The much-awaited romantic-comedy movie ‘Think Like a Man Too’ finally hit theaters on Friday. It is the sequel to ‘Think Like a Man’, which opened number one at the U.S. box office in 2012. The follow-up movie, on the contrary, received mostly negative reviews.

On Thursday, prior to the movie’s release date, many celebrities gathered at the SVA Theatre to attend the New York premiere of the film at the 2014 American Black Film Festival. Several of the female attendees wore form-fitting clothes as well as exceptional and exciting footwear! Below are the celebrities who showed up at the event and caught our attention. Let us know who stood out for you.

1. Adrienne Bailon

The Cheetah Girls’ Adrienne Bailon displayed her hourglass figure in a form-fitting and revealing Dion Lee dress. She looked fabulous with a high-bun hairstyle and bronze dewy makeup.

Completing the summer feel of the singer’s look were white Tom Ford pumps featuring double adjustable ankle straps with gold padlock and key charms, pointed toes, and 4 inch heels with golden tips.

2. Coco Austin

Coco Austin, who’s also popular for her curves, showed off her assets in a fitted Chula Bella Boutique dress. Although she didn’t reveal as much skin as Adrienne, her fabulous figure was enough to turn heads. Her dress, which features multiple colors and patterns, perfectly matched her Charlotte Olympia “Dolly” pumps designed with rainbow-colored feathers. She also wore the same shoes to attend a surprise party held at the BurGR restaurant in Planet Hollywood Resort.

5. Emily B

Emily B was joined by her man, Fabolous, on the red carpet. The ‘Love & Hip Hop’ star caught the eyes of many in a fitted white dress that flaunted her curvy derriere as well as her overflowing cleavage. She still looked elegant enough, though, thanks to the long sleeves of her dress. The fashion stylist kept her things in a Givenchy printed clutch, and she finished off her look with sparkling caged sandals by Schutz.

7. Niecy Nash

Niecy Nash, who is best known for her role in Comedy Central’s ‘Reno 911!’, was simple in an androgynous number — a black top with a black blazer and a pair of trousers. She styled with an unusual white harness-like accessory on the bodice. Her black-and-white oxford-inspired Pleaser pumps completed her look. They feature perforated trims, toe caps, lace-up fastening, and cutout details, making them one of a kind.
