(He'll be played by Michael B. Jordan, obviously.) ## Janelle Monae ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/03/shutterstock_9446381ds-1519953030.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Jen Lowery/SilverHub/REX/Shutterstock (9446381ds) Janelle Monae Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards Arrivals Los Angeles USA 01 Mar 2018 Janelle will play Lupita's eccentric corporate lawyer. ## Lena Waithe ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/03/shutterstock_9446073av-1519952935.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stewart Cook/WWD/REX/Shutterstock (9446073av) Lena Waithe Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards, Los Angeles, USA - 01 Mar 2018 Lena Waithe is so damn cool.

This is one of the best looks she's ever modeled, I think. She looks great. ## Simone Missick ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/03/shutterstock_9446237ci-1519952976.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by MediaPunch/REX/Shutterstock (9446237ci) Simone Missick Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, USA - 01 Mar 2018 This red carpet is making me want a patterned suit SO BADLY. ## Amandla Stenberg in Preen ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/03/shutterstock_9446381ac-1519952992.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Jen Lowery/SilverHub/REX/Shutterstock (9446381ac) Amandla Stenberg Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards Arrivals Los Angeles USA 01 Mar 2018 I love this dress; I just keep thinking it has spaghetti stripes that I cannot see. ## Ajiona Alexus ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/03/shutterstock_9446381h-1519953040.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Jen Lowery/SilverHub/REX/Shutterstock (9446381h) Ajiona Alexus Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards Arrivals Los Angeles USA 01 Mar 2018 I know Ajiona from her part on *13 Reasons Why*, but she ALSO plays Teen Cookie on *Empire*, and frankly I want to read an entire YA series about Teen Cookie. ## Yvette Nicole Brown ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/03/shutterstock_9446381js-1519953098.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Jen Lowery/SilverHub/REX/Shutterstock (9446381js) Yvette Nicole Brown Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards Arrivals Los Angeles USA 01 Mar 2018 She basically always looks great, but I wish her clutch picked up some of the colors in her top. ## Symphani Soto ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/03/shutterstock_9446381ho-1519953054.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Jen Lowery/SilverHub/REX/Shutterstock (9446381ho) Symphani Soto Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards Arrivals Los Angeles USA 01 Mar 2018 I'm generally not a fan of this cut of gown -- the tiny gaping midriff hole so often looks like a mouth -- but this is FAB on her. ## Tiffany Haddish in Alice + Olivia ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/03/shutterstock_9446381je-1519953079.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Jen Lowery/SilverHub/REX/Shutterstock (9446381je) Tiffany Haddish Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards Arrivals Los Angeles USA 01 Mar 2018 Alice + Olivia makes SO much sense for Tiffany -- they're so young and peppy and optimistic feeling. ## Betty Gabriel ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/03/shutterstock_9446381av-1519953013.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Jen Lowery/SilverHub/REX/Shutterstock (9446381av) Betty Gabriel Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards Arrivals Los Angeles USA 01 Mar 2018 This is elegant. ## Tessa Thompson in Ralph & Russo ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/03/shutterstock_9446381ib-1519953068.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Jen Lowery/SilverHub/REX/Shutterstock (9446381ib) Tessa Thompson Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards Arrivals Los Angeles USA 01 Mar 2018 Technically not a pattern, but I couldn't resist the big finish.
