BGN Presents: 15 Favorite Looks from AFROPUNK 2017

This past weekend was AFROPUNK, a celebration of Black excellence and, more importantly, the weekend where Black people pull all the fashion stunts. I’ve always viewed AFROPUNK looks as a cross between fashion and cosplay, and these festival-goers don’t disappoint. Here are our favorite looks!

1. 1. These ladies are giving us afro-futuristic Powerpuff Girls
   2. Coretta & Cardi B (& some fly red pants)
   3. Former BGN Podcast guest, DeRay, using his body as a canvas
   4. The friends that stunt together, stays together
   5. Feminists with Fros
   6. The dress says: Because I’m already freakin fabulous. We agree
   7. The power is in their hair
   8. Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, aka Miles Morales
   9. Bringing new meaning to “rose gold”
   10. Black Nerds UNITE!
   11. Just picture a indie comic starring these four
   12. Loud, Cute & Black = The Holy Trinity
   13. Camo and Roses? We dig the combo
   14. The devil is in the details
   15. Last but not least: A LOOK
