PHOTOS: The Best Looks at the 2023 Broccoli City Festival

Broccoli City put on its annual festival at RFK’s Festival Grounds last weekend. The experience was sometimes anything but perfect: Will-call wait times could exceed two hours, and thunderstorms forced the cancellation of headliners Lil Uzi Vert and Jazmine Sullivan on Saturday.

Still, the Black-owned social enterprise and creative collective brought out big names including Coco Jones, City Girls, Keke Palmer, Brent Faiyaz, and GloRilla across the two days of festivities. And through it all, style prevailed. Guests experimented with everything from hair and facial jewels to metallics to extreme crop tops, a true testament to the diverse style of the District. Check out some of the best looks of the weekend.
