Queen Latifah attended the 2025 Governors Awards in Hollywood on Sunday, modeling a trendy open-toe footwear look with an elegant red dress from Lanvin.
“The Equalizer” star wore a glossy black sandal, likely a mule heel, with a sharply pointed sole and a simple hourglass-shaped strap across the toes. The look was embellished with a floral adornment on the toe strap. The look otherwise left the foot bare, making for an overall minimalist footwear moment while still picking up her dress, particularly with the floral embellishment aligning with a shiny black floral decoration in one corner of her dress. The garment was otherwise a satiny scarlet red; silhouette-wise, it was a loose, draped dress with long sleeves, a floor-length hem and a V neckline. The multi-hyphenate artist tied the look together with a red lip and long black statement earrings.
