Angela Bassett Looks Downright Regal at the 2021 Golden Globes

From Harper's BAZAAR

Angela Bassett has made her Golden Globes entrance.

The actress arrived at the 2021 award ceremony in Beverly Hills looking regal in a purple Dolce & Gabbana gown. The draped, asymmetrical number, sprinkled with beaded embellishments, also featured a feather trim around the shoulder and thigh-high slit. Graziela jewels provided extra shine.

Bassett's beauty look also tied into the violet theme with its matching deep berry eye shadow. Her ultra-long braided ponytail added the perfect final touch.

Bassett, a Globe for Best Actress - Motion Picture – Musical/Comedy in 1994 for What's Love Got to Do with It, is a presenter at this year's ceremony. Over the years the prolific entertainer has continued to build an inspiring career both in front of and behind the camera. (She has directed the TV movie Whitney in 2015 and a few episodes of American Horror Story.) While speaking to BAZAAR.com last year, Bassett shared some wise words for aspiring filmmakers, based on her own experiences in the field.

“Know that your voice is needed and necessary," she said. "And just go in with the most confidence that you can garner. And I think being undergirded with preparation can help that. Find out as much as you can, prepare as much as you may—preparation is key—and go in and just speak your truth in your voice and allow your passion to emanate, to come through. You can’t read their minds, so just assume that you are who they’re waiting for.”

Bassett, who also stars in the TV drama 9-1-1, lended her voice to Disney Pixar's Soul, which is nominated for two awards this year.
