In the racially segregated Detroit of the 1960s, three young women - Diana Ross, Florence Ballard, and Mary Wilson - found their escape from adversity in the harmonious world of music. Fueled by raw talent, ambition, and unwavering friendship, they formed The Primettes, which would later become The Supremes. With Berry Gordy's Motown Records as their launchpad, they embarked on a journey to stardom that would forever change the face of American music. As they rocketed to fame with hits like "Baby Love," "Stop! In the Name of Love," and "You Can't Hurry Love," Diana, Florence, and Mary became symbols of black excellence in a time of social upheaval. The film delves deep into their personal lives, revealing the sacrifices they made for their careers, the pressures that strained their sisterly bond, and the challenges of navigating the racially charged music industry. "Elegance in Harmony" captures the electrifying energy of The Supremes' live performances and showcases the trio's dazzling fashion and unmistakable style, which made them fashion icons of their era. At the heart of the film is the unbreakable friendship and sisterhood that sustained them through triumphs and tribulations.
