MTV Red Carpet
Think pink and red for the colors on the red carpet this evening. Men sporting the color with their suit choices for the evening. Women bring the couture to pantsuits to the red carpet for a glamorous evening. It is a great red carpet with the ability to be more casual.
Lakeith Stanfield looks fantastic in his jacquard suit red suit. He and Tessa Thompson brought the matching co-host to the red carpet. Percy Romeo Miller Jr. looks dapper in his Saint Laurent pink suit. Zendaya brings chocolate to the red carpet. She looks like a caramel filled Hershey’s kiss and pulls it off well. Hostess Tiffany Haddish has fun with her dress on the red carpet. Reminds me of the Easter and you would get that fun frilly dress and want to play and twirl.

Chris Pratt provides us with his nine rules
“Breathe. If you don’t you’ll suffocate.”
“You have a soul. Be careful with it.”
“Don’t be a turd. If you’re strong, be a protector. And if you’re smart be a humble influencer. Strength and intelligence can be weapons. And do not wield them against the weak. That makes you a bully. Be bigger than that.”
“When giving a dog medicine, put the medicine in a little piece of hamburger. They won’t even know they’re eating medicine.”
“Doesn’t matter what it is, earn it. A good deed. Reach out to someone in pain. Be of service. It feels good and it’s good for your soul.
“God is real. God loves you. God wants the best for you. Believe that. I do.”
“If you have to poop at a party, but you’re embarrassed because you’re going to stink up the bathroom, just do what I do. Lock the door. Sit down. Get all the pee out first, okay? And then once all the pee’s done, poop. Flush. Boom. You minimize the amount of time that the poop is touching the air. ‘Cause if you poop first, it takes you longer to pee. Then you’re peeing on top. It’s stirring it up. The poop particles create a cloud. It goes out and then everyone in the party will know that you pooped. Just trust me. It’s science.”
“Learn to pray. It’s easy and it’s so good for your soul.”
“Nobody is perfect. People are going to tell you, you’re perfect just the way you are. You’re not. You are imperfect. You always will be. But there is a powerful force that designed you that way. And it loves you. And if you’re willing to accept that, you will have grace. And grace is a gift. And like the freedom that we enjoy in this country, that grace was paid for with somebody else’s blood, do not forget it. Don’t take it for granted.”
Millie Bobby Brown, Best Performance in a Show, recently suffered a knee injury and was not able to attend, had a wonderful video about being nice.
She says, “Since I know there are many young people watching this, and even to the adults, too — they could probably use the reminder — I was taught, if you don’t have anything nice to say, just don’t say it,”
She continues, “There should be no space in this world for bullying, and I’m not going to tolerate it and neither should any of you. If you need a reminder of how well you are and to rise above the hate, message me on Instagram.” This is something she is experiencing on social media herself.
Keiynan Lonsdale, Best Kiss in a Show had the best line of the evening “Kiss the one that you love no matter what gender they are”

Duchess Meghan wore Claire Waight Keller Givenchy boat neck neckline silk crepe and 3/4 sleeves. 2019 spring collection, Queen Mary’s diamond Bandeau tiara, and Cartier jewels.

It was cathedral length, made from silk tulle, and featured a trim of hand-embroidered flowers from the commonwealths, Wintersweet from the Kensington Palace, and California poppy, with crops of wheat representing love and charity. Her veil is well crafted by hand and hundreds of hours of work.
Her makeup was beautiful and light. This added a sense of innocence and you could still see her freckles. Duchess Meghan gave six of her dear friends and sister-in-law Princess Catherine gold disc bespoke bracelets called the Kensington Bracelet designed by Zofia Day.

Wedding Ceremony
Duchess Meghan entered the chapel nave alone. This was a strong representation that she is an independent woman and a change from tradition for royal weddings.

Duke Harry thanks his father, looks at his bride, and says, “You look amazing, and you look so beautiful. “They exchange rings, something not traditionally done. The rings made from gifted Welch gold from Queen Elizabeth. The ceremony was one of love and commitment. The most Revd. and Rt Honored Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, officiated.

This spring summer 2018 collection brings the woman to a look that fits her every curve and line in an asymmetrical fashion. Onaolapo stays focused and directed each day on her talent and dreams.
Onaolapo enjoys starting her day successful. She states, “The first thing I do in the morning is open my eyes and say a prayer of gratitude. I know it sounds silly but it gets me positive and ready for the day when I acknowledge all the great things I have going for me.” This positive start to the day helps her maintain balance in life.
Developing an international fashion company takes a lot of time and effort. She maintains a balance by, “making sure I have a start and stop times. Yes, some days I can’t help it when work runs later than planned but I make sure that doesn’t happen a lot. So my loved ones don’t feel neglected and I have time for myself as well,” she says. This is an important example of taking care of self and personal relationships.
She continues with life balance and with exercise, a lot. She works on, strength training, yoga, and cardio. I can’t do without my workout routines. I am also super conscious of my diet so I try to stick to natural meals and freshly cooked meals.” Her focus on balancing her health, relationships, and business keep her on track to continue focusing on personal goals and achievement.

And despite that my brand keeps growing.” Her insight into the fashion industry and continuing to develop and grow is stressful but maintains a good life balance with health, focus, and personal relationships.
She continues to focus and drive with her goal in place. Her top goal is, “the future includes pushing my brand to a level of success where it becomes a force to be reckoned with in fashion. Another important goal of mine is to use my medium (Fashion) to make an impact in people’s lives. If I can help one or two people do their goals and make their dreams a reality then that translates to success for me.” She is aware of her brand, success, and the women she is designing.

Where Fashion Design Started
Denman changed his life career from a degree in political science to fashion. He was new to sewing, but that did not stop him from changing his career. He is a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) and an associate professor at FIDM. Project Runway awarded Denman grand prize in the ReMake It Work Contest.
His approach to design is sensual, sexy, modern, with a hint of classic remaining. The woman he designs for feels beautiful, powerful, and elegant. He is a powerhouse that will be one of the top designers in America.

Balancing Life with Health and Wellness
He works hard on success every day. The one thing he does each day to make it successful is, “Every morning, I wake up and have a cup of coffee while I journal. Journaling is incredibly important for me to collect all of my thoughts, both intellectual and creative. I will write, sketch, and list things and people for which I am grateful. This helps me stay humble and helps me recognize the important people in my life who have helped me get to where I am today. I also pick an outfit that matches the mood I want to have. I have studied a bit about the metaphysics of fashion, and it’s really astounding. I also like to accessorize my look with a watch, which is my go-to accessory. Once I have that on, I am ready for the day!” His has a dedication to staying focused and balanced in life.
Balancing life with the stress of the fashion industry is key to keeping the focus. Denman finds balance by, “Fashion design is an incredibly personal form of art. Whenever I make a garment or a collection, I really invest my time and inject a bit of myself, my mind, and my heart into it. I try to tell a story. I think that’s what makes fashion so profound—it is so personal. Because of the work, I do as a teacher, the confluence of work and personal life is incredibly dramatic. In order to balance these two areas, I try to organize myself as much as possible. I have a to-do list with me at all times, and my planner is color-coated and matches a calendar that I have in my room. I try to never have free time, either. Instead, time is always dedicated towards something, even if it means time to relax or time to spend with friends. I also think maintaining a stress-free life is a mindset. Rather than think that I am busy and stressed, I think that I am hard-at-work and focused on my career.” This shows in his ability to stay well-rounded as a step to staying healthy in a busy life.
Denman focuses on healthy living with a focus on his mental health. He states, “Fashion design is an incredibly stressful field. Staying healthy can be very difficult to do—oftentimes, I will leave my apartment as soon as the sun rises and will not return until after midnight. The industry is long days. Because my schedule is so busy, I try to stay healthy by staying mentally healthy as well as physically healthy. Besides exercising (my friend trains me here-and-there and helps record my progress). I will often read books or scholarly articles, listen to podcasts or TED Talks, or visit museums on free days to continuously stimulate my mind. Additionally, I try to eat as healthy as possible. Sometimes, it may just be some packed vegetables and hummus for lunch because of my schedule, but I really try to keep up a healthy lifestyle. However, I know that I can always be healthier (I just love baking homemade chocolate chip cookies!).”
Kyle Denman ReMake It Work Contest Project Runway
Achievements
He approaches life and success with a strong force and determination. His best achievement to date is, “receiving the title of Young Fashion Designer of the Year is an incredible achievement. Truly, it is an honor. It was also amazing to be recognized as the Grand Prize Winner of the Project Runway Remake It Work Contest. However, I would also consider being a teacher an achievement that I hold very close to my heart. I now teach fashion design through a nonprofit called Freedom and Fashion. I teach young women who are survivors of human trafficking, homelessness, abuse, assault, and other injustices. These young students and designers are so special to me, and being able to spend time with them is an achievement to me—they are so talented and are so kind. It’s really an honor to be in their presence and call them students and friends. I love watching them grow as designers and as people; I can honestly say my heart is so full when I am with them.” He brings his skill, energy, and power to other providing future opportunities for many.
Future Goals
I would love to continue designing for celebrity clients and entering fashion shows around the world. Being able to witness the transformation of a garment or a collection is really special. From idea to sketch to sample to completed look, the transformative appeal of fashion is undeniable. To have the ability to be so creative is amazing, and I feel incredibly lucky to have the chance to be so creative every day. I hope to expand upon this creativity, continue to work hard and working with Freedom and Fashion. A long-term dream of mine has always been to work on Dancing with the Starsas one of the designers.

Marcella states, “I have a grandson living with Angelman Syndrome and after watching an interview given by the Hollywood actor Colin Farrell (whose son has Angelman Syndrome) where he took the opportunity to harness the power of the media to raise awareness. I was encouraged to use the power of fashion industry to raise more awareness.” FAST (Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics) brings together a multidisciplinary team of more than two-dozen scientists from top research universities and pharmaceutical companies.
Angelman Syndrome has been cured multiple ways in mice, and scientists progression they are making is nothing short of thrilling. As diverse as our Angelman community is, we are all united in one goal: a better future for our children. FAST is committed to bringing life-changing treatments to clinical trials within two years, but we need your help. The young designers are a part of a movement to cure a rare severe neurological condition called Angelman Syndrome.
