Angela Bassett has once again proven that she’s a natural beauty as she showed off her makeup-free face during her vacations in Italy.
The 64-year-old two-time Oscar nominee appeared to defy age as she sported a white and brown animal print summer dress to go shopping and sightseeing in Portofino, Italy.
Completing her looks, the Black Panther star also donned a small black handbag, a gold bracelet, and a pair of golden sandals matching the rest of her outfit.
The sighting comes just days after it was confirmed that Bassett would be receiving an honorary Academy Award for her role as Queen Ramonda in Wakanda Forever at the 14th Governors Awards later this year.
The happy news comes months after the ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’ star was nominated for an Oscar.
“This morning is a little extra special in the Bassett-Vance household with news of my Oscar nomination. What has drawn me to each of the women I’ve portrayed throughout my career is their strength, compassion, resilience and power,” she said at the time.
“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’s Queen Ramonda is a character that touched my spirit because she is a mother and a leader who must care for her grieving nation as much as she cares for her family in mourning.
“Ramonda is a love letter that reflects and acknowledges what we women do every day.”
Days before she lost the Oscar to Jamie Lee Curtis of Everything Everywhere All at Once, Bassett added: “Queen Ramonda, for me, is just, at its core, a representation of the strong women that I’ve had in my life who’ve raised me, of the strong women I see, my love for them, my appreciation of them.”
