Posted on December 07, 2023

Darlings, can you guess which was the most popular color to wear at the LA premiere of The Color Purple? We bet you can. What’s of minor interest to us is how the almost all of the purples are the exact same shade, which makes us think a call or two went out. Anyway, we had to give non-purple-wearer and star of the film Fantasia her own spotlight post because her ensemble was worthy of it, but honestly, every one of these attendees came prepared to serve.

That is pretty damn spectacular. Maybe this is nitpicky of us, but the earrings are a bit much.

 

Amber Riley in Norma Kamali

She looks gorgeous wearing a dress we don’t love all that much.

 

Angela Bassett in Gaurav Gupta

This is dramatic and interesting and she looks pretty great in it, but it looks like a total pain in the ass to wear.

 

Ariana DeBose in LaQuan Smith

Love it. The sheer top is a great touch.

 

 

Chloe Bailey in Cong Tri

We appreciate a lined gown, but unfortunately, the lining on this one is kind of bad. The gloves are very bad.

 

 

Ciara in Georges Hobeika

That baby is having a party and we’re really happy for it.

 

Colman Domingo in Louis Vuitton

The color looks great and we’re loving those Prince boots, but the shape of the pants is kind of awful and the crotch tassels are hilariously bad.

 

Danielle Brooks in Nicolas Jebran
Pin

Simply impossible to argue with any of that. She looks amazing.

 

H.E.R. in Pamella Roland
Pin

Gorgeous. Love the ombre effect. It looks a little snug in the bust, but considering there’s no spillover anywhere there or in the side cutout, that’s a damn impressive fit.

 

Halle Bailey in Off-White

There seems to be a growing trend toward these big-ass old school ballgown skirts. We really like this one, but it bugs that the top and the skirt don’t match perfectly.

 

Oprah Winfrey in Dolce & Gabbana

Well alright, Oprah! The fit’s a little off, but she looks fantastic. Love the shoe.

 

 

Storm Reid in Tony Ward
Pin

It’s sexy and relatively low-key, if you can say such a thing about a slit-to-the-hip dress with an open back. The shoe is gorgeous.

 

 

Taraji P. Henson in Vlora Mustafa
Pin

LOVE this. It’s dramatic and exuberant and practically screams “DIVA!”

 

Tyler Perry in Tom Ford
Pin

That is a gorgeous suit.
