Queen of Class: Queen Latifah works Sophisticated Evening LBD
Glamour comes in all shapes and sizes, as beautiful American star Queen Latifah proved recently. These days we're more likely to see her perching on the sofa as the face of The Queen Latifah Show, but the singer and actress still has time to show off her super style on stage. She was snapped looking gorgeous in a figure-hugging gown that flattered her fabulous curves. A well-fitted evening dress is a secret weapon that every woman should have in her wardrobe, so channel Queen Latifah's elegant style with our pick of the products to help you get this fierce look.
Ebony elegance The main focus of Queen Latifah's outfit is that sultry little black dress, and her glamorous look proves that you can nail sophisticated evening wear without revealing too much. Black is a universally slimming shade and helps to hide any unwanted lumps and bumps, and the smooth fabric on her lovely dress adds to this stomach skimming effect. For your own figure-flattering show-stopper, browse our collection of plus size dresses. We particularly love this fitted dress, as the sweetheart neckline and tailored style flatter curves, while the polka dot design adds a fun personal twist. Both Queen Latifah's dress and this design finish at the slimmest point of the leg to make you look taller and slimmer. This classy number suits curvy ladies who want to show off their figures in something daring but sophisticated. While Queen Latifah wore hers on stage, you can take this dress from the office to an evening out.
Perfect peep toes Less can be more when it comes to looking fabulous as Queen Latifah proves, accessorizing her dress with a simple yet elegant pair of black satin peep toed heels. If you'd like your shoes to be as glamorous as your gown, opt for these leather-look peep toe wedges. The wedge is much easier to walk on than a stiletto heel and still gives you all the leg-lengthening benefits, so you don't have to resort to wearing flats. If you'd prefer not to have your toes on show when the weather cools, these suede heels with metal detailing might be more your style. The metal tip on these black stilettos creates the illusion of an open toe so that yours can stay warm inside!
Jazzy jewels The easiest way to spice up an all-black outfit is with some suitably fabulous jewelry. Picking out some amazing accessories allows you to wear your favorite party frock multiple times in different ways so you can get the most from your clothes. Queen Latifah wore a large statement ring and earrings with her subtle black look to add a little sparkle. Jazz up your own dress with these bejewelled gold crystal earrings for an equally classy take on statement bling.
