Given your comfort zone, you may live your best dating life in sneakers or in heels; either way, we want to make sure you feel your best while finding your potential bae. As a southern gal in the dating game, I once found it hard choosing a lewk for dates. Mostly because I was aiming to look good for my date. Then, I realized I needed to feel comfortable in my own skin so now I only rock pieces that make me feel good. Because when you feel good, you look good. That's law.
Ahead we have found gathered some inpso for your next date night, no matter your mood. Take a look!
For the woman who can't live without a sexy dress...
For most women, a sexy dress is their go-to for date nights. They are sultry and call you to own your sensuality. You can pair them with slinky sandals or even rock your favorite sneakers for a sporty chic look. We love Jess's emerald green slip dress because of its instant glamour and style. Her decision to keep her hair out of her face was so wise because it creates a beautiful, clean look.
For the woman who is the epitome of Sporty Spice...
Michelle can't be bothered with stressing over what to wear on a date with bae so she sticks to her favorite laid-back staples. From the cargo pants to the sneakers, she is ready for wherever the night make take her.
For the woman who can't get enough of graphic tees...
Get into Rocky's eclectic night on the town look! You can don this getup to brunch or dinner or the movies because the graphic tee makes it extremely versatile. When trying to achieve this look, make sure you find a top that is colorful enough to blend with a classic patterned skirt.
For the woman who loves denim...
We don't know about you but we believe denim is so clutch for first dates. They are both chill and trendy which gives off an effortless vibe. Shelley leveled up her frayed denim by coupling it with a uniquely structured tube top. The accessories, both the handbag and the sunglasses, were superb additions.
For the woman that was born in heels...
If you're gonna strut your stuff, it might as well be in these heels. Dani's colorful outfit emanates confidence and allure. She accomplished color-blocking by pairing colors that complement one another. Use the color wheel from BirchBox below for assistance.
For the woman who is always suited and booted...
Choosing a suit for a date is risky but sexy; it shows your bold nature and lets your date know that you don't have time for games. This lilac on Surya's skin is a dream!
For the woman who adores a midi skirt...
And the category isssss.... live, work, pose! And this dressmaker did just that! She is giving so much life in this African printed skirt. We love that she added the sheer, tumescent top over the bandeau creating a voluptuous aesthetic.

While speaking to xoNecole, Eva shares that she’s a lot like the beloved 1994 character in many ways. “Lyric is so me. She's the odd flower. A flower nonetheless, but definitely not a peony,” she tells us.
“She's not the average flower you see presented, and so she reminds me of myself. I'm a sunflower, beautiful, but different. And what I loved about her character then, and even more so now, is that she was very sure of herself.
"Sure of what she wanted in life and okay to sacrifice her moments right now, to get what she knew she deserved later. And that is me. I'm not an instant gratification kind of a person. I am a long game. I'm not a sprinter, I'm a marathon.
America first fell in love with Eva when she graced our screens on cycle 3 of America’s Next Top Model in 2004, which she emerged as the winner. Since then, she's ventured into different avenues, from acting on various TV series like House of Payne to starring on Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Je-Caryous Johnson Entertainment
Eva praises her castmates and the play’s producer, Je’Caryous for her positive experience. “You know what? Je’Caryous fuels my audacity car daily, ‘cause I consider myself an extremely audacious woman, and I believe in what I know, even if no one else knows it, because God gave it to me. So I know what I know. That is who Je’Caryous is.”
But the mom of three isn’t the only one in the family who enjoys acting. Eva reveals her daughter Marley has also caught the acting bug.
“It is the most adorable thing you can ever see. She’s got a part in her school play. She's in her chorus, and she loves it,” she says. “I don't know if she loves it, because it's like, mommy does it, so maybe I should do it, but there is something about her.”
Overall, Eva hopes that her contribution to the role and the play as a whole serves as motivation for others to reach for the stars.
“I want them to walk out with hope. I want them to re-vision their dreams. Whatever they were. Whatever they are. To re-see them and then have that thing inside of them say, ‘You know what? I'm going to do that. Whatever dream you put on the back burner, go pick it up.
"Whatever dream you've accomplished, make a new dream, but continue to reach for the stars. Continue to reach for what is beyond what people say we can do, especially as [a] Black collective but especially as Black women. When it comes to us and who we are and what we accept and what we're worth, it's not about having seen it before. It's about knowing that I deserve it.”

“They are products of their environment, of your parenting, of your personality, things like that. So check yourself,” Laurencia reminds us. Motherhood may come with a whole set of challenges and having to face yourself can be one of them. Laurencia opens up about how motherhood taught her to break generational cycles.

Joy, like most mothers, put their kids first. However, the mom of two is now learning that it's okay to put herself first. "It's okay to not fill your life up with your kids," she says. "It's okay to still be an individual and to actually actively and aggressively pursue being an individual versus a mom."

When it comes to Black mama rules, Michelle Ganey reflects on a classic one, "Do not embarrass me in public," she says. "I think one of my hardest struggles with kids is not caring about how they look when they leave the house and it feeling like its a direct reflection on me as a mother."
