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!

Lupita Nyong’o to Sprinkle Some Black Girl Magic in Charlie’s Angels Reboot https://queenmoremi.com/2018/07/lupita-nyongo-to-sprinkle-some-black-girl-magic-in-charlies-angels-reboot/ Sun, 08 Jul 2018 18:26:15 +0000 http://queenmoremi.com/?p=2997 Yes, you heard that right!

Our very own African screen goddess, Lupita Nyong’o has been up to something really exciting.

Last year, there were rumours that a Charlie’s Angels reboot was on the way, to be directed by Elizabeth Banks.

Now, Deadline is reporting that that the final cast has been announced and the new fighting trio will include Lupita Nyong’o, Naomi Scott, and Twilight’s Kristen Stewart.

Charlie’s Angels was deemed a classic after the first one hit the big screen in the year 2000, with Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu starring as the crime fighters working at a private detective agency for the mysterious, unseen character, Charlie Townsend.


This would be the first time in history that a black girl is cast as part of the popular trio. The closest we ever came to this was the Destiny’s Child Charlie’s Angels inspired music video.

The reboot is slated to hit theatres June 7, 2019, and best believe we will be there to watch and cheer on our girl. 

Well done Lupita!
