The Best Dressed Black Creatives On Instagram This Week

Our online fashion favorites from 4/27 - 5/5
The Best Dressed Black Creatives On Instagram This Week
By Mecca Pryor · Updated May 5, 2025

Tonight marks fashion’s biggest event — the Met Gala. While not every beloved fashion influencer will grace the industry’s most iconic red carpet, they continue to deliver style excellence every day. Their presence reminds us that fashion isn’t just about the spotlight — it’s about the stories and creativity that the spotlight helps bring to life.

Vogue’s newly appointed Market Director, Naomi Elizée, is certain to make an appearance on tonight’s Met Gala red carpet, bringing her signature elegance and style to fashion’s most anticipated night. Beyond the glamour of the event, Elizée is celebrated for her effortless, refined everyday looks. As we head into the summer season, she continues to embrace a minimalist approach to footwear — favoring ballet flats, thong heels, and other understated staples that marry comfort with chic sophistication. 

Long shorts have officially taken over the wardrobes of fashion’s it-girls — from denim and cotton to camo and pinstripes, this versatile silhouette is being styled with everything from kitten heels and boots to sneakers and slides. Perfect for any occasion, they offer both edge and ease. Model Emily Marte is no stranger to the trend, seamlessly incorporating long shorts into her everyday looks with effortless flair.

Let’s be honest; Instagram can be the best place to find your next outfit. There is nothing wrong with grabbing a little inspiration from the Internet, and these creatives brought the best style this week.
