Nicole Ari Parker made a vibrant arrival to the 2023 HollyRod DesignCare Gala on Saturday in Los Angeles, in a Tarik Ediz Mara Terracotta dress.
The gown featured a strapless corset with internal boning and oversize floral appliqués throughout. The actress paired her outfit with matching sleeves which had slightly sheer detail.
Parker attended the soiree with her husband Boris Kodjoe and 16-year-old son Nicolas, who coordinated with her look in classic suits. Kodjoe and Parker, who have been married since 2005, were the recipients of the Muhammad Ali Trailblazer award, an honor for humanitarianism.
