Past and Present: Images of African American Mardi Gras in Lafayette, LA

This queen looks absolutely stunning Love her gown
This is a beautiful train Love the gold and patterned trim Definitely a way to make an entrance
This is one stunning duo being crowned as the King and Queen of the ball
Such a dazzling picture from a past Mardi Gras queen This smile could light up a room
We adore this ensemble and can only imagine the work that went into making this stunning gown
Rain or shine the parade must go on We adore this classic American style float for this parade
