Prom and wedding season is creeping up, so we thought we’d conjure the spirit of black Hollywood for inspiration. Taraji, Regina and the other leading ladies on our list wore these designer dresses during this year’s award season. Maybe you don’t have couture-level coins, but you can still slay like a star in any of these gowns, all under $400. The best part? You can order online.
