Queen Latifah brought pure elegance to the red carpet for Variety‘s Power of Women: New York event on Thursday night.
The “Hustle” star, who is one of the evening’s honorees, posed in a sweeping black gown for the occasion. The piece featured a an off-the-shoulder silhouette with an allover flounced texture and a floor-length hem. The actress’ look was paired with a coordinating sparkling black clutch featuring a prominent crystal buckle. Completing her outfit were layered strands of diamonds and matching drop earrings.
Though her footwear wasn’t visible, it’s likely Queen Latifah’s shoes of choice were heeled mules, sandals or pumps — a top formal choice for the event. Regardless of her footwear choice, the star was all smiles while posing on the red carpet with friends Lorraine Toussaint and Katie Couric.
