Once you see how many people wore a shade of purple to ‘The Color Purple’ world premiere on Wednesday (December 6) in LA, you will be less surprised that leading lady Fantasia Barrino opted to swerve the colour.

Andra Day is having a moment with embellished looks this week, as she rocked a Rahul Mishra Fall 2023 Couture purple petal bustier paired with sequin leggings.

You may remember that Selena Gomez wore the top half of this look for the Inaugural Rare Impact Fund Benefit.

With this version of the bustier, the leggings were a must.

No wonder Tyler Perry is wearing shades, because he opted for the brightest shade of purple on this purple carpet wearing Tom Ford.

Alicia Keys floated onto this purple carpet like a cloud wearing an Iris Van Herpen Spring 2023 Haute Couture gown.

This Gaurav Gupta Couture gown is what Angela Bassett should have worn to the Academy Museum Gala. 

No. I’ll take that back, because this gown was worn for the right event.

Gaurav Gupta’s sculptural elegance is unmatched.

When H.E.R. doesn’t wear her signature shades, I’m going to refer to her by her government name, Gabriella Wilson, because H.E.R. and Gabriella are two completely different people style-wise.

Gabriella served up classic romanticism with this Pamella Roland purple ombre silk chiffon gown from the Resort 2024 collection.

I adore the delicate femininity of the piece which she styled with a pair of purple Le Silla sandals and Sheryl Jones jewels

The one person who I did expect to wear a purple dress to this premiere was Oprah.

What a beautiful full circle moment this must be for her.

Dressed in Dolce & Gabbana once again, I’m glad that the neckline is open on this silk jersey gown, as the high neck didn’t work on the previous gown.

Matching Dolce & Gabbana accessories including lace heels and a crystal box clutch completed her look, along with Anabela Chan diamond earrings, a Kallati amethyst ring, and a Shy Creation diamond ring.

Is anyone else wishing that Oprah’s gown was the same shade of purple as the sketch?
