The pretty, blue numbers one of our favorite Sanaa looks! It’s fun, flirty and full of class – just like the actress herself.

14

18
Sanaa’s Best Red Carpet Moments

At this recent turn on the Red Carpet, Lathan opts for her signature mini and wears it monochromatically (in other words, all black everthing!) All the better for her sequined jacket to shine!

19
Sanaa’s Best Red Carpet Moments

Sanaa beams on the red carpet in this sexy one shoulder number with a cinched waist!

20
Sanaa’s Best Red Carpet Moments

She kept things sexy and simple with tousled hair, an off the shoulder mini (we love the rich purple!) and sleek, stunning pumps.

21
Sanaa’s Best Red Carpet Moments

Even when she gets funky – Sanaa still keeps things streamlined. Case in point: this bold colored mini might have an asymmetrical front, but it’s got a simple hemline.

22
Sanaa’s Best Red Carpet Moments

We love the clean elegance – and flirty decolletage – on this cherry red gown.

23
Sanaa’s Best Red Carpet Moments

Lathan keeps her accessories minimal, but we love how they subtly complement the silver bustier on her column gown.

24
Sanaa’s Best Red Carpet Moments

A bold red lip is Lathan’s constant accessory. We love how she pairs it with this multi-colored dress and red suede pumps!

Sleek and Sexy! ‘Nuf said. But wait – let’s add stunning!

The rich purple of this dress looks regal against Lathan’s skin tone.

29
Sanaa’s Best Red Carpet Moments

Lathan goes funky and downtown in this Dolce & Gabbana look! It’s a departure from her classic red carpet style – but it works!

30
Sanaa’s Best Red Carpet Moments

Hands down, one of our favorite Lathan moments. The bold color and body hugging appeal of this dress make this star shine brighter than ever before.

31
Sanaa’s Best Red Carpet Moments

Leave it to Lathan to make a simple, gray dress one of the sexiest pieces on the red carpet. (Just look at the men in this photo!)
