00:00Hi, this is Gabby from Gabby Fresh, here on the red carpet at the Essence Street Style Awards.
00:08Brought to you by Chevrolet.
00:13Tonight is so special because they're honoring such great icons in fashion,
00:18and we're really celebrating street style, which is really where it all begins.
00:23What's your favorite thing about street style?
00:26Just a sense of expression. I mean, there are no rules in the street.
00:29How did you feel when you saw your Chevy chic reveal today?
00:32I was just in shock and awe.
00:34What type of woman do you see driving the Chevy Cruze?
00:36Kind of a get it done, you know, sophisticated, all about work and lifestyle and having it all together.
00:42What makes tonight so special?
00:44It's pretty amazing to be honored for this award on a special day like this and from a magazine that I grew up reading.
00:53Welcome to our first annual street style award.
00:59It's the only way to really kick off Fashion Week.
01:02It's special because it's us. It's a celebration of us and the style that is so true and unique to us.
01:08The icons that we're honoring tonight, you know, we watch them, the readers watch them, and they are truly to be celebrated.
01:16They're not trend followers, they're trendsetters. And so, yeah, we're here to say so.
01:21We are here tonight to honor our closet crush, Tracy Ellis Ross.
01:26Our designer to watch, Azed Jean-Pierre.
01:31Our style disruptor, June Ambrose.
01:35A true curator of cool, we have fashion blogger and photographer, Tamu McPherson.
01:42We also want to acknowledge the winner of our Street Style Maven Award, Janelle Lloyd.
01:46I just want to say thank you to Essence, to Chevy, for supporting fashion bloggers.
01:51Oh, my gosh. Well, it's exciting to come out and just celebrate these awesome style icons and Essence is doing this.
01:59It's the first awards dinner, which I think is really exciting.
02:01We're celebrating fashionable women, and I think New York is such a great style city that you can do anything.
02:06I think the women that are being honored here tonight all have such a great, unique sense of style.
02:10That wraps it up here. We saw some amazing fashion today.
02:16Thanks for joining us at the Essence Street Style Awards.
