We are only days into Women’s History Month, and Black women are already showing up and showing out on the fashion front at the 2024 ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood event.
Celebrating the leading ladies behind and in front of the camera, this year’s honorees and guests brought the heat with both their work and their outfits, and we truly love to see it! And because we love Black women from infinity to infinity over here, let’s take a look at some of the looks we loved!
Danielle Brooks

We’ll start off strong with Oscar-nominated actress and 2024 ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood honoree Danielle Brooks who came out shining in gold. Perhaps looking like the trophies she’s won this awards season? How apropos!
Zendaya

If there’s one thing we can always count on Zendaya for, it’s serving a look—even if she’s in jeans! Shoutout to her and her longtime stylist Law Roach. They’ve had all hits and no misses!
Normani

Normani may have kept it classic in a black ensemble but we’re still feeling all the dopamine over this look and her upcoming music! Normani Hive, stand up1
Chloe x Halle

Arguably two of the most stylish sisters in young Hollywood, Chloe Bailey and 2024 ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood honoree Halle Bailey slayed on the carpet in white and pink!
Tia Mowry and Tamera Mowry-Housely

Sister, Sister! We always knew how much we loved Tia Mowry and Tamera Mowry-Housely, especially when it comes to looking good on a carpet!
Marsai Martin

Marsai Martin recently asked us all on Instagram if we missed her, and the answer is yes! I mean, just look at the fashion and the face card!
Method Man

OK, so while Method Man is clearly not a Black woman in Hollywood, he was the host at the 2024 event and looked stellar in pale pink. (He looks stellar in anything, if we’re being honest!)
Michaela Jae Rodriguez

Michaela Jaé Rodriguez is always ready to strike a pose and give us a look and we should all take notes!
Amber Riley

Amber Riley came in shining, shining, shining in silver sequins and we’re delightfully blinded by her beauty!
Leslie Jones

Leslie Jones ushered in an early spring with her blue floral dress and made us grateful for her funny and her fashions!
Gail Bean

We’ll be thinking about this lime green floral moment on Gail Bean for a minute! The way the color compliments her skin tone and ginger toned hair? Chef’s kiss. That’s Big Bean to y’all, not the little one!
Letitia Wright

Letitia Wright stunted in a green leather suit fit for a queen! That’s our new Black Panther! All hail her royal freshness!
Loni Love

2022 Root 100 host and honoree Loni Love came through looking gorgeous in a black patterned number complete with gold accessories and we love to see it!
Brandee Evans

Speaking of gold, Brandee Evans looking like a literal trophy is the only look we want to see Black women don from here on out! Do you see the shine, the lustre, the exquisiteness? It’s giving Black girl luxury at its finest!
Andra Day

Everybody rise up and take a good look at Andra Day’s fit! Such a stunner, per ususal!
Kathryn Busby

2024 ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood honoree Kathryn Busby shined bright in bright yellow and served as a beautiful reminder of the power of Black women behind-the-scenes!
Nkechi Okoro Carroll

2024 ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood honoree Nkechi Okoro Carroll looked radiant in white and served as a beautiful reminder of the power of Black women behind-the-scenes!
