The Best Dressed Black Creatives On Instagram This Week

Our online fashion favorites from 10/14 - 10/20
The Best Dressed Black Creatives On Instagram This Week
By Raquel Iman · Updated October 21, 2025

A month into the fall season, creatives are learning to navigate the fluctuating temperatures with surgical precision, going for bright pops of color in the form of snazzy shoes and accessories when jackets become a necessity on cooler days, and leaning into sleeveless knits and lightweight fabrics when temperatures grow warmer. Dressing fashionably during this unpredictable weather is not for the faint of heart, but creatives this week were up for the challenge.

Leather jackets in the fall? Not exactly groundbreaking, but it’s certainly a seasonal staple. Shae Scott, who has been sporting buttery leathers in moody colorways since late September, stunned the timeline in a gorgeous croc leather jacket and a matching mini skirt. Carol Riley’s (vegan) leather jacket was cut to the knees and trimmed with faux fur. Both girls styled their looks with eye-catching footwear, with Carol opting for black mesh knee-high boots, and Shae selecting ruby red slip-on heels. 

This week, many creatives were busy attending birthdays, brand events, weddings, and dinners –  all events that require a statement dress. Rese celebrated her 29th birthday in a white knit number that was stiffened and twisted at the hems, evoking an ethereal vibe. Eugenia Kelcy went to dinner in a gorgeous black satin halter neck gown that she accented with large gold bangles and a metallic clutch. 

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.
