Quinta Brunson made a dazzling arrival to Wednesday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in a plunging black minidress by Herve Leger.
Brunson’s gown included intense ruching around her padded balloon-like sleeves and a cinched body-con silhouette skirt.
To create her looks, Brunson usually works with Bryon Javar, who also styles Karrueche and Marsai Martin.
When it came to hair, the “Abbott Elementary” creator and star wore Bantu knots, a new style for her that features sections of mini, twisted buns.
