{blackbabes} Olivia Pope's Black and White Gown on Scandal-All the Details!

The Michael J. Fox Show, Season 1 - The Michael J. Fox Show

ABC

There is plenty to talk about from tonight's Scandal, but over here at The Trend there was one item topping our must-discuss agenda: Olivia Pope's gorgeous black and (cream) white dress.

The silk strapless gown—which Kerry Washington's character paired with her signature long gloves—is by American designer Rubin Singer. And get this: You can actually purchase it Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue stores. Well, okay it might set you make a little bit, after all, it's a costs $3,875.

Although this is the first gown we've seen Olivia in season three, the look continues her long established black and white trend, which (in addition to her famous coats) includes a Michael Kors sheath and an Escada dress. The latter look also featured a geometric pattern which emphasized her curves similar to the Rubin Singer creation.

ABC

When we chatted with the ABC show's costume designer, Lyn Paolo, a few weeks ago she shared that she likes the color combo because it represents the Capitol Hill fixer's internal struggle:

"We play with black and white a lot on the show because it represents her conflicts. 'Am I good? Am I bad? What have I done?,'" Lyn said. 

Olivia's been wearing a lot of blue shades this season—so it was nice to see her hit a glam slam in her signature gladiator color palette.

{blackbabes} Gabrielle Union Celebrates 41st Birthday Bash With Dwyane Wade (and His Championship Ring)

The Marshall Mathers LP2 - Eminem

 

Fact: Gabrielle Union doesn't age.

Just a few days after posting a stunning bikini photo (seriously, that body is on point!), the Bring It On actress celebrated her 41st birthday with a blowout birthday bash on Tuesday in Miami.

After watching her boyfriend, Dwyane Wade, trounce the Chicago Bulls at AmericanAirlines Arena, Union and her closest girlfriends partied at HYDE after the game. Her friends pulled out all the stops for her birthday as they had a special red velvet cake made for her and sipped on some special gold magnum bottles of Moet Champagne delivered to her table.

 

Union was photographed getting cozy with her beau, sitting on his lap and sharing loving glances while also sporting his championship ring from last year's NBA Playoffs. Wade hung out with his lady and her friends for a short time before heading to Philadelphia with the rest of the Heat.

"And thank you to the guy that forgets to put the cap on the toothpaste, who flushes the non-flushable baby wipes but always goes all out for my birthday," she wrote to the basketball star on Instagram.

Following a few hours of partying with her girlfriends, Union headed to a surprise birthday dinner with her girls at Catch at the James Royal Palm. The restaurant opened late for the actress, who arrived with her friends at around 1 a.m. 

Gabrielle tweeted, "Thank you to @emmgroupinc #Hydemiami #catchmiami for a great birthday night! We loved every moment!!!!"

{blackbabes} Lil' Kim Loves Miley Cyrus' Halloween Homage: "She Did Me Very Well"

The Marshall Mathers LP2 - Eminem

 

Miley Cyrus has gotten Lil' Kim's big stamp of approval.

For Halloween this year, the "Wrecking Ball" singer paid homage to her favorite rapper by replicating the latter's revealing outfit from the 1999 MTV's Video Music Awards. Rocking a jumpsuit and a periwinkle pasty, Miley nailed the infamous look to a T, and Lil' Kim only has kind words for her good friend.

The rapper took to Twitter last night to tell Miley she was "looking GORGEOUS," and continued her praise today by telling MTV, "How awesome was that! Put it this way, she did me very well. I think she looked gorgeous. I love her; she's one of my besties. She's like my bestie-slash-wifey. You know what's so funny? As soon as she tweeted the picture, she texted me and was like she was like, 'Happy Halloween, babe!' ... I think she did me well."

She also added, "[Miley's] so outrageous. She's fun. She's gorgeous. She's just living her life."

 

Lil' Kim also says that her purple-pasty look remains one of her favorites to this day.

"The purple pasty with the purple hair is something that kids love, women love and men love—and people all over the world loved," she said. "When people give you that compliment on Halloween, it's huge."

{blackbabes} Beyoncé and Blue Ivy Dress Up as an Angel and a Bumblebee for Halloween-See the Precious Pic!

The Marshall Mathers LP2 - Eminem

Instagram

You might say this picture is heaven-sent.

Beyoncé posted a sweet Instagram photo on Halloween of herself dressed as an angel while holding daughter Blue Ivy, who appeared to be channeling her inner bumblebee.

Of course, we can't help but wonder if there's more where this came from.

After all, the singer's mother, Tina Knowles, told E! News exclusively at the Angel Ball in New York City that "Beyoncé has about five outfits picked out for her and she has yet to make a decision."

In fact, she revealed that the entire family is getting into the holiday spirit.

"They are all very excited to dress up this year," Knowles added.

Of course, Bey is no stranger to sharing shots of herself with little Blue. She recently posted several personal photos on Tumblr, including one of mother and daughter playing peekaboo in a hammock.
