The Color Purple Cast Dazzle At The Black Excellence Brunch

Fantasia, Taraji P. Henson, and Danielle Brooks are eating up the scene as they slay their way through Hollywood to promote the highly anticipated remake of The Color Purple. Fresh off their individual Elle ‘Women In Hollywood’ covers, the fab fashion trio hit a special screening at the Black Excellence Brunch honoring The Color Purple, where they were guests of honor. The luxurious invite-only event, founded by Trell Thomas aka Trell World, brings together the top industry players to give respective honorees their flowers over fashion, food, and vibes. Guests and celebrity attendees like Da Brat, Judy, and Zerina Akers graced a purple carpet and enjoyed the songs of a live choir for the ultimate Black experience.
