes. Plus, I’m thoroughly convinced my obsession with retail is a direct result of growing up seeing my mom with outfits, handbags, and shoes (did I mention she has twice as many as I do) that were never anything less than fresh, flattering and fun. I’m grateful to have a mom who has given me what I believe to be the most valuable advice in life: always love the way you look. That alone makes my mom a style star!”
“My mom and I never miss a beat and people don’t mind telling us. We are always complimented on our sense of style, clothes, shoes, hair and accessories. This picture was from my work holiday party and boy did we get compliments and a lot of pictures taken of us. I think we hit it out of the ball park from head to toe.”
“My mom is fly because she is able to be stylish without the name brands and she’s the best coordinator I’ve ever met! I believe I got most of my sense of style from her which is why I created my own blog with her support. We tend not to follow trends but rather go with what looks good on us. We also tend to never shy away from colors. I learn from her and she learns from me and I wish to one day be as selfless a woman as her.”
“Growing up in a single parent household with two sisters and a brother was not easy, but I learned from my mom to always hold my head up and stand strong. Whether we were in hand-me-downs and Payless shoes or our Sunday best, mommy always put her special style spin on it. We were always clean, pressed and not a hair out of place. Even when we couldn’t afford the hairdresser, mommy threw in some curls and cornrows and we were good to go. Mommy said she learned from grandma to always look her best, even if you’re only going to the store. I am my own fashion diva now, but I was taught at an early age you can look the best on a budget. Thank you mommy. You did well!”
“My mom and I love wearing clothes that are classy yet comfortable. Although we enjoy being stylish we are always looking for the best deals for our buck! Style is more than what you wear on the outside, one must exemplify a good spirit from the inside as well.”
“I learned my sense of fashion, style and elegance from the woman standing beside me (mom). She still can put together an outfit and still look fly and young as ever! From the time I was a young lady until now, my mom has always been fashion conscious and looking good with the latest wig or the flyest shoes or even bell-bottoms.”
“I get it from my momma! Mom is the ultimate style star. She embraces grace, beauty, class and is the ultimate fashionsita. She is dressed to the nines everyday. She has a heart of gold and is the rock of our family.”
“Our smiles, happiness and love for one another makes the picture breathtaking. My mom and I are style stars because we are true diva’s. We are always finding new ways to accessorize and we love to shop. She goes into my closet and I go into hers. Our beauty and confidence makes us both style stars.”
“I am almost 30 years old and people always mistake my mom and I for sisters. If I told you her age, you wouldn’t believe me. That’s why I’m not afraid of getting older. My mother manages to keep up with current trends but still look classy and timeless. People who think that Mississippians aren’t stylish haven’t met us.”
“My mother, being the timeless beauty that she is, inspires me everyday with her impeccable style. Being not only a first lady, but a well respected business woman, she has shown me how to dress with class yet incorporate my own flare, to never be afraid of color, and to wear my clothes with a confidence that shines from the inside out.”
“As a wardrobe stylist, I love fashion and so does my mom. My mother taught me how to dress with style and class. She instilled in me what sexy looked like without showing too much. When we get together we shop for hours, collecting magazines and comparing the latest trends. We call each other everyday about something fashion related. She is my style guru! She is a true fashionista!”
“To me, my mother is the epitome of style, not only in the physical sense, but mentally, spiritually and emotionally. She is truly ageless. She is truly a class act who loves her three children unconditionally. Like fine wine, she gets better with age. I admire her strength and resilience and I try my best to carry myself with the same grace that she has everyday. I can only hope to be as a great of a mother to my kids as she has been to me one day.”
“My mom is a style icon, and it has begun to rub off on me in the last few years. She’s always been a stylist for as long as I can remember, and this photo is just a mere display of what we see from her everyday. She can go from the most casual to the most elegant in no time flat.”
“My daughter and I are style stars because of the beautiful dresses we both wore to a recent wedding. We did not shop together, but surprisingly we both selected dresses with beautiful tulle skirts. Not only are we style stars, but our appearances are strikingly similar. We are best friends, who are often referred to as twins or sisters.”
“My mother’s style shows that she is classic and appealing all in one. She is the complete package! Over the years my mother has helped with molding my style. She has shown me that you don’t always have to show skin to be appealing.”
“I am truly blessed to have a style icon like my mother in my life. When growing up, my friends never wanted their mother’s to go shopping for them without them. I never had that problem. Whether it’s my shoes, hair, or clothes, I can always expect my mother to give me her honest opinion. I truly value and appreciate my mother’s fashion sense. My mother and I are definitely style stars!”
“My mom not only has style but she has class. She loves to dress to impress. I love my mother so much. When I was little we would go shopping every weekend and the store would turn off the lights on us. My mother is 60 years old but she looks like she’s in her 40’s. She’s not into trying to be young, because she’s a professional with style.”
“My mother and I are both very curvy women who take pride in our curves. We both take the time and effort to make sure we are always on our ‘A’ game when it comes to clothes, but we always stay within our budget. Not every piece of clothing must be expensive and there is nothing wrong with clothes from the sale rack. This picture proves that you can be a full figured, stylish woman and feel sexy and beautiful. We take fashion trends and give it our own personality and flare. I have learned all of my fashion tips from my mother. She has always taught me that you can be trendy and sexy at any size.”
“Not only does my mother have style but her mother does too! I can’t doubt I get it from them. These are great women inside and out. Three generations of fashionistas!”
“Our mother is still fabulous and over 40! We look to her for fashion tips. She’s a mother first and a friend and confidant second. She’s a positive force not only at home but in the community.”
“My mother is my style icon because she always carries herself with grace, strength, and class at all times. She radiates love, and is always full of smiles. She’s a very intelligent woman with a great sense of humor. I highly admire her for her courage and perseverance. We’re proud Sierra Leoneans that know the essence of elegance and style in our culture and being women. We take pride in being African women in the 21st century living in the U.S.”
We are both talented, fun and loving. We spend our free time in the community helping others. We have a tutoring company that assists student athletes who have the talent but need encouragement in the class room. We are in the process of getting fit together this summer! We are as close as sisters with the understanding that I am the mom!
“It’s an understatement to just say that I love my mom. She’s a fantastic woman of Ghanaian culture and American success. Not only did she just turn 50, but she did it the Essence way: in style. This picture was taken at her gold-themed party where we and many of her friends from all over the country, celebrated her special day.”

“My fashion sense definitely comes from my mom. She has always been fly — the flyest woman at work, in church and the flyest mom dropping her daughter off to school in the morning.”
“She puts together in an outfit and she’s an accessories fiend, from jewelry, to scarves and belts, to shades and sunglasses. She does it all with class!”
“My mom is obsessed with fashion and style. She is currently single so when a coworker invited my mom to her wedding, she invited me as her guest. My mom bought our outfits and knew exactly what to buy for me without me being there. We went to our hair stylist and she explained exactly how she wanted our hair styled to go with 50/60’s fashion for her and modern celebrity look for myself. I hope I will develop a little of her style someday.”
“Affectionately known by everyone as ‘Mama D,’ my mom is truly the epitome of a D.I.V.A (Dynamic Intelligent Vivacious and Awesome).”
