Angela Bassett put on a glamorous display at the Disney Upfront 2024 showcase event at the Javits Center in New York City on Tuesday.
The 65-year-old actress looked red hot in a daring jacket with a plunging neckline and a pair of matching pants that showed off her figure.
Paired with her chic monochromatic outfit, she wore metallic gold heeled sandals.
For the special occasion, the two-time Golden Globe winner, who appeared to reference her bitter 2023 Oscar loss in March during the season seven premiere of her show 9-1-1, styled her jet-black tresses with soft beachy waves and rocked a pair of oversized silver hoop earrings.
In March, it was revealed that the Black Panther star was one of 14 stars who would be honored at the upcoming Disney Legends Awards ceremony on August 11.

Bassett admitted she was “stunned” when she lost to Everything Everywhere All At Once’s Jamie Lee Curtis.
During her chat with Oprah, she said: ‘I was stunned!
“It was, of course, a supreme disappointment, and disappointment is human, so… yes, I was disappointed and I handled it like a human being.”

During the interview, Oprah said she thought Bassett “handled it very well.”
“I think I handled it very well too,” the actress agreed. “And that was my intention, to handle it very well.”

In the early ’90s, she was nominated for an Oscar for her iconic portrayal of Tina Turner in the biopic What’s Love Got to Do With It?
