The ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Awards, held at the prestigious Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, was a grand affair, with stars gracing the red carpet in their finest attire.
Corsets have maintained their status as a fashion essential since making a comeback nearly five years ago. Zendaya elevated the trend by pairing a silver patterned Jean Paul Gautier corset with cuffed jeans and timeless white heels. She accessorized the whole structured ensemble with a circular chain belt and bold jewelry pieces.
Halle Bailey captivated onlookers in her magenta flowing, two-toned dress, which featured a unique criss-cross neckline. With a radiant smile, the ‘Women in Hollywood’ honoree confidently showcased her style, effortlessly embracing various shades of pink as she accepted her award.
Chloe Bailey stunned in an all-white ensemble while standing alongside her sister. The R&B singer embraced her feminine side with cut-out slits on the long-length turtleneck, adding a touch of allure to her look. She balanced the outfit’s sophistication with a hint of tomboyish flair by pairing the top with chic cargo pants.
Shannon Thornton commanded attention as she gracefully made her way down the red carpet. The P-Valley star donned a striking purple dress that beautifully highlighted her voluptuous forms. This three-dimensional design on the bodice was adorned with intricate silver embellishments throughout.
Tina Knowles, in an all-black ensemble accentuated by a striking gold and black belt, evoked the spirit of Schiaparelli with her distinct fashion sensibility.
A stylish suit is always a reliable choice! Letitia Wright demonstrated this perfectly in her olive green ensemble, accessorized with heels featuring beaded straps. To further elevate her look, she incorporated gold accents into her hairstyle, weaving them intricately into her cornrows.
Normani made a statement in a curve-hugging black bodysuit, exuding confidence and poise with every stride – and we loved it, while Skai Jackson wore a printed mini-dress with long puffed sleeves, highlighting her rosy make-up.
Serayah also sparkled on the carpet in a long strapless metallic gown, and Teyonah Parris was all seashells with her elegant golden dress completely adorned with the sea items.
The ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Awards not only celebrated talent but also served as a platform to showcase the influence and innovation of Black women in the entertainment industry.
