Queen Latifah attended Day Two of the U.S. Open 2023, held yesterday in New York. The rapper watched the first-round match between Venus Williams and Greet Minnen.
Sat in the stands, the “Last Holiday” star laced up a pair of Adidas x Wales Bonner knitted low-top sneakers. Paired with chunky white ankle socks, the low-top sneakers included the brand’s iconic three-stripe detailing in a contrasting mustard yellow on the sides set against the bright green mixed mesh and suede uppers.
Additionally, the athletic-looking footwear featured Adidas and Wales Bonner co-branding in white on the tongue, coordinating white stitching, chocolate brown leather accents and matching brown lace-up closures. The low-top style sat atop flexible gum rubber outsoles fitted with non-slip tread.
Dressed vibrantly, the “Set It Off” star donned an oversized Woodstock graphic tee with Jimi Hendrix’s face on the front featuring shades of orange, pink and light blue. The tee was tucked into a high-waisted bright orange cargo skirt in a maxi style featuring ample pockets that ran down the facade. The skirt also included a drawstring waist and silver hardware.
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 2023 event will be held through Sept. 10, with a range of parties held throughout from brands including Stella McCartney, Amex and Dobel Tequila.
