Denzel Washington and Wife Pauletta's Red Carpet Style [Photos]
Denzel Washington and his wife Pauletta Washington have been married since 1983 and have appeared on numerous red carpets together. When it comes to fashion, the couple couldn’t be more different. While the “Malcolm X” star tends to keep things simple, favoring classic suits paired with dress shoes or sleek sneakers, Pauletta gravitates toward more eye-catching, fashion-forward looks.
Throughout her famous husband’s decades-long career, she has embraced vibrant colors, loud prints, and striking silhouettes that make you do a double-take. The Washington family matriarch is also a fan of platform styles, often adorned with embellishments. Here, check out the couple’s red carpet style from the early aughts on.
