Fashion Scene: Fences NYC Movie Premiere

ArianneUpdated on December 20, 2016December 20, 2016Leave a Comment

The ladies of the upcoming film, Fences, along with other notable fashionistas brought it last night at the latest stop of the movie’s press tour. In the words of Kanye West it was nothing but Flashing Lights as the starlets graced the red carpet at the Fences NYC Movie Premiere. We got the full style breakdown for you as well as a few deets on the film itself.

Fashion Scene: Fences NYC Movie Premiere

Fences is directed by Denzel Washington who also stars in the movie alongside actress, Viola Davis. Washington and Davis who is set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame January 5th were actually reunited by the movie in a way. Both Davis and Washington starred together in the Pulitzer Prize winning play. Therefore, the reprising of their roles for the film just made sense.

Like the play the movie Fences is receiving much accolades from critics. Fences was nominated for 2 Golden Globes, 4 NAACP Image Awards, 3 Screen Actors Guild Awards and a whopping 6 Critics Choice Awards. Viola recently picked up the Critic’s Choice Award for Fences in the category of Best Supporting Actress. Go Viola!

So then, if you were on the fence (sorry we couldn’t resist) about seeing Fences, you shouldn’t be at all. It’s a great movie with a slew of amazing actors and actresses in it. The film hits theaters on Christmas Day.

Fences NYC Movie Premiere

Now for some fashion! Viola looked fab in the Leonella gown by Cinq a’ Sept. She completed her look with a Tyler Ellis clutch, Stuart Weitzman heels and jewels from Hueb as well as Pasquale Bruni.

Cutie pie Saniyya Sidney stole the red carpet in an adorable pink design by Isabella Couture. Such a tiny princess and it’s always nice to see little girls look like little girls. Moreover, Sidney’s magnetic smile got even bigger when she got to pose for a pic with R&B singer, Usher.

Gymnast Gabby Douglas was also in attendance at the NYC screening held at Fredrick P. Rose Hall at Lincoln Center. Gabby loved the movie and describes it as “powerful.” Douglas’ tailored jacket slayed and we love that she highlighted her insane physique. With all those years of training she deserves to show it off!

Last night the Golden Globes was chalk full of wonderful surprises from the red carpet to the star-studded after parties. We have to tip our Louboutins to the fabulous Taraji P. Henson who took home some much earned hardware for her performance as Cookie on Fox network’s hit show Empire. Henson won for Best Actress in a Television Drama yet before her name was even called out she had already won us over in the style department!

Taraji P. Henson along with the rest of Tinseltown’s hottest starlets put it down upon arriving in Beverly Hills for all the festivities. Numerous fashion trends were spotted including bold tints, sequins, cut-outs, capes and metallics. Length also played a key role in the fashion drama as most ladies chose to adorn themselves in floor-length gowns.

Let us not forget accessories because thou-eth would be a sin and no ensemble is truly complete without them. Many actresses opted for a clutch in order to tote their valuables and bling was absolutely everywhere. Diamonds and Swarovski found its way on our favorite stars in the form of earrings, rings, bracelets, heels and handbags. Lovely Gabrielle Union even wore a jewel encrusted headband with her monochromatic design.
