When it comes to her red carpet style, Bassett tells PEOPLE that it’s all about feeling good in what she’s wearing. “I’m looking for something that I feel, of course, gorgeous in, beautiful in, myself in, confident, a little sex appeal, sprinkle that in there too,” she says. “Nothing too restrictive or tight because it’s already a tight night. It’s tense, it has its tension. It’s just such a beautiful mix of tension and then relaxing. So yeah, I’m looking to be comfortably myself, but gorgeous.”
In fact, Bassett admits that thered carpet is actually where she feels the most beautiful. She told PEOPLE at the Costume Designers Guild Awards last month, “You and your team just have put together a lot of effort, a lot of thought, into where you’re going and what the event is. And that’s what you want: to feel your most best, because all eyes are on you.”
