On the Scene: The Color Purple Broadway Opening Night with Jennifer Hudson and Uzo Aduba in Zac Posen, Laverne Cox in Tom Ford, Patina Miller in Wai Ming, and More!

A slew of black beauties were present at The Color Purple Broadway Opening Night. Strapless, curve-hugging gowns, flirty pink numbers, and modern jumpsuits were all on the menu.

Let’s see what they wore!

Jennifer Hudson went bold in a $2,875 Zac Posen Strapless Pleated Neck Mermaid Gown in a fitting hue that teetered between purple and pink. Hot!

Laverne Cox channeled a modern flapper with a black Tom Ford fringe gown, dark berry lips, and retro waves. Laverne does it all so effortlessly.

Patina Miller was pretty in pink in a Wai Ming jumpsuit in the rosy hue. The fit needed some tailoring here, but her braided updo was divine.

Uzo Aduba also chose pink for the occasion: following J. Hud’s lead in a supremely feminine Zac Posen dress. I can’t wait to see what she wears this awards season!

Danielle Brooks looked ready for Spring in a strapless, floral print Jovani gown. One of her best looks of the year for sure.

Tamron Hall was white hot in a chic dress with a plunging neckline, matching long coat, and gold peep-toe pumps.

Samira Wiley was suited up for the evening in a glossy animal print blazer, matching button-front shirt, and black textured trousers.

Cynthia Erivo gave some edge to her all-white ensemble with black lips.

Selenis Leyva mixed textures with a black velvet blazer, silver metallic glimmering dress, and strappy, peep-toe sandals.

After a showstopping performance on The Wiz Live!, cutie Shanice Williams donned an apropos purple floral dress.

Adrianna Hicks channeled old Hollywood glamour in a black embellished gown with a deep v-neckline, red lips, and a flower in her hair.

Patrice Covington channeled a wintry princess for the evening with a full-skirted gown and embellished headband, though her bodice and its cleverly-placed embellishment were a bit on the sultrier side.
