Before we officially move on from awards season, we need to take a moment and celebrate how Angela Bassett absolutely killed every single red carpet she stepped on over the last few months. Beginning with the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever premiere and ending with The Oscars, she destroyed us with every outfit. So relax and refresh your memory with Angela Bassett’s best awards season red carpet looks.
We knew right at this moment that our queen was not messing around.
The way this white amplifies her natural beauty is angelic.
She’s in her old-school Hollywood glamour vibe.
The off-the-shoulder yellow screams brunch in Palm Springs.
For the record, this is when I knew this slideshow would be happening no matter what.
As gorgeous as she is in gowns, Bassett brought fire and flair to all these pantsuits.
This is a Hollywood pin-up moment.
In full Naomi Campbell “supermodel of the world” mode.
The legend just stepped on the carpet and decided to casually destroy us all with this one.
Mark this down as “only Angela Bassett could be a total badass in this pattern.”
No flaws detected. Pure perfection.
“Oh, this old thing? It’s just something I found in the back of the closet.”
Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance have been adorable at all these events. The way he has lifted her up and supported her through all this is beautiful.
There’s just something special about how she makes every single one of these looks her own.
This hat is everything.
Totally auditioning for her next role as an assassin who kills you with how drop-dead gorgeous she is.
When you always know exactly where the camera is.
She absolutely saved the best for last. Bow down to your queen.
When you’re letting them know they chose wrong.
