H.E.R. Wears ‘Wet’ Leather Dress With Matching Pumps at ESPYs 2023

H.E.R. attended the 2023 ESPYs held in Los Angeles tonight, taking the “wet” dress trend to the red carpet.

The “Could’ve Been” singer was dressed in a shiny black patent leather bodycon dress featuring an asymmetrical hemline. The garment was sleeveless, ruched along the waist and gathered to one side, creating an illusion of a wet fabric.

The hitmaker rounded out her look with diamond-encrusted jewelry around her neck and on her fingers worn with large gold hoops. The “Best Part” songstress styled her long black tresses parted down the middle and worn in flattering face-framing waves that cascaded down her back and shoulders.

On her feet, the performer stepped into a pair of shiny black leather pointed-toe pumps, a classic shoe silhouette. The neutral footwear was comprised of sharp knife-like pointed toes with a shiny patent leather finish that matched the similar finish of her dress. Thin 3 to 4-inch stiletto heels finished out the set, offering H.E.R. a walkable boost in height.

H.E.R. has a cozy and chic fashion sense that she displays during live performances and red carpet appearances. On the footwear front, the “Feel a Way” hitmaker tends to gravitate towards towering platforms and stylish athletic sneakers.

The Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Awards (ESPYs) are an annual ceremony that recognizes team and individual athletic accomplishments. This year’s event, which will bestow special awards to the U.S. women’s soccer team, Chicago White Sox pitcher Liam Hendriks and the Buffalo Bills training staff, will air on ABC and EPSN3.
