Source: Paul Bruinooge / Getty We still have far to go when it comes to diversity on the runway, but it appears that the fashion industry is paying attention to the criticism it has faced in the past regarding the lack of it. During this year’s New York Fashion Week, models of all shades strutted down the runway in some of the top designer’s shows. They killed it in jewel tones at Cushnie, made our jaws drop in breathtaking Carolina Herrera gowns, slayed in Brandon Maxwell’s colorful satin designs, and so many more runway shows. It was tough to narrow down our list to only 20 looks that black models slayed on the runway, because there were just that many this time around that captured our essence and contained pops of color that complemented our skin tones. This was definitely an NYFW to remember. Take a peek at the hottest looks from the NYFW runway!

Fresh off the controversy over her decision not to evacuate for Hurricane Florence , Jenelle finds herself in the eye of another storm. This time, it's a mini-scandal surrounding her ever-changing appearance, and it's yet another reminder of the extent to which the mother of three has gone off the deep end … 1. The New Jenelle Jenelle posted this photo to Instagram recently, and fans were quick to call her out for her latest cosmetic procedure. 2. “So Plastic!” That was the remark made by one of Jenelle’s followers that touched off a heated debate in the comments section. 3. The Big Question Some fans didn’t believe Jenelle had gotten any work done, and to be fair, her latest alteration is pretty subtle. 4. It’s All in the Lips “Lay off the lip injections,” one fan wrote. On Facebook and Reddit, fans posted photos which they claimed showed that Jenelle’s fondness for lip injections was taking its toll. 5. She Looks Fine to Us! Critics of Jenelle’s appearance have pointed to this screenshot from Teen Mom 2 as evidence that her frequent cosmetic procedures are having an undesirable effect. 6. Everyone’s a Critic These people say the constant change in the size of Jenelle’s lips has created a “deflated” look around her mouth. And naturally, their criticism doesn’t end there … View Slideshow

Still so disappointed with the way SZA allowed solange to completely disfigure The Weekend video — Jó. (@QueenJxsephine) January 7, 2018 SZ and Solo were very much focused on portraying the beauty of simplicity in the aestically pleasing video, but secretly, most of us have been waiting so long for visuals to the banger that we wanted to see a little “my man is my man is your man” drama.

One rapper, LGP Qua , dropped some fire bars addressing everything from our broken criminal justice system, to Cyntoia Brown ‘s incarceration, to the slave trade in Libya . Check out the heat below.

Porsha Williams Speaks On Her Party For Duke Williams Remember when we told you that Porsha Williams got relentlessly roasted for giving her boyfriend Duke Williams a party and a “tropy man” award after just months of dating??? Well the RHOA star is responding to the criticism she received regarding her relationship, in particular from her friends and business associates. In her latest Bravo blog , Porsha was asked if she was surprised that her business partners weren’t supportive of her dating: “You know what, I have to say I was surprised. Because again, I feel like when I’m in a relationship, I’m at my best. I’ve always said, once I get my business in order, everything is good. If your personal life is good and you have a solid support system at home, you can go conquer the world. So, I really didn’t understand what they were saying. I think they were coming from a place of what would happen if I break up with that individual, and that could possibly be true.” She then commented on her friends and associates gossiping about her now ex at his going away party. During the celebration that included the 24-year-old meeting Porsha’s family, several of Porsha’s friends were seen laughing about rumors that Duke was DMing freaky flick star Mia Khalifa. Bravotv.com: Were you shocked to hear everyone commenting on the rumors about Duke? I was shocked as hell. Honestly, I didn’t know all that gossiping was going on. Later when I found out, I was pissed. I was really upset because, as you can see, I put a lot into that freaking party. I felt like I had prepped everybody, I had pulled all my friends to the side and told everybody, “This party’s for Duke, I’m so excited. We’re going to send him off, he’s going to go and kill it this season. I want him to feel love and support.” And later on when I see all this negative energy was in his party, I was really upset with each person, and I had to talk to each individual about how I felt. Poor Porsha, maybe gossip like that ultimately killed their relationship. What do YOU think??? Were Porsha’s friends wrong to gossip about Duke at his party???
