This year, we caught women including Jennifer Hudson and Venus Williams (who rocked new hairstyles), Queen Latifah, Nia Long, KeKe Palmer, the cast of ‘Girlfriends’ (Jill Marie Jones, Persia White, Tracee Ellis Ross, Golden Brooks), Golden Brooks and a few other familiar faces lending their star power to the event.
