Mýa Harrison Slays in Dolce & Gabbana Vest for “The Best of Me” bike helmet scene

Mýa brought early-2000s designer attitude to her “The Best of Me” era, sporting a black silver embroidered Dolce & Gabbana vest in the Chris Robinson-directed visual with Jadakiss. Released in 2000, the look captures the period when luxury Italian labels were being folded into R&B and hip-hop's increasingly influential streetwear vocabulary.

Before Y2K fashion became a nostalgia trend, Mýa Harrison was already living it.

For her 2000 “The Best of Me” era, the R&B star slipped into a Dolce & Gabbana vest on bike helmet removal scene of the shoot, giving the look that unmistakable early-2000s mix of sexy, polished and effortlessly cool.

The vest wasn't trying too hard. That was the point.

Paired with Mýa's youthful beauty and understated styling, the Italian designer piece brought a touch of luxury to an otherwise relaxed R&B aesthetic. It was the kind of styling that defined the era—designer fashion meeting music, attitude and just enough skin.

Mýa's fashion during this period understood something that still works today: one strong designer piece can carry an entire look.

And two decades later, the vest still feels surprisingly current.

JaiyeorieStyle verdict: Y2K luxury, before Y2K became a trend.This is the direction I’d use for JaiyeorieStyle: fashion as evidence of a cultural moment, rather than simply “Mýa wore X.”

Toke Makinwa Serves $18000 Bvlgari Serpenti + $2500 Dolce & Gabbana Glam at Rakeem’s First Birthday

 

Toke Makinwa brought the glamour to Rakeem’s first birthday celebration in Lagos, stepping out in a striking white-and-red Dolce & Gabbana mini dress paired with a Bvlgari Serpenti Jaiyeoriestyle was waiting for her to unveil her piece as Toke hated been left out and feeling small to her peers.

The media personality attended Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux’s son Rakeem’s cowboy-themed first birthday, held at The Lekki Coliseum, and naturally made her own fashion statement. Her Dolce & Gabbana mini dress gave the look a playful, polished feel, while the accessories pushed it firmly into luxury territory.

The standout wrist candy was a Bvlgari Serpenti Tubogas featuring a green dial with rose gold and stainless-steel detailing. Bvlgari currently lists the closest matching Ref. 102790 at $18,100, although the exact reference worn by Toke has not been independently confirmed.

The colour combination was particularly effective: red and white from the dress, green at the wrist and the warm glow of rose gold. Rather than competing with the dress, the watch added an unexpected jewel-toned accent.

Toke was also joined at the birthday celebration by her daughter, Yakira Eliana, with the mother-daughter duo making an appearance in coordinated Dolce & Gabbana looks.Her Christian Louboutin's current white Just Nothing white mule is $795.

For a child's first birthday, Toke's outfit landed somewhere between playful and polished—and the Serpenti was the piece that made sure the look still felt unmistakably Toke.

The dress was cute, but that Bvlgari Serpenti was doing some serious heavy lifting.
