Celebrity Looks We Love from Urban One Honors

All eyes were on Chloe Bailey tonight as she graced the 6th Annual Urban One Honors: Best in Black red carpet in Atlanta. The “In Pieces” artist was in the Peach City to receive Urban One Honors’ Generation Next Award. Chloe was one of several Black changemakers honored at the event. Each year, Urban One Honors highlights individuals whose achievements and contributions have left an indelible mark on society.

Looking like the gorgeous winner she is, Chloe rocked a sheer gown with a halter neckline, nude sheath underlay, and rhinestone stripes from Retrofete. The rhinestones adorned Chloe’s body from head to toe.

Her hair – which keeps many of us up at night – was styled in hip-length individual braids (masking her signature locs). Chloe’s makeup was equally glamorous, with dramatic lashes, bronze cheek highlights, and a pink nude lip. While we love Chloe’s fabulous look, we couldn’t help but get a slight case of style déjà vu. Chloe and her sister Halle rocked similar gowns when attending the Global Citizen Event 2021. Wearing matching sheer and rhinestone gowns, Chloe X Halle stunned photographers with their sophisticated yet stunning shimmery look. We wouldn’t call it an outfit repeat, but this style of gown and cut works well for the Bailey sisters. And we are here for it!

Mary J. Blige slays Urban One Honors in a black sculpted designer gown

Several other members of Black Hollywood joined Chloe on the red carpet. Other Urban One honorees spotted on the carpet include Dionne Warwick and Mary J. Blige. Together, the three represented three generations of female soul greats worth celebrating. Tonight, Urban One took time to give each woman her flowers. Mary, Urban Honors’ Entertainment Icon Awardee, shut down the carpet in a black couture dress by Indian designer Gaurav Gupta. The gown fits Mary like a glove with tailored, sculpted angles, molded fabric, and perfectly placed cutouts. (If Mary’s design looks familiar, the sculpted details on her gown are reminiscent of others worn by Beyonce and Cardi B.)

7. B. Simone

B. Simone ate. Period. We love her striking red leopard print velvet dress with ruching, one-shoulder design, and train. Styled by Amy J., B. Simone’s look is a bold statement and is perfect for the red carpet.

8. Angie Stone

Angie Stone attends the Atlanta evening event looking fabulous! Her silver and black turtleneck and high-waisted A-line skirt are very flattering on her figure.

10. Erica Campbell

Erica Campbell is another starlet bringing color to the Urban One Honors carpet. The gospel singer, styled by J. Bolin, wears a stunning deep green sequin dress with fringe fur sleeves. Erica’s hair is also worth noting with its bouncy big curls that make you want to ‘whip your hair back and forth’!

11. Wendy Osefo

If you’ve ever seen Wendy Osefo, you know she loves bringing the drama! Her aqua gown does just that. From her gown’s bold shoulders to its long train, Wendy is ready for an evening of glamour and excellence.
