Crazy in LOVE?? It appears that Queen Latifah just MIGHT BE!
Queen Latifah and Eboni Nichols held hands while arriving at the 2023 amfAR Gala in France on Thursday, which was hosted by Latifah, 53, and raises funds for the American Foundation for AIDS Research.
The Girls Trip star was seen smiling alongside Nichols, a dancer and choreographer, on the red carpet at the event whilst wearing a sleek white tuxedo gown, with a matching white shirt and tie, and embellished drop earrings.
Latifah later made a dramatic outfit change for her presenting duties, swapping into an elegant black strapless Carolina Herrera gown.
Nichols also looked glamorous in a strapless red gown featuring black and red feathers and a high front slit, teamed with black platform-heel sandals.
Last year, the star spoke about her experience finding self-acceptance in her acceptance speech at the inaugural The Grio Awards in Beverly Hills.
“My parents raised me with the idea that Black is beautiful. Black is beautiful, Black is beautiful. Black is OK,” Latifah told the audience at the time.
“I didn’t know I was a girl, initially, I had to be told that, that had to be explained to me….’Cause I was running around with my T-shirt off like the boys and I wanted to play sports,” she continued.
“And so my whole life would feel like I’ve been trying to maintain my freedom to be me.”
“Today, I wear these beautiful gowns and dresses because I want to, because that’s part of me,” she added. “I play in the dirt, I play basketball with the boys — ’cause that’s me. I love who I love because that’s me. I know me. I know what I’ve done and what I haven’t done.
“I realize that life is fleeting, and you just gotta do the best you can. Be as honest and genuine as you can. Don’t go for what people are trying to tell you about yourself. It’s not true.”
LIVE YOUR LIFE while you can! BE TRUE TO YOU….
