Vivica A. Fox's Best-Dressed Moments In Her 50s Were So Stunning

If you're making a list of older celebs who aren't afraid to make noise with their style, multi-hyphenate Vivica A. Fox should definitely make the cut. In her early 60s as of this writing, she's known to regularly reach for va-va-voom outfits in bold colors and spirited prints — whether working the red carpet in a mint green sequin-covered pantsuit or an embellished tweed dress. And she seems to be all for a statement accessory. 

We can't forget about the work, either. Fox has credits going back to the mid-80s, having worked as a dancer and acting in beloved cultural behemoths including "Kill Bill," "Independence Day," and "Soul Food." As she settles into a new decade of life, style, and career, it seems only right that we revisit the greatest fashion hits and best-dressed moments of Fox's 50s. Hang it up? No way. She's too busy trying it on.

Vivica A. Fox was white hot when she popped out for the The Vision Community Foundation's gala in Atlanta in September 2021. The "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" star donned a knee-length wrap dress with a plunging neckline and pearl embellishments on the shoulders and along the sleeves. Fox kept the whole look chic and sophisticated with matching white accessories including a funky wide-brimmed hat, belt, and pointy-toe pumps. We love that her magenta lip was the only subtle pop of color.

Vivica A. Fox channeled the vibes of Egyptian royalty with the dress she wore in February 2020 to The Elton John AIDS Foundation's Academy Awards viewing party, meant to celebrate the 92nd annual ceremony. The gorgeous black gown, adorned with a lengthy cape, was equal parts sexy and elegant with the delicate sheer fabric embroidered in multicolored intricate trails of stitching. Her smoky eye makeup, slicked back updo, and simple strappy black sandals were the perfect understated touches.

While out and about in New York City in July 2022, photogs caught Vivica A. Fox waving to the cameras while rocking a bright tea-length dress in lemon yellow and a super high ponytail. Whether headed to brunch with your best girlfriends or to an afternoon exhibition opening, this look fits the bill. And the white pointy-toe pumps and matching belt hit the right notes. Fox clearly knows that a waist-cinching belt is one of those simple fashion accessories that will still make a statement.

Born in '64, Vivica A. Fox was a teenager during the disco era, and so we can't be too surprised that when she hit the pink carpet for a special screening of "Black-ish" — on which she guest starred in an episode — she brought the spirit of the '70s. For the June 2022 event, Fox glittered like a funkadelic disco ball in a mint green, sequin-covered blazer and bell-bottom pants. She wore a bubblegum pink top underneath for an extra dose of playfulness.

When she attended a gala for Sheen Magazine back in April 2017 in Atlanta, Vivica A. Fox proved that a simple black dress doesn't have to be boring. She expertly captured the idea of quiet luxury by donning a floor-grazing gown in a classic and clean silhouette. But Fox dialed up the volume just so with the plunging neckline and ornate jewel-clustered necklace detail. We especially love her soft glam makeup and intricate, sky-high updo that really brought home the elegance.

The old money aesthetic is the classic fashion trend getting a modern comeback, and Vivica A. Fox was ahead of the curve with the look she chose in April 2024 for the New York City screening of "Not Another Church Movie." Fox went for a white tweed blazer dress embellished with little jeweled brooches, but she rocked the look in her signature Vivica way by complementing the dress with a fun glitter clutch, big hair, and funky jewelry.

In April 2016, Vivica A. Fox was on the peplum top trend right along with the rest of us. Fox rocked the sleeveless top with a pair of matching flare trousers — cut to a pristine length — to the CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Awards in Las Vegas, where she was one of the recipients. The dusty blue-gray color felt classic with a twist and the understated print felt expensive yet whimsical, like you might also find it in a luxury fashion house's wallpaper collection. 

Vivica A. Fox is never one to shy away from bold colors or to tone down her style. She proved that with the shamrock green three-piece suit she chose for the 23rd annual Elle Women in Hollywood Awards in October 2016, held in Los Angeles. The outfit was tailored yet felt easy and relaxed, and also feminine and powerful. We especially love the simple makeup and jewelry, and the curly afro was a nice reminder that Fox is one of the celebrities who look just as gorgeous with their natural hair.

Vivica A. Fox would've definitely been the it-girl of the roaring '20s with the gown she wore in December 2022 for The Gatsby Show Foundation's runway show and awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. The event was meant to honor fashion icon Beverly Johnson, among other industry contributors. Fox hosted the event wearing a truly gorgeous low-cut silver gown, covered in art deco-inspired designs and waterfalls of fringe. Her red lip color and glamorous eye makeup only added to the intrigue.
