Latifah's red carpet look featured a billowing long-sleeve jacket from Kerner's fall 2026 ready-to-wear collection over a sleek black dress.
The ensemble had a bubbled texture with massive sleeve cuffs and a dramatic collar, cinched at the waist to maintain a defined silhouette.
The 56-year-old artist styled her hair in a high braided bun and accessorized with gold dangling earrings, pinky rings, a smoky eye, and red lipstick.
