Tessa Thompson's Best Looks From For Colored Girls to Sorry to Bother You
Photo: Getty Images
Sorry To Bother You star Tessa Thompson has been turning heads on the carpet lately. It helps to have Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald knocking her wardrobe out of the park with an eclectic roster of silhouettes. The actress isn’t new to the step-and-repeat after starring in a dozen critically acclaimed films including Creed and Dear White People, but she’s moved away from the safe, casual looks and made room for a plethora of sumptuous, androgynous, and flirty designs.
A fiercely on-trend Ellery orange suit, an ethereal, shimmery Rosie Assoulin pleated gown, and a Christian Dior ensemble every nerdy-chic grad student dreams of are only a few of Thompson’s most fashionable hits since she’s risen to fame.
Scroll through to see Thompson in Marc Jacobs, Schiaparelli, Galvan London, and more throughout the years.
