Cynthia Erivo embraced saturated primary colors and architectural inspiration for her latest red carpet look. To attend the 2022 BET Awards on Sunday in Los Angeles, the 35-year-old English actress and singer pulled a vibrant outfit off the Louis Vuitton runway, choosing to stand out while celebrating Black excellence and culture.
Erivo — who was styled by Jason Bolden — wore a two-piece Louis Vuitton look featuring a red, yellow and blue cityscape print. The structured envelope-style top featured black trim with a draped modern cowl neck, while the mid-thigh flounce skirt had drooping pockets and layering detail. Erivo accentuated the waist with a black grommet leather belt, which hung down the right side. The multi-hyphenate star, who is set to play Elphaba in the upcoming two-part film adaptation of the Broadway show “Wicked,” wore 6-inch gold metallic platform heels.
