Urban One Honors celebrated its 6th annual event at the Coca Cola Roxy in Atlanta, shining a spotlight on incredible contributions to the arts, music, and media. The venue was filled with influential figures known for making significant changes and breaking new ground in their fields.
Grammy-award-winning singer Mary J. Blige was honored as the Entertainment Icon recipient, while R&B singer Chlöe received the Generation Next Honoree award. Mary J. Blige stood out in a stunning black lava Gaurav Gupta gown from the “Shunya collection,” perfectly matching the event’s “Best in Black” theme. Meanwhile, Chlöe dazzled in a $1,598 tonal sequin retrofete ‘Haven’ dress with clear stone crystals, topped off with matching gloves and radiant sun-kissed glam.
LeToya Luckett, former member of Destiny’s Child, was a vision in a powder pink $2,545 Toni Maticevski gown paired with black thigh-high Balenciaga boots. Her blonde pixie cut and smokey eye makeup complemented her stylish attire. When asked by Fashion Bomb Daily correspondent Sheek about her first designer purchase, Luckett revealed it was most likely a Gucci bag.
Toya Johnson impressed with goddess vibes in a yellow Bronx and Banco gown featuring frayed edges and a long train. B. Simone, the comedian and actress, sported a red custom London Couture leopard print gown with an asymmetrical design and high slit, completing her look with a bold red lip, china bangs, and diamond jewelry.
On the red carpet, Sheek also chatted with Muni Long, who wore a baby blue, black, and white $1,810 geometrical Emilio Pucci dress. Long praised Fashion Bomb Daily for showcasing black fashion and style, appreciating their detailed breakdowns of looks and where to purchase them.
Singer Summer Walker brought a touch of Old Hollywood glamour, channeling a black Marilyn Monroe with her blonde curls and strapless Dolce & Gabbana lace gown, paired with diamond Louboutin mules.
These were some of our favorite looks from Urban One Honors, and we admired the elegance displayed on the red carpet. With award season and Fashion Week around the corner, we expect more fierce and fabulous looks to come.
