Celebrities championing Black designers symbolize a positive shift in the fashion industry. For a while it was feeling pretty quiet when it came to supporting these creatives within fashion post-COVID but, some key celebs show that this is something their stylists are tying to their talent’s personal image. When a celebrity uses their platforms to amplify underrepresented voices, they evoke change and help create a future where more emerging Black designers have a higher chance of receiving the recognition they deserve.
Saweetie turned heads in a stunning Sergio Hudson bright Barbie pink cropped wool jacket, and black tights, effortlessly combining a look we’d describe as edgy glam. Emmy-winning actress Sheryl Lee Ralph looked gorgeous in her rainbow-colored KAPHILL jacket for Backstage styled by daughter Ivy Coco Maurice. Victoria Monét sported her new Brandon Blackwood Mini Kendrick Trunk Bag with her sparkly tie top and low-rise black pants. Zendaya also has a Sergio Hudson moment in a baby blue button-down dress with a belt detail at the waist with a pair of power pumps for Elle.

Sarah Jakes Roberts In Bruce Glen
Minister, writer and businesswoman Sarah Jakes Roberts looks stunning in a colorful Bruce Glen shirt and pants set. Bruce Glen is a Black-owned brand founded by twin pastors turned designers so it’s only fitting that T.D. Jakes’ daughter wears a piece by them. She let her vibrant clothes do the talking and kept the rest of her look simple with minimal jewelry and silver pointed pumps peeking from underneath the satin flowy pants.
