Wearing a gown that could only be described as marvelous, Sanaa Lathan showed up to the premiere of her off-Broadway play “By The Way, Meet Vera Stark” and reminded us why she’s a classic Black beauty. Wirh slicked back and decadent, rich red lipstick, Lathan's gown showed off her sexy décolletage and a slight peek of thighs. The black, bejeweled gown’s sweeping train added the finishing touch to her glamorous look.

Concerning her role as Stark, Lathan told Broadway.com, "I love, love, loved the script. I couldn’t believe how funny, how entertaining and how moving it was, and still so relevant today."

“By The Way, Meet Vera Stark” is currently running at New York’s Second Stage Theatre.
