Billboard’s Women in Music event was held on March 29 in Inglewood, California, and the girls did not come to play. Some of the biggest names in music, fashion, and culture stepped out in head-turning looks, proving once again that Black women are the epitome of style and fashion.
From sheer dresses and trench coat styles to bold hues and iconic vintage pieces, this year’s “blue carpet“ was everything. And it makes sense because if there’s any place to flex, it’s at an event celebrating women!
