Angela Bassett Shines in Exquisite Crystal and Pearl Adorned Ensemble at the Critics Choice Awards
Angela
Bassett exudes red-carpet sophistication at the Critics’ Choice Awards!
The
seasoned actress, aged 65, radiated grace as she graced the event in a sleek
black gown adorned with dazzling embellishments, where she took the stage to
present the best supporting actor award on Sunday.
Bassett
opted for a Pre-Fall 2023 black crepe gown featuring a plunging neckline
beautifully embroidered with crystals and pearls, courtesy of Pamella Roland.
Her hair was elegantly styled in loose waves.
The recent
Oscar honoree maintained the glimmering theme with an embellished bracelet from
Suzanne Kalan Fine Jewelry and a stunning pair of black and white diamond drop
earrings by Jewels Aficionado.
Bassett,
the epitome of movie-star glamour, presented Robert Downey Jr. with the award
for his supporting film role in Oppenheimer during the ceremony. He triumphed
over strong contenders such as Robert De Niro, Ryan Gosling, Sterling K. Brown,
Charles Melton, and Mark Ruffalo.
Just last
week, the acclaimed actress received her own accolade at the 14th Governors
Awards, where she graciously accepted an Honorary Oscar for her outstanding
contributions to film.
For this
special occasion, Bassett donned a radiant ensemble, opting for a semi-sheer
gold embellished fishtail gown designed by Dolce & Gabbana, complemented by
Christian Louboutin heels. Her accessories included a pair of white gold
diamond drop earrings and a white gold Aura diamond ring from Gismondi 1754
Jewelry.
In stark
contrast to the gown she wore to receive her Oscar, Bassett's look at the
Governors Awards showcased her versatility and impeccable fashion sense.
During her
acceptance speech, Bassett lauded the "trailblazing" Black actresses
who paved the way before her, and those who stand beside her today, including
Viola Davis, Regina King, Jennifer Hudson, and Octavia Spencer. She emphasized
the ongoing work needed to promote diversity within the film industry.
"I
proudly share this honor with women who stand up when they are told to stand
back, who speak up when they are silenced, who remain determined when they’re
told they’re defeated," she expressed. "These women represent those
that I’ve had the honor to portray, as well as the everyday women who surround
us and inspire us to keep striving."
