This year, the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” and the dress code “Tailored for You” invited stars to explore tailoring from an intimate, cultural, and deeply personal perspective. A vibrant tribute to elegance, African American heritage, and the power of fashion as a tool for self-expression.
