Fashion Deets: The 2016 Essence Black Women in Music Event with Zendaya Coleman, Yara Shahidi in Moschino, Corinne Bailey Rae, and More!

Ahead of the GRAMMYs, Essence threw their 2016 Black Women in Music event. Our favorite teen actresses were in attendance, along with stylish songstresses, and more.
Here are the evening’s getups!


Zendaya Coleman mixed textures in a black leather button-front shirt layered over a lace-trim maxi dress with a thigh-high slit, anchored with suede over-the-knee boots. She never disappoints.

It was all about prints for Yara Shahidi in a bold Moschino dress and pigtail buns. So cute!

Corinne Bailey Rae paired a ladylike bow-accented jacket with gold metallic skinnies and black leather booties.

V. Bozeman upped the glamour quotient in a black feather top and embellished pencil skirt.

DJ Rashida served up a boho chic moment in a printed silky caftan and orange lips. Hot!

Tweet was a ray of sunshine in a yellow flare dress. Such a natural beauty.

Jasmine Sullivan toughened up florals and statement-making chandelier earrings with a black leather jacket.

Andra Day couldn’t be missed in a colorful gown with leopard print panels. This wasn’t my cup of tea…one too many focal points.

Johnetta Elzie kept it cute and casual in dark berry lips, a graphic t-shirt, and black leather platform booties.

Estelle slipped on a black and white graphic Burberry shirt dress and Gucci Quilted Leather Mules for the event.
