If you think the weekend's best fashion was at the VMAs (aka Beyoncé's mini concert), think again.
The men and women who flocked to Brooklyn's Afropunk Festival were dressed — and in some cases, painted — to the nines. Like no other music festival, Afropunk is a cavalcade of brightly colored outfits, runway-worthy hair, and celebrities goofing around like mere mortals.
Here are 25 extremely chic photos that give a glimpse of the street style at Afropunk.
