Black women are dreamy, like the sky blue backdrop at this year’s Essence Black Women In Hollywood luncheon. The beauties of Black Hollywood assembled in the glow of sunny LA where it’s always golden hour. The evening’s honorees: Kerry Washington, Chase Infiniti, LaTanya Richardson Jackson, and Zinzi Coogler with the Luminary Spotlight on the women of Sinners have hit the cloud dancer colored carpet in chic looks that captured the essence of the annual event.
