Intricate Details

According to Vogue, Queen Latifah's Thom Browne look featured intricate details, including a black peau de soie gathered coat with raffia and bugle bead fray tipping. The black sequin square-shoulder dress was adorned with bird-of-paradise motifs made from bullion, frayed raffia, and satin stitch chiffon, highlighting the delicate craftsmanship.

Known for their privacy as a couple, Queen Latifah and her partner, Eboni Nichols, keep their personal life largely out of the spotlight. Their commitment to privacy extends to their three-year-old son, Rebel, whom they prefer to keep away from public attention.

Nichols, with a vibrant career of her own, shone in her bespoke Thom Browne look. Her attire included an hourglass all-in-one Chesterfield, sportcoat, and pleated skirt, featuring engineered checks of layered ribbons on various fabrics. Nichols' ensemble, adorned with red rose bullion appliqués, echoed the elegance and sophistication of Queen Latifah's ensemble, further cementing their presence at the prestigious event.
