Karrueche Tran Serves Drama in Strappy Black Satin Pumps and Brandon Blackwood Dress at FN Achievement Awards 2023

Karrueche Tran hit the red carpet at the 2023 FN Achievement Awards on Wednesday in New York City wearing head-to-toe Brandon Blackwood, whom she presented with the Launch of the Year award this evening.

The “Bel-Air” actress, who posed alongside the breakout designer, donned a chic black corseted gown featuring a sultry off-the-shoulder design with long sleeves and a dramatic satin train that trailed behind her.

Tran wore semi-sheer black stockings and on foot, a pair of strappy black pumps boasting a timeless pointy-toe design and an ankle strap fastening. She accessorized the sleek look with chunky gold ear cuffs, an assortment of rings and a mini metallic box bag.

As for Blackwood, who launched his hit eponymous brand in 2015, he wore a sheer black long-sleeve top with high-waisted pants and black boots featuring a square toe. The New York-based designer also carried a boxy top handle bag.

Over the years, Tran has proven her love of bold fashion time and again. She often steps out in flamboyant, show-stopping looks and when it comes to shoes, she’s a fan of styles that range from timeless to head-turning. Similar to tonight’s event, she donned a saucy black dress and ankle-strap platform pumps to the GQ Men of the Year Awards earlier this month.

For 37 years, the annual FN Achievement Awards — often called the “Shoe Oscars” — have celebrated the style stars, best brand stories, ardent philanthropists, emerging talents and industry veterans. The 2023 event is supported by sponsors Authentic Brands Group, Birdies, Caleres, Crocs, FDRA, Nordstrom, Saucony and Vibram.
