Queen Latifah was spotted filming on set for “The Equalizer” in New York yesterday, while filing a scene by the water with her co-star Tory Kittles.
Casual and sleek, the “Last Holiday” star sported a pair of black and white low-top sneakers hailing from Gucci. Retailing for $1,049, the designer silhouette featured leather and fabric uppers in black and contrasting white, accompanied by coordinating black lace-up closures, almond-shaped toes and dynamic wave inserts that act to modernize the style.
Gucci’s logo can be found emblazoned on the sneaker’s heel and tongue, making the style instantly recognizable. Non-slip rubber outsoles offer a durable utilitarian quality, creating grip and stability no matter the terrain. The designer pick is the perfect mix between style and comfort, marrying the best of both worlds seamlessly.
In true tomboy fashion, the rapper accompanied her Gucci footwear with baggy black cargo pants and a textural button-down. Overtop, Latifah sported a black bomber jacket fixed with zipper closures, ample pocket detailing and unique eagle patches just below the shoulders.
Over the years, Latifah has become known for wearing sleek shoes on the red carpet, ranging from wedges to peep-toe and platform pumps from top brands like Gucci. Strappy stiletto sandals are one of her go-to styles as well, hailing from top brands including Jimmy Choo. When off-duty, she can usually be seen in Nike sneakers, though she’s also worn fashionable pairs by Prada and Lanvin as well.
“The Equalizer” is a 2021 drama television show based on the 1985 television show of the same name by Michael Sloan and Richard Lindheim. It also follows the success of the recent “The Equalizer” film franchise led by Denzel Washington, who stars as Robert McCall. The TV series is currently on its fifth season and features a star-studded cast of talents including Liza Lapira, Laya DeLeon Hayes, Tory Kittles and Latifah, among others. The show follows Robyn McCall, an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background who uses her extensive skills to help those with nowhere else to turn.
