  • Fantasia Barrino scored her first Golden Globe nomination for "The Color Purple."
  • Barrino, 39, is competing for best performance by a female actor in a motion picture.

Fantasia Barrino has solidified herself as a fashion icon.

Barrino, 39, dressed to impress in recent months while promoting "The Color Purple," a star-studded film adaptation of the Broadway musical directed by Blitz Bazawule and produced by industry giants like Oprah Winfrey.

The film, which hit theatres on November 20, has already received acclaim and helped Barrino snag her first Golden Globe nomination for best performance by a female actor in a motion picture.

"The first thing I do in the morning is call my husband — I remember picking up the phone, and he was screaming," Barrino told Deadline in December. "That's when he told me I had been nominated for a Golden Globe, and I started crying. This has been a long time coming for me."

Amid the fanfare, fans online have praised Barrino for her stylish fashion moments during the film's press tour.

Take a look at 10 of her best red carpet looks.
