Angela Bassett arrived on the red carpet for the 2023 Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Thursday, taking an ethereal approach to power dressing.
In honor of this year’s film festival, the Golden Globe-winning actress wore a cropped cream wrap jacket with tassel detail and matching flare trousers. She coordinated the look with bronze peep-toe platform heels. She accessorized with a ring and earrings.
For makeup, Bassett went for an elevated look, featuring blush, a honey brown lip, eye-popping mascara and smoky eye shadow. For hair, she went for statement curls.
