Tessa Thompson Serves Up Drama in 3D Floral Suit & Chunky Sandals at ‘Creed III’ Screening

Tessa Thompson attended the “Creed III” HBCU fan screening presented by MGM Studios at Regal Atlantic Station yesterday in Atlanta. Thompson went for an all-black ensemble comprised of a sharp menswear-inspired suiting moment with chunky sandals.

Thompson’s look featured an oversized black blazer with a boxy silhouette and a 3D floral appliqué that sat on a singular shoulder. On bottom, the British thespian styled satin trousers with a loose baggy fit that would otherwise look casual saved only for the shiny finish.

Thompson stacked on a myriad of silver and gold rings in varying styles and sizes, worn with gold hoops and studs encrusted with colorful gemstones and pearls. The fashionable figure wore her hair in lengthy braids parted down the middle, cascading down her shoulders.
