The “Last Holiday” actress stepped on stage in a pair of black ankle-length boots. The boot silhouette was chunky and featured glossy leather uppers with a textural reptilian appearance. Additionally, the style was fitted with thick non-slip tread, offering the performer a cushy feel.

Latifah’s recent footwear choices have been tomboyish in nature, including colorful sneakers and grungy boots. These picks have coincided with her street-style aesthetic, drawing inspiration from hip-hop with colorful graphic hues and oversized silhouettes.

Accompanying her chunky footwear, the “Set It Off” star wore a matching gray set. The two-piece featured a baggy parachute-esque hoodie and matching pleated high-waisted shorts that were belted. On the accessories front, Latifah donned a matching gray baseball cap accompanied by large silver hoops and a few rings.

Over the years, Latifah has become known for wearing sleek shoes on the red carpet, ranging from wedges to peep-toe and platform pumps from top brands like Gucci. Strappy stiletto sandals are one of her go-to styles as well, hailing from top brands including Jimmy Choo. When off-duty, she can usually be seen in Nike sneakers, though she’s also worn fashionable pairs by Prada and Lanvin as well.
