For the gala, the “One Battle After Another” star was dressed in a Zoot suit she designed alongside legendary costume designer Ruth E. Carter. On her feet, Taylor opted for the cult-favorite Kiki Boots by Marc Jacobs.
The multi-color red and black platform shoes featured a chunky heel and straps across the foot. Dainty rose appliqué sat on top two of the straps, likely an ode to the Harlem native’s 2018 song “Rose in Harlem.”
