Angela Bassett Rocks Sexy, Figure-Flaunting Velvet Gown at 2024 Golden Globes

A year after winning Best Supporting Actress Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Angela Bassett returned to the Golden Globes red carpet in style.

More of a presenter than a nominee at this year’s show, the 65-year-old actress was a vision in velvet in a breathtaking off-the-shoulder Dolce & Gabbana gown.

To add a pop of color to the Jennifer Austin-styled look, Bassett accessorized the black mermaid dress with a sparkling white clutch and red Lagos tassel earrings — which matched her pink lips perfectly.

In 2023, during her acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actress, Bassett looked back fondly on that year.

“Jan. 22, 1994, I stood on this stage and accepted the Golden Globe What does love have to do with it. The late Toni Morrison said: ‘Your life is already a miracle of chance just waiting for you to decide its fate.’ For destiny to manifest itself, I think it takes courage to believe, it takes patience and it takes a true sense of self. By the grace of God I stand here. I stand here grateful to the Hollywood Foreign Press for giving me this honor Wakanda forever.”
