The Essence GU Disruptor’s Summit returned to Atlanta for its fifth annual celebration, and Atlanta aimed to claim the title of Best Dressed Summit event. Black creatives from all over the world came to the South with one mission in mind: to showcase that Atlanta has something to say when it comes to fashion. These black creatives exemplified how to match individuality with fashion, with not a single outfit replica in sight.
Between the attendees and special guests, the office siren look was on point, incorporating stylish hats and colorful jackets, two-piece outfits, along with a cutesy boot, heel, or sneaker as their go-to looks. Attendees showcased the definition of being a disruptor as they transformed their corporate two-piece sets, dresses, jumpsuits, and classic comfy streetwear into a brand-new office siren look.
The GU team made sure to show extra love to those who put effort into their outfits, treating attendees like A-list celebrities. With on-site photographers catching looks from every angle, attendees were able to capture the perfect picture and video clip to make their fit Instagram-worthy.
As the year comes to a close, check out these creatives as they have made fashion their second home while representing the fifth celebration of The Essence GU Disruptor’s Summit. These influencers are sure to inspire you for your next debut at an event. There’s nothing wrong with a little muse.
