The theme of this year’s event was “Camp: Notes on Fashion”. The term, “Camp,” basically means stepping outside of the box of what society normally expects.

In my opinion though, I think this year, the celebrities didn’t go all out with their looks unlike previous years. Some of them actually came through and some snatched our edges while at it!

See below our favorite looks from the event.

Zendaya was a modern day edgy Cinderella in this flourescent Tommy Hilfiger dress. Super retro, love it!

Ciara came through dripping like the queen that she is in this gorgeous emerald dress designed by Peter Dundas. Gosh look at those abs of steel! *drops doughnut*

We think Ava Duvernay played safe but she looks hella gorgeous in this eye-catching green gown by Prada.

Billy “OMG” Porter came for our edges again last night with this golden fit by The Blonds.

Danai Gurira just never disappoints! She looks gorgeous in this outfit by Gabriela Hearst.

Dwayne Wade came through looking like gangsta royalty in this custom sparkling Dundas fit.

Yasssss Janelle! She looked absolutely picturesque in this ensemble by Christian Siriano.

Jourdan Dunn showed up on the red carpet looking like a rose flower in this design by Zac Posen. We love it!

Okay Lewis Hamilton! Go ahead with your bad self in this metallic zig-zag suit that we can’t really describe.

Lilly Singh came looked seriously enchanting in this purple ombre dress by Jeremy Scottgown.

Lupita Nyong’o never fails to disappoint and yet again, she proves that she is one of Hollywood’s finest fashionistas in this Prada dress.

Michael B. Jordan‘s Coach 1941 suit was fit for a superhero

Naomi Campbell looked stunning as always in this Pier Paolo Piccioli for Valentino Haute Couture dress.

Regina Hall showed off her toned legs in this gold, black and cream dress created by Gucci. #BlackDon’tCrack y’all!

Tracee Ellis Ross looked like a work of art in this dress by Jeremy Scott.

Marsai Martin & Nico Parker on Teen Vogue Magazine Cover Reminds Us that Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number https://queenmoremi.com/2019/03/marsai-martin-nico-parker-on-teen-vogue-magazine-cover-reminds-us-that-age-aint-nothing-but-a-number/ Thu, 21 Mar 2019 05:48:11 +0000 http://queenmoremi.com/?p=4533 Nico Parker and Marsai Martin remind us that when it comes to fulfilling one’s dreams, it’s never too early to start.

The duo appear on Teen Vogue‘s latest cover, and we are so inspired!

The two 14-year-olds are both on the edge of major breakthroughs: Martin is the Black-ish star-turned youngest executive producer of a film in history (for the upcoming Little, that she also stars in). Meanwhile, Parker is building on the legacy of her award-winning actress mother Thandie Newton with a co-starring role in Disney’s Tim Burton-directed live action remake of Dumbo, Teen Vogue reports.

Coincidentally, both Marsai and Nico grew up with a similar familiarity with Hollywood and the way the entertainment industry works.  She was 10 when she first pitched the idea for the movie to Universal, as a reversal of the Tom Hanks‘ classic Big, which was her mom’s favorite movie at the time. In February 2019, her company, Genius Productions, which she founded in 2017, signed a first-look deal with Universal for her scripted projects, according to Teen Vogue.

Dumbo features Nico as Milly Farrier, an aspiring scientist who sees Dumbo for the magical being he is, instead of as a freak or a series of dollar signs. Milly is both an adventurer and a caring, stabilizing presence for her unstable family; she’s quietly the catalyst for the whole movie’s sequence of events. It’s her and her younger brother’s patience and critical-thinking skills that save Dumbo’s life and the life of his mother.

Marsai shares an important message with the world: “Don’t count the kids out.”

Nico adds, “For young people, it’s often said that we’re always on our phones, and we’re not aware of our surroundings, or of what’s going on in the world, but that’s the complete opposite.”
