‘That Dress is Whoa’: LeToya Luckett ‘s Orange Dress Becomes the Main Attraction During Night Out

LeToya Luckett was a vision in orange as she rocked a fashionable form-fitting dress to Club Quarantine Live at Carnegie Hall in New York City. 

Club Quarantine, which began in March 2020, was a virtual event on Instagram where social media users would get together and party. Club Quarantine was created by Derrick Jones, also known as DJ D-Nice.

Following Club Quarantine’s success, Jones ultimately took his act on the road by performing at the Hollywood Bowl last year. On Aug. 4, Jones continued the tradition by bringing his talents, celebrity guests and performers to Carnegie Hall. 

The following day, on Aug. 5, Luckett gave her followers a quick view of what she experienced while watching the show. In the video compilation post, the 41-year-old shared clips of several performers, including Queen Latifah and Ashanti. Throughout the recording, Luckett was also seen posing with her friend and showing off her ensemble. 

In addition to the upload, the “Torn” vocalist wrote as a caption, “CARNEGIE. A TIME WAS HAD!!Last night, history was made & an amazing time was had! Shout out to all the amazing artist who performed!! A BIG CONGRATS @dnice this was truly a unique experience! Keep killing it @terrytrross bro, I love you. You continue to amaze me. Carnegie was a VIBE!!! Much love to my beautiful sis.”

As fans viewed the upload, many raved over how beautiful Luckett looked. Some comments mentioned Luckett’s overall appearance, while one individual talked about her dress. 

“Gorgeous you understood the assignment LeToya.”

 “Ok Sis you definitely Be Killing the Scene Everytime.”

“You never ever miss!! A real life doll!”

“That dress is whoa. So gorgeous stunting on em all eyes on you. Love your smile & your energy.”

“You are such a vibe.”

Among the previous responses, others brought up Luckett’s hair. One wrote, “Love love the hair. Another said, “Now, this hair style is (fire emoji) on you Sister Girllllllllah!”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
