(Everything is elevated by her face, though.) ## Uzo Aduba ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffn_essencebwinholly_afp_021915_51658622.xml) Uzo, [going full Kate Middleton on us](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/well-played-kate-wills-and-georges-royal-tour-of-australia-and-new-zealand-day-thirteen-04-2014/). I KNEW WE COULD BE FRIENDS, UZO. ## Chanel Iman ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffn_essencebwinholly_afp_021915_51658541.xml) I just love this on her. It's athletic, but not wacky. ## Kelly Rowland ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffn_essencebwinholly_afp_021915_51658544.xml) I would have liked this better as a dress, of course. Also lined, of course. Go home and start again, Kelly. But you can keep that bag. ## Lorraine Toussaint ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffn_essencebwinholly_afp_021915_51658546.xml) Lately, she always looks to me like an incredibly rich society lady in a really, really good soap opera. (This is a compliment.) Does *Empire* need a snooty society lady character? ## Aja Naomi King ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffn_essencebwinholly_afp_021915_51658553.xml) She is so pretty. I wish I could see this without her hands in the pockets, but it's nice on her and her lipstick is PERFECT. ## Common ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffn_essencebwinholly_afp_021915_51658551.xml) Just taking a quick break for some handsomeness. ## Alfre Woodard ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffn_essencebwinholly_afp_021915_51658555.xml) This feels a little bit like two dresses tossed together at the last minute. ## Ava DuVernay ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffn_essencebwinholly_afp_021915_51658560.xml) This dress is AWESOME on her. ## Laverne Cox ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffn_essencebwinholly_afp_021915_51658595.xml) I really like this more low-key look from Laverne, BUT! I might have paired it with a more intriguing shoe? ## Carmen Ejogo ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffn_essencebwinholly_afp_021915_51658562.xml) I cannot sign off on a dress that involves Boob Flaps, but her red lipstick is ALSO great. ## Tia Mowry ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffn_essencebwinholly_afp_021915_51658565.xml) If Lorraine is a glorious grande dame in an amazing nighttime soap, Tia is the cheesy girl her son brings home to great disapproval. ## Tracee Ellis Ross ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffn_essencebwinholly_afp_021915_51658619.xml) She is really working this dress. ## David Oyelowo, Jessica Oyelowo ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffn_essencebwinholly_afp_021915_51658570.xml) The Oyelowos are such a well-dressed pair. ## Holly Robinson Peete ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffn_essencebwinholly_afp_021915_51658586.xml) This is totally over the top, but am I wrong to kind of like it? In my New Nighttime Soap, she is Lorraine's Second in Command. ## Jurnee Smollett ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffn_essencebwinholly_afp_021915_51658590.xml) YOU GUYS. THESE SHOES. ## Regina King ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffn_essencebwinholly_afp_021915_51658603.xml) She looks way crazier and older in this than she actually is. Well. She might actually be crazier than we know. But older, for sure. ## Samira Wiley ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffn_essencebwinholly_afp_021915_51658607.xml) From the waist up, I think she is perfection. But those pants make my face hurt. ## Sharon Leal ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffn_essencebwinholly_afp_021915_51658610.xml) So many dresses at this event! ## Shonda Rhimes ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffn_essencebwinholly_afp_021915_51658612.xml) I am not into these shoes, but I kind of love this whole look on Shonda. It's so elegant but not boring. She looks like a professional to be taken seriously (which she is) but not dull.
