On Tuesday, December 5 at the iconic Apollo Theater, The Root 100 ceremony took place! The iconic building was packed with beautiful and smart people. The night’s festivities included a red carpet, awards given to the most influential Black Americans of the year, and performances by esteemed musicians. We wish we could’ve given awards for fashion because our favorite Black celebrities dressed their absolute best! Here are the looks that graced the red carpet! Enjoy!
