Fab Ladies: 2012 Essence Black Women in Hollywood Photos


Oscar week is a busy week in Hollywood. But the highlight during this fabulous time for me, is Essence’s Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon. Each year, Essence magazine celebrates Black women in television and film that have had an amazing body of work and who have helped shaped Hollywood, breaking barriers and taking names.

This year, Essence Black Women in Hollywood honored the following fabulous ladies: actress Kerry Washington, actress Octavia Spencer, actress and ground breaker Pam Grier, actress Paula Patton, and screen writer and executive producer, Shonda Rimes.

Below are pictures from the luncheon which took place yesterday afternoon. How glamorous! 🙂

    Viola looks fabulous! I like Octavia’s ensemble but it’s a little on the casual side. She looks lovely though. Emma Stone’s dress is so pretty. She looks great!

    I’m not loving Wendy Raquel’s top. No ma’am LaTanya Richardson. No. Ma’am. That outfit ages her and I see black bra beneath that light colored top, smh…

    Kelly Rowland looks fabulous but that lion mane weave is overpowering her small frame and taking over her cute face.

    Yellow looks great on Anika. The dress is adorable without being too cutesy.

    Pam Grier and Lynn Whitefield look amazing!!! Love Lynn’s dress. Great color, style, and age apropos!

    Jurnee Smollet looks very pretty. Jill Scott looks nice. Not loving the shoes with that ensemble though.

    Not loving Tracee Ellis Ross’ look but she’s a fashion risk taker and I love that about her.

    Last week Paula Patton was at NYFW looking preggers. Where’s the bump? She looks good. I like the simplicity of Kerry’s outfit. Very chic.

    Jordin Sparks needs a pop of color. Cute sparkly LBD, but the black shoes weigh down her look.

    Not Tanika Ray’s finest fashion moment. She looks ready to hit a club not host an A list event.
