GABOUREY SIDIKE ROCKS IN ANKARA DRESS

Gabourey Sidibe, who stars as Becky in Empire rocks dress made from Ankara material

Actress Gabourey Sidibe rocked a lovely knee-length dress made from Ankara material, the type most Nigerian mothers, especially the Igbo ones, own and sometimes wear for village meetings.

The actress said she wore the dress in celebration of Black history month, though it's March already and Black History month was in February. The dress is by a designer in Sierra Leone and she says her hair is a "mix of an Afro wig I stole from the set of Empire because Alfre Woodard told me to."
