Fashion Deets: The Roots Night One Premiere Screening with Emayatzy Corinealdi in CD Greene, Anika Noni Rose in Georges Chakra, Derica Cole Washington in 5:31 JEROME, and More!

The new Roots miniseries on the History channel debuts on Monday! The stars were certainly out for its premiere in strapless numbers, relaxed suits, bold prints, and more.
Let’s see what they wore!


Emayatzy Corinealdi smoldered in a black and white, off-the-shoulder gown by CD Greene. She’s stunning.

Anika Noni Rose slipped on a purple strapless Georges Chakra gown with an embellished bodice.

Artist Derica Cole Washington easily had one of the best looks of the week in a floral-embellished 5:31 JEROME dress. Hot!

It was all about prints for Erica Tazel in a one-shoulder red and black patterned Chiara Boni number. This was fab.

T.I. kept it casual, but polished in a black and navy ensemble, anchored by Jordans.

Anna Paquin shimmered and sparkled in a sequin-encrusted Escada gown with an illusion neckline and belt cinching her waist.

Eternal heartthrob Mario Van Peebles was dapper in all black.

Derek Luke followed Mario’s lead, choosing a contrast lapel suit for the evening.

Actress Kirby Jackson uplifted a simple LBD with strappy sandals and a gemstone-adorned clutch. She’s a beauty!

Head of Television for Will Packer Productions, Korin Huggins, gave some flair to the classic black and white ensemble with a glossy, geometric-print floor grazing skirt.
