Janelle Monáe put a chic twist on red carpet glamour at the 2022 LACMA Art + Film Gala held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art tonight.
The eight-time Grammy Award-winning singer appeared on the blue carpet in a sparkling sequin gown. The floor-length garment had a knit, sweater-like material on one side that included feathery details on the cuffs. While the other side had circle cutouts on the sleeve and a slightly ruffled hemline.

To further elevate the moment, Monáe accessorized with a silver leaf headband, layered pearl necklace, and a satin rectangular clutch. For glam, the “Hidden Figures” star went with shimmer eyeshadow and a bold red lip.
Completing Monáe’s look was a set of silver metallic sandals. The silhouette had a wide strap across the toe and sat atop a thin stiletto heel.

Strappy sandals are taking center stage right now as one of the popular shoe styles. The heels have made many celebrities ditch comfort for their counterpart. With signature interlaced straps varying from barely-there to maximalist-like styles, lace-up sandals are evidently the tried-and-true shoe of the season.
