When it comes to my list of favorite African-American actresses, Ms. Sanaa Lathan is near the top. The naturally beautiful starlet has been mum about a few of her upcoming projects, while promoting The Best Man Holiday social media with her all-star cast mates, Nia Long, Taye Diggs, Terrence Howard, and others. But fans should keep a look out for buzz surrounding Macbett, which is based off the Shakespeare’s Macbeth, which also co-stars Terrence Howard and Blair Underwood.
When on the red carpet, Sanaa always stuns in a fabulous dress and has been known to pull off a range of styles, flawlessly. For just about every woman, the search for the perfect one never stops, no matter the occasion. So, if you are on the prowl for a new dress or inspiration for a few style ideas, check out my favorite looks from this week’s Star Style, Sanaa Lathan.
Curves are a strapless dress’ best friend. To prevent slippage, be sure your dress fits properly in the bust area and doesn’t gape under the arms.
For girls nights, a dress that is a combination of sexy and sultry will nab more than a few admirers for the evening. Gray or silver are a great way to set the mood for an enchanting evening.
Take on the role of the lady in red, which is a key color for fall, and amp up your look. Opt for pieces that are just as vibrant, like bold gold jewelry or a leopard-print platform shoe.
On days when you need your LBD to pull double duty, go for a texture that will pack enough power for the office, but make you look just as elegant for an evening soiree. Simply tote those special sparkly touches with you and then make a quick change after work.
Wrap dresses are the best creations ever made for camouflaging mid-sections, and we have Diane Von Furstenberg to thank.
Putting on the ritz for a nighttime gala doesn’t have to mean wearing a metallic color or black – white is always perfect for an evening glow. Also, the rules for wearing white after Labor Day are changing (depending on the area of the country you live in); just make sure the texture of the white garment is season appropriate.
A timeless dress that withstands all of those wavering trends is something that should be in every woman’s closet. As a bonus, make sure the dress is one that’s an all-occasion style.
