If you looked up the phrase, “Black don’t crack,” in the dictionary, you’ll see a series of women who defy the laws of aging. Gabrielle Union, Nicole Murphy, Bianca Lawson, Angela Bassett and of course, Cicely Tyson. The 93-year-old living legend manages to slay every red carpet she encounters. It seems like this year alone, she’s attended just about every event possible. Clearly, Tyson has no plans of slowing down because in less than a month, the actress will be celebrating 94 years of life.
Tyson loves to experiment with hair color, textures and themes. She takes risks and uses each red carpet as an opportunity to create a fashion moment. Beyond her acting career, her wardrobe is legendary. Don’t believe me? Take a gander at our favorite looks from the actress from the past year.
