The New Generation Of Black Style Stars: Solange Knowles, Julia Sarr-Jamois, Tamu McPherson And More! (PHOTOS)

There's a new generation of style stars that have captured our hearts.

Solange Knowles, Karen Blanchard of "Where Did U Get That," and Joshua Kissi and Travis Gumbs from "Street Etiquette" are just a few of the names that have been lighting up our style radar.

From London to New York, these fashion-forward folks offer limitless inspiration on the art of expressing ourselves through clothing.

But don't let the awesome aesthetics fool you, these fashionistas (and fashionistos) are editors, cultural ambassadors and career professionals that prove style and substance are not mutually exclusive.

Take a look at the new class of style stars and let us know who you think makes the grade.
