The Root 100 ceremony is right around the corner — Dec. 5, to be exact! The event will honor the most influential Black Americans of 2023. If you’re coming, we know you’ll want to look your best for the evening’s festivities. For inspiration, here’s a little lookbook of the kind of outfits we’d love to see at The Root 100!
We all love a showstopping moment! Why not wear a sequined gown?
Fellas! Don’t pull out that same, tired black suit! Try finding a blinged-out version.
How about showing off those shoulders, ladies?
There’s nothing wrong with a deep-V neckline! We love to see it.
Now this is an excellent way to cover up a little if that’s your style!
Let’s see some color!
Let’s elevate that suit and choose a different fabric. Leather is always a yes!
If you want an all-eyes-on-you moment then a silver gown is the way to go.
Now this is classy and elegant, the two words we would love to use for the evening.
How about a pop of pattern?
You already know we’ll be looking for a little bit of drama!
A champagne-colored coat is a great choice for a night of celebration!
You and your boo can do a little matchy-matchy moment!
Not a super fancy kind of person? Switch it up with an embroidered moment!
Come through power couples with the coordinating fits!
There’s nothing like being the belle of the ball! Don’t be afraid to rock that dress!
