Jurnee Smollett arrived at the “The 1619 Project” Los Angeles premiere on Thursday in a monochromatic look.
She wore a sweater with a mock neckline under a bustier top, and a black miniskirt with dramatic pleating. She paired the look with thigh-high black boots by Le Silla.
Smollett opted for a classic makeup look with a matte-red lip and a touch of blush. She wore her hair parted down the middle, with loose curls down to her waist.
