In which I discuss a fashion trend…or admire the outfit of a Haitian celebrity.

Kreyolicious fashion…in which…

Actress Garcelle Beauvais attended a cocktail party over the weekend in honor of diversity at this year’s 67th Emmy Awards. The party was being thrown by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and SAG-AFTRA and was held at Montage in Beverly Hills, California.

Let’s take a look at Garcelle’s outfit. Of course, she’s looking really kreyolicious!

What I can deduce from studying her outfit is that when you’re putting together yellow and black, you really have to resign yourself to the fact that the yellow will always outshine the black. So, let yellow shine!

Yellow introduces itself on top…see those earrings…

Then it’s the black bodysuit…

And then it’s the yellow, sweeping skirt. So, that’s how you combine yellow and black when putting together an outfit.

This has been another episode of…Kreyolicious fashion.

Charles-Victor-Emmanuel Leclerc, was a French general, brother-in-law of Napoleon, who attempted to suppress the Haitian revolt led by the former slave Toussaint Louverture.
–
Leclerc joined the army in 1792 and distinguished himself at the siege of Toulon. It was in this campaign that he met Napoleon Bonaparte, who developed a great affection for him; Leclerc would serve Napoleon faithfully for the rest of his life. Leclerc was promoted to general after duty in Napoleon’s Italian campaign. The relationship was further strengthened by Leclerc’s marriage (1797) to Napoleon’s sister Pauline Bonaparte. In 1799 Leclerc played a decisive role in the coup that brought Napoleon to power.
–
After proving his abilities as a general both in the Egyptian campaign and in Germany (1800), Leclerc was sent by Napoleon to subdue the rebellion in Haiti, at that time known as Saint-Domingue.
