Fashion Favorites from ESSENCE's 2015 Black Women In Music

From Zendaya's fab frock to Chaka Khan’s leather combo, peep our fashion faves here!

By Candace Marie Stewart · February 6, 2015October 27, 2020
01
Brandy

Ladies, school is in session and Brandy is giving us a master class in structured style.  The R&B singer flaunted an impeccable Stella McCartney jumpsuit and blazer combo with a classic white pump.

Ciara

Wrapped in sophisticated chic, Ciara mastered a stylish black-out in this sweeping Zuhair Murad gown. The songstress’ simple straps and sultry slit keeps us wanting more of her classically daring look.

Lianne La Havas

Check her out! This sultry songbird ruled the red carpet in a military navy yet bohemian styled gown. La Havas added a meticulous gold clutch and choker like necklace to nip the ensemble together with ease.

Jill Scott

It’s a tricky hue for some, but Jill nailed it indeed. This bold pop of cobalt blue turned this trendy frock into a show stopper. As if the dress wasn’t already a head turner, the singer slayed in a pair of vibrant stiletto heels.

05
Amber Riley

This Glee star sported a playful graphic top with a delicate sheer paneled skirt that instantly played up her figure. The vocalist definitely brought her A-game when it came to mixing uptown elegance with downtown graphics.

Frank Micelotta

Chaka Khan

This beautiful diva was anything but subtle with her confidently sleek leather attire. Chaka pulled together her ensemble effortlessly with a flowy yet carefree sheer blouse, stylish fan and a trendy belt.

Tamera Mowry-Housley

Oh Baby! Tamera glowed in her strapless all white  gown and stunning nude pumps. The uneven hem and simple stilettos elongated the actress’ figure while still stylishly playing up her best accessory of the night – Her baby bump of course!

Michael Tran
08
Leona Lewis

Talk about being stunned! This gorgeous British babe hit the red carpet in biker chic.  The beauty topped off her ensemble with a stand-out jeweled hand piece and ear-cuff.

09
Goapele

Oh my! Goapele played nice yet “Olivia Pope” sophisticated when she hit the red carpet.  As if the peep-toe platform wasn’t enough the starlet flaunted an unexpected cold shoulder with a hint of midriff in her fabulous frock.

Zendaya

There’s just something about this Disney darling’s attire that we totally love. The 18-year-old played up her look with a graphic color-blocking and bold polka-dotted off the shoulder dress.
