We’ve all come to know and love Shoniqua Shandai as a prolific actor whose storytelling makes many of us feel seen, but it’s time to crown her as a fashion icon as well. Channeling Diana Ross in a fabulous purple garb designed by the Black-owned clothing brand Keäma excites us for her future fashion moments to come. Slay on!

Bianca Lawson is a national treasure and it makes total sense that she came dressed to impress. Showing up in a lovely green ensemble, Lawson confirmed what we already knew — she’s the queen of the ’90s and future generations to come. Get into it!

If there’s still a search for who should be the next gentleman to play James Bond in upcoming renditions, look no further! Jason McGhee came dressed to impress, looking very debonair in a simple yet stylish tuxedo, providing that class will never go out of style.
6. Terrell Grice

Terrell Grice played no games with his killer red carpet look. The houndstooth pattern, the color blocking and the GQ look put him in a category all of his own. We know that he’s one of the greatest YouTube personalities out there, but we foresee him trekking into the modeling game soon. You saw it here first!
Fashion is sacred in the Black community and always has been. It comes as no surprise that these celebrities came through dripping as it’s in our DNA. We can’t wait for next year’s show. What was your favorite look?
