Best Dressed At The Black Women In Hollywood And Other Events

he days leading up to the 2024 Oscars marked a style awakening for fashion-forward celebrities and influencers. The glitz and glam took center stage, keeping the paparazzi busy. Additionally, the Green Carpet Fashion Awards spotlighted fashion icons like Zendaya, while Essence Magazine’s Black Women In Hollywood showcased a generous dose of black girl magic. Overall, textures stole the show last week, with sequins, leather, and silk gracing celebrities in their full glory.

The Looks

Zendaya has evolved from merely being “the moment” to ushering in a new era of style. She’s a fashion risk-taker who consistently embraces trends and puts her unique spin on them. Collaborating with her style fairy “godmother,” Law Roach, the actress donned a crocodile print Roberto Cavalli archive dress adorned with gray fringes and metal studs at the Green Carpet Fashion Awards. Trust Roberto Cavalli to incorporate animal prints into any dress.

Elsewhere, Victoria Monét extended the animal print theme by sporting a snakeskin bralette paired with a flowing skirt adorned with floral details and a delicate crop, all by Roberto Cavalli. The ensemble showcased her edgy side and inspired us to prepare our summer bodies before the season arrives.

Last week, celebrities leaned towards feminine choices. For example, Tems brought sultriness to the Billboard Women in Music event in a black feather-trimmed Maison Alaia dress, while Brandee Evans opted for gold in an outfit that was anything but subtle.
