Queen Latifah was spotted filming on set for “The Equalizer” in New York yesterday, while filing a scene by the water with her co-star Tory Kittles.
Casual and sleek, the “Last Holiday” star sported a pair of black and white low-top sneakers hailing from Gucci. Retailing for $1,049, the designer silhouette featured leather and fabric uppers in black and contrasting white, accompanied by coordinating black lace-up closures, almond-shaped toes and dynamic wave inserts that act to modernize the style.
Gucci‘s logo can be found emblazoned on the sneaker’s heel and tongue, making the style instantly recognizable. Non-slip rubber outsoles offer a durable utilitarian quality, creating grip and stability no matter the terrain. The designer pick is the perfect mix between style and comfort, marrying the best of both worlds seamlessly.

In true tomboy fashion, the rapper accompanied her Gucci footwear with baggy black cargo pants and a textural button-down. Overtop, Latifah sported a black bomber jacket fixed with zipper closures, ample pocket detailing and unique eagle patches just below the shoulders.
Over the years, Latifah has become known for wearing sleek shoes on the red carpet, ranging from wedges to peep-toe and platform pumps from top brands like Gucci. Strappy stiletto sandals are one of her go-to styles as well, hailing from top brands including Jimmy Choo. When off-duty, she can usually be seen in Nike sneakers, though she’s also worn fashionable pairs by Prada and Lanvin as well.
