When it comes to aging gracefully, few stars are pulling it off quite as well as Angela Bassett.
On hand to celebrate Pixar’s latest award-nominated movie “Soul” as well as present an award, the 62-year-old hit the red carpet for the 78th annual Golden Globes on Sunday night, and fans online couldn’t get enough of her breathtaking style.
Dressed in a feathered purple Dolce & Gabbana gown and Graziela jewels, the “Black Panther” actress wowed the red carpet and set Twitter ablaze with her Old Hollywood-inspired look.
“Angela Bassett is grace on the Golden Globes red carpet,” one Twitter user wrote.

While most reactions to Basset’s choice of red carpet attire were overwhelmingly positive, several Twitter users called out her decision to show support for fashion house Dolce & Gabbana by wearing one of their designs.

In November 2018, the Italian label came under fire for perpetuating racist stereotypes with the release of an advertisement where a Chinese woman struggles to eat spaghetti and pizza with a pair of chopsticks.
Though the brand subsequently apologized for the ad, they struggled to revamp their image after being pulled from several luxury Chinese e-commerce sites amid consumer boycotts.
