Even in 2004, Cole never failed to look radiant on the red carpet. Here, at the 16th Carousel of Hope reception the singer rocked a glossy burgundy lip and a gorgeous natural glow.

Cole’s big, blonde afro was a total nod to the 70’s at the 13th Annual Race to Erase MS. We loved her long, full lashes and gold eyeshadow.
