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!
