Oscar-Winning Style: Angela Bassett’s Best Red Carpet Looks

Shining like the superstar that she is.

There’s something otherworldly about this look. She’s a mystical force that can’t logically be explained or quantified.

In this suit she’s the devil who comes to you with a deal you know you should turn down. But you just can’t say no to her.

She played Marie LaVeau in “American Horror Story.” This is definitely a return to her powerful witch era.

The way she always knows how to work the cameras is hypnotizing. It’s like she’s daring you to look away. Don’t even try...it’s a lost cause.

We knew right at this moment that our queen was not messing around.

The way this white amplifies her natural beauty is angelic.

She’s in her old-school Hollywood glamour vibe.

The off-the-shoulder yellow screams brunch in Palm Springs.

For the record, this is when I knew this slideshow would be happening no matter what.

As gorgeous as she is in gowns, Bassett brought fire and flair to all these pantsuits.

This is a Hollywood pin-up moment.

In full Naomi Campbell “supermodel of the world” mode.

The legend just stepped on the carpet and decided to casually destroy us all with this one.

Mark this down as “Only Angela Bassett could be a total badass in this pattern.”

No flaws detected. Pure perfection.

“Oh, this old thing? It’s just something I found in the back of the closet.”

Bassett and Vance have been adorable at all these events. The way he has lifted her up and supported her through it all is beautiful.

There’s just something special about how she makes every single one of these looks her own.

This hat is everything.

Totally auditioning for her next role as an assassin who kills you with how drop-dead gorgeous she is.

When you always know exactly where the camera is.

She absolutely saved the best for last. Bow down to your queen.

When you’re letting them know they chose incorrectly.
