She carried a futuristic Nathalie Trad geometric silver clutch with green detailing to complement the look and painted her nails in a similar jade hue. Her makeup was flawless, featuring silvery eye shadow, bold black eyeliner, and a sultry dark red lipstick. Cox completed her sophisticated appearance by pulling her wavy locks into a low, effortlessly chic side bun.

We adore this look on Laverne. White is undoubtedly one of the many colors she can master, and she showcased it flawlessly during her debut on the Golden Globe Awards red carpet.
