As much of Hollywood prepares for the upcoming Academy Awards on March 10, Black Hollywood started celebrating early at the sixth American Black Film Festival (ABFF) Honors on Sunday, March 3. Hosted by actor and comedian Tommy Davidson, the festivities took place at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. In addition to this year’s honorees — Garrett Morris, Taraji P. Henson, Jeffrey Wright, Mara Brock Akil and Kelvin Harrison Jr. — stars including Issa Rae, David Oyelowo, Yvonne Orji, Wendell Pierce, Leslie Jones and more turned out to pay tribute, dressed in their awards season Sunday best.
In keeping with trends theGrio has spotted on other recent red carpets, the color red made several dramatic appearances, proving it is still the shade of the season. Sexy, sparkling silhouettes were also dazzlingly displayed, as worn by Henson, Tai Beauchamp and Javicia Leslie. Nevertheless, the strongest fashion statement of the night echoed the mission of the celebration: Whether in film or fashion, you can always bet on Black.
Who wore it best? Check out theGrio’s red carpet recap of the ABFF Honors below.
