Jordin Sparks brought boardroom bravado to the red carpet—her tailored black suit, corset twist, and chain flourish felt like a nod to pop royalty with a punk edge.
Jordin Sparks knows how to command a room—and on August 23rd at the 7th Annual AAFCA TV Honors in Los Angeles, she did just that, without uttering a word. Her arrival was a masterclass in modern red carpet dressing: sharp, intentional, and laced with just enough rebellion to keep things interesting.
The backdrop—a kaleidoscope of red, yellow, and blue—set the tone for a night celebrating Black excellence in television. But Sparks didn’t compete with the color riot behind her. Instead, she anchored the scene in a sleek black suit that whispered power and poise. The tailoring was crisp, the silhouette strong: high-waisted trousers with a subtle flare, paired with a structured blazer that skimmed her frame like it was custom-cut.
Then came the twist. Peeking out from beneath the jacket was a white corset-style top—boned, cinched, and unapologetically feminine. It softened the suit’s severity without diluting its impact. A silver chain detail looped across her pants, adding a flash of attitude that felt more stage-ready than boardroom. Jewelry was kept in the same metallic lane: silver rings and earrings that caught the light without stealing the show.
So, is this the new blueprint for red carpet power dressing? Or just Jordin Sparks reminding us—again—that she’s always had range?

Meagan Good dialed up the drama in a sheer silver gown—equal parts celestial and sultry—at the 7th Annual AAFCA TV Honors in Los Angeles.
There’s a certain kind of red carpet entrance that doesn’t just turn heads—it recalibrates the entire mood. Meagan Good’s arrival at the 7th Annual AAFCA TV Honors on August 23rd was precisely that: a shimmering, high-slit spectacle that felt like stardust in motion.
Set against a vibrant backdrop splashed with red, yellow, and blue—an abstract canvas celebrating Black television excellence—Good’s look was a study in contrast. Where the setting leaned bold and graphic, her gown whispered elegance with a wink. The sheer silver fabric, flecked with micro-crystals, caught the light like a disco ball in slow motion. It clung and flowed in all the right places, with a daring thigh-high slit that added kinetic energy to every pose.
The silhouette was classic with a twist: a fitted bodice that gave way to a fluid skirt, the kind that moves like water when you walk. There was no visible designer tag, but the craftsmanship spoke volumes—this was couture-level precision, likely custom or archival. The sparkle wasn’t just surface-level; it was embedded in the fabric’s DNA, refracting light with every subtle shift.
And while the AAFCA TV Honors spotlighted the best in television, Meagan Good reminded us that the red carpet remains a battleground for celebrity style supremacy.
With a gleaming award in hand and a satin-blue swirl of elegance, Janine Sherman Barrois brought quiet glamour—and a touch of architectural drama—to the AAFCA red carpet.
At the 7th Annual AAFCA TV Honors in Los Angeles, Janine Sherman Barrois didn’t just accept an award—she embodied the moment. Draped in a sleeveless blue satin dress that shimmered like moonlight on celluloid, Barrois stood poised against a backdrop celebrating Black excellence in television. Her look? A study in balance: fluidity meets form, softness meets strength.
Barrois’s dress was more than eveningwear—it was a silhouette in motion. The high neckline lent a sense of formality, while the asymmetrical hemline added a whisper of rebellion. The satin fabric caught the light with every shift, creating a ripple effect that felt cinematic. It was the kind of dress that doesn’t just photograph well—it lives in motion.
The color—a rich, cool-toned blue—was both classic and unexpected, standing out against the vibrant red, yellow, and blue splashes of the event’s backdrop. The sleeveless cut showcased her arms with elegance, while the asymmetry at the hem gave the look a modern edge. The fabric, likely silk satin or a high-grade synthetic blend, offered both structure and drape—a rare duality that elevated the entire ensemble.
