Every woman owns pieces that showcase & celebrates their individual style, grace and beauty. From furs to stilettos and everything in between you can find some of everything in a woman’s diva kit. In celebration of VH1’s Divas Celebrate Soul television special, Essence Magazine recently published a blog breaking down the diva kit or the essential fashion staples you need to tap into your inner diva. Check out a few of these notions and let us know what you think…
Multiple Wardrobe Changes
A diva must have several outfit changes to suit every occasion. At the ‘VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul’ event Jennifer Hudson had a total of four fabulous outfit changes in one night. From left: The Blonds crystal gown, Francesco Scognamiglio mini-dress and thigh high boots, The Blonds bustier mini, and Dolce & Gabbana mini fringe dress.
In real life, (that’s without a stylist and entourage…) I could see owning a staple dress that can be worn multiple ways. Like the LBD (aka The Little Black Dress). The one staple that should be in every woman’s Diva Kit, including yours…
The Thigh High Boot
There’s something about the thigh high boot that gives a girl a Wonder Woman quality, and since a diva is a super woman, these are essential. To the left, Jennifer Hudson wears Francesco Scognamiglio crystal encrusted boots, and Blige, Christian Dior Guetre Alligator boots.
A good boot always makes a statement, and it doesn’t have to cost you a car payment either…
Clutch
The clutch is sleek and chic, which is what a diva embodies. Lose the bulky shoulder bag and keep it minimal. I’m absolutely a fan of the clutch, but when it comes down to packing the size makes sure you carry the essentials and the essentials only. (so pack light…)
