We’re under a week away from the highly-anticipated premiere of The Color Purple and fans are squirming in their seats to see how director Blitz Bazawule will reimagine Alice Walker’s iconic novel. The leading ladies of the film — Taraji P. Henson, Danielle Brooks, and Fantasia Barrino — are already receiving Oscar nods for their incredible performances in the upcoming remake, but their acting skills are not the only thing generating buzz from fans and netizens of social media.
The trio and the entire cast have been serving up award-winning fashion and flair as they trot around the globe for The Color Purple press tour, which kicked off in the spring and will rage on until the film’s premiere Dec. 25. From Sergio Hudson to Nicolas Jebran, here are some of our favorite looks from The Color Purple press tour.

She paired the sophisticated look with a blue headband, blue tights and a pair of chunky platform heels.
