Sabrina Elba stepped out in dynamic attire for the 2022 British Fashion Awards.

Arriving at Royal Albert Hall for the occasion, the model posed in a vintage Christian Dior hooded dress, originally designed by John Galliano. Her black and red ensemble, styled by Shaquille Ross-Williams, featured a black midi-length sleeveless construction covered in strips of black and red striped feathers. A dark red shaggy hood finished the piece. Complementing Elba’s attire was a gold and diamond bangle, as well as a dark red velvet clutch covered in shiny black beaded crystals.

When it came to footwear, Elba strapped into a slick set of heeled sandals. The Christian Louboutin collaborator’s black velvet pair included thin soles and ankle straps, as well as closed counters. Giving the soft pair a sharp finish were thin heels totaling 3 to 4 inches in height, providing Elba with a sharp height boost while walking the carpet.
