The Essence Black Women in Hollywood event is one of our favorites!
The 10th annual awards gala took place in Beverly Hills on Thursday, bringing out some of the most beautiful and accomplished women in Hollywood right now.

Janelle Monae, Gabrielle Union, and Laverne Cox were some of the biggest names hitting the red light gray carpet and looking fabulous.
Janelle’s white tuxedo with black and yellow piping was probably our fave, but Gabrielle in her black embellished dress and Laverne all in lace looked incredible too! We especially appreciate Gabby’s old-fashioned vibe.
Also attending were Tracee Ellis Ross, Viola Davis, and Tina Lawson, all of whom simply glowed!
Tracee took the biggest risk by going sheer in a blush-toned, ruffled and tiered high-neck number, while Viola made sure to stand out in a bright fuchsia halter gown and Miss Tina killed in a peplum pantsuit.
Fantastic showing!
