Style Highlights from Essence Festival: A Showcase of Iconic Trends and Timeless Elegance
By: Jayla Smith
To start off the excitement, the world’s fan favorite has done it again! Usher has unapologetically made us admire him again and again as a LEGEND. When it comes to Usher’s fashion sense, he has completely made the blazer moment his own. A fan fave is dressing down a complex suit with a baseball cap featuring the big "A"—representing Atlanta in the best way possible. Usher has also mastered channeling Michael Jackson's iconic one-glove moment. We STAN King Usher. This is a moment to go down in history!
Method Man does not have to do much for the ladies to salivate. Yep, in his white tee, he creates a moment of his own. I can guarantee that many women would probably adore him best without it on at all. However, keeping his fashion basic is always his style, and he owns it! The reading glasses are just a classic touch to his nature!
Tabitha Brown and the amazing Stephen Satterfield have graced us with their presence! The most important piece in fashion is their smile, and they have it! Tabitha Brown, the most amazing content creator, writer, and food guru, is always the life of the party! Elegantly wearing this off-the-shoulder printed green and white dress gave us all the feels we needed to celebrate Blackness! Alongside Stephen Satterfield, with his amazing eagerness he puts into the food industry, we love this simplistic combo—with a scarf to add a special touch. This is the duo we all did not know we needed!
Victoria Monét can do no wrong. Her stylist, Davonte Washington, just gets it! We are in the season where cowgirls are taking over! This ain't Texas, but it was Louisiana! Victoria wearing these chaps was a twist for a special occasion! The blonde hair is gold with the cropped lace top! Yes, and more yes.

Overall, Essence Fest took fashion drama to the next level! There are so many artists and prominent people to discuss, but I think with just these few you got the point. To the fashion girlies and fashion men—you all have definitely done it again!
