Laverne Cox joined celebs like Nina Dobrev, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Tiffany Haddish, and Sarah Jessica Parker were all in attendance looking their best at the New York City Ballet Fashion Gala last night. 

Cox stepped out in a dramatic ensemble that commanded attention on the red carpet. The centerpiece of her outfit was a pair of voluminous sleeves that billowed out from her shoulders, creating a larger-than-life silhouette.

The sleeves were crafted from a luxurious fabric that shimmered under the lights, adding a touch of glamour to her look. The dress itself was constructed with an architectured silhouette, featuring sharp angles and clean lines. She used a thin belt to cinch her waist while the skirt flared out dramatically, creating a sense of movement and fluidity.

To complete her ensemble, Cox accessorized with a pair of sleek black sheer gloves, adding an edgy touch to her overall look. The gloves coordinated perfectly with her footwear.

On her feet, she selected pointy boots. The boots featured a rich, black leather that hugged her ankles snugly, accentuating the delicate curvature of her feet. The pointed toes lent an air of sophistication, elongating her legs and adding a touch of boldness to her ensemble. 

Pointy boots can be a bold and daring addition to an outfit, adding an edge and a sense of uniqueness that other types of footwear may lack. Pointy boots can be especially striking when paired with outfits that are otherwise quite simple or plain, as they draw the eye and add a touch of drama.

The “Orange is the New Black” alum often gravitates towards the pointy silhouette. In most instances, her style philosophy appears to prioritize the prominence of the outfit while maintaining a sleek and timeless aesthetic in her footwear choices.
