Issa Rae attended the Shipt x Issa Rae Anthem campaign event in New York City on Tuesday, opting for a brown-themed color palette. Rae arrived wearing the Khaite Synthetic Fibers dress in beige, which included a ribbed pattern on top and a dramatic fringe skirt. To complete her ensemble, the star wore a pair of strappy gold sandals.
The campaign event marked the second phase of Rae’s mentorship project with Shipt, dedicated to amplifying underrepresented voices in creative industries. The collaboration involved Rae and other industry professionals mentoring four college interns, allowing the students to ideate, film, edit and star in a 30-second advertising spot, which went live on Wednesday.
