Jada Pinkett Smith showcased an eye-catching look alongside the Smith family at the Los Angeles premiere of “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” on Thursday.

The actress hit the red carpet in a sheer statement dress featuring billowy sleeves and a flowing skirt from Iris Van Herpen’s fall 2017 collection. Letting her glamorous floor-length gown stand out, she styled it with simple stiletto sandals.

She wore a glossy black patent leather pair boasting a single slender toe strap and ankle strap fastening. The pencil-thin heel appeared to measure around 4 inches tall.
