Career-wise, Saniyya Sidney had a major enough year: She played both Sasha Obama and Venus Williams, the latter to what I think should've been louder acclaim in *King Richard*. That meant she had to navigate the tricky feat of an award season where she was the true co-star of the movie, but not the nominee, and also a 15-year old. She and her stylist, Alexandra Mandlekorn, handled it with joy and grace and panache, and we decided it deserved an accolade all its own. You already saw [this adorable yellow frock](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/yellow-in-2022/essence-black-women-in-hollywood-los-angeles-california-usa-24-mar-2022-28?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and [her foray into gloves](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/gloves-2022/15th-annual-wif-oscar-party-hollywood-los-angeles-california-usa-25-mar-2022-10?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io); now let's admire the rest.
