Heirs of Afrika

Arsema Thomas

Arsema played the younger Lady Danbury in Queen Charlotte, and is REALLY good in it -- she got a Rising Star award and it was well-deserved. She looks so dramatic and glam in this.

Sharon Nwosu

This is INCREDIBLE. I love it beyond.

Malinda Williams

Her purse looks like a clear plastic tote with another purse inside it?!? And that purse clashes mightily with her dress. I have notes.

Koshie Mills

She founded this event/organization, and accordingly got a MAJOR gown for it. I wish I had credits for more of these, but as of this writing, they hadn't posted to social media yet.

Osas Ighodaro

I was RIGHT with this one, without the river of sheers. A little goes a long way; just a bit less would have been more for me.

Loni Love

She hosted, and that's vibrant.

Aisha Nikole Curry

I also really like the stark, geometric look of this.

Monique Coleman

Her bra top is so underwhelming.

Side slits! Side slits are our friends!

She is a rapper and former Ice Cube protege, but: FRONT SLIT! It ends up looking like it got caught on her crotch.

Vanessa Obeng

At the very least, try the shorts approach! It works well here with that phenomenal fabric.

Bozoma Saint John

I THINK that's a scarf she's using there in place of jewelry? It's SO effective.

Rutina Wesley

The Air Jordans are a funky finish to this.

Juliet Ibrahim

I am so thrown by that one weird stripe of netting. Like a crescent moon of netting.

Kim Roxie

The design of this doesn't light my fire; I wish the two fabrics could've been intertwined in a more exciting way.

Like THIS. That's just wow.
