#8: Tatyana Ali

Where: ESSENCE’s 5th Annual Black Women in Hollywood luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles.

#5: Vanessa Williams

Where: 43rd Annual NAACP Image Awards.
 
Why: Something about Vanessa Williams’ draped strapless gown makes her look as if she hasn’t aged a day since first stepping on the scene. The gold floral pattern complemented her glowing bronze skin perfectly, and the style exposed just enough to make it sexy. Get the look!

#4: Amber Riley

Where: 43rd Annual NAACP Image Awards.
 
Why: Everything about Riley’s Theia gown is killer — the sexy asymmetrical style, curve-hugging fit, and the explosion of navy blue sequins. She knows what works for her and gets it right every time. Get the look!

#3: Rihanna

Where: The 2012 BRIT Awards.
 
Why: Rihanna gives her glamorous Swarovski-embellished Givenchy halter gown a tough touch with Solange Azagury-Partridge stud earrings, arm-length leather gloves and spiked ankle strap heels. It’s so her. Get the gloves!

Where: 43rd Annual NAACP Image Awards.
 
Why: Color is key, and this hot pink floor-length Naven gown flooded the carpet with it, making her the brightest and most youthful look of the night. Get the look!

#1: Kerry Washington

Where: ESSENCE’s 5th Annual Black Women in Hollywood event at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles.
 
Why: White leather is such an unconventional look, so Washington’s Cushnie et Ochs peplum dress took us by surprise — in a great way. It was super sharp. Get the look!
