There’s a lot going on in the world at the moment with the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, the resurgence of the MeToo movement, and the overall push for equality and justice in America. After the protests, after the signing of petitions, and after the calls to our representatives, how do we empower the communities who have been oppressed? We can start with an appreciation for the beauty within these communities that have been constantly oppressed; in other words, let’s see some black girl magic. Here are 30 outfits that black girls slayed (and that you can recreate yourself)!
Willow Smith– Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s fireball daughter, releasing her early hit “Whip My Hair” when she was only ten years old! In addition to her unbelievable talent at such a young age, she’s constantly being featured in fashion magazines for her iconic style. Although many of her looks are “out there” and perhaps not realistic for everyone’s every day life, the time she rocked a red jumpsuit and femme t-shirt is definitely something we can recreate.

Channel your inner Bad Girl Rhi Rhi and your IDGAF attitude with this look that is sure to turn heads. Pair a sexy silk slip with a pair of ankle strap heels, an oversized faux fur coat, and that’s right, a baseball cap. A baseball cap tones down the glamour of your fit and throws it off with a tomboy spin, but in a hot AF way that says “I can do whatever I want.”
