#6: Tika Sumpter

Where: The Rosa Regale “Wonderful Life” Intimate Performance Series Featuring Estelle at The Darby Restaurant in New York City.
 
Why: Sumpter goes wild in a leopard blouse and head-turning studded shorts. But, it’s all about the conductor hat, which is an unexpected twist to the look — and we love it. Get the look!
