'EBONY' Hosts An 'IT GIRL' Brunch In Honor of Pam Grier

What happens when you invite a group of “IT GIRLS” together in one place? EBONY Magazine found out on Tuesday, April 23, when several of our favorite Black Hollywood starlets convened on the patio at the A.O.C. Wine Bar in Los Angeles. Women we love came together for an “IT GIRL” brunch, a swanky celebration in partnership with Prime Video to honor Pam Grier and her role in “Them: The Scare.” The Prime Video series will return with another installment featuring Ms. Grier on April 25.

EBONY invites “IT GIRLS” to honor the OG “IT GIRL,” Pam Grier.

Event recap photos show that the brunch was an inspiring, uplifting, and fashionable affair with several girlies in the California hotspot to toast Ms. Grier, a cultural icon and the original “IT GIRL.” As you can imagine, beauty looks were on glam, attitudes oozed “I am that girl,” and outfits were 10s across the board.

Rocking a blue and white pinstriped blouse and wide-leg jeans, the “America’s Next Top Model” star posed with Pam Grier and gave the girlies a casual slay. Ms. Grier wore printed bell-bottom pants, a black blouse, and a cowboy hat. Meagan Good and Paige Hurd also dropped recap posts on Instagram following the brunch. Wearing ensembles from House of CB and Michael Costello, the beautiful besties looked gorgeous. We love to see it when the girlies link up – and serve a look while doing it.
