So, when the couple arrived on the Kennedy Center red carpet, heads turned, and cameras flashed. Ashanti wore what is becoming her signature look of knee-high leather boots and long, dramatic fur from N.Y. celebrity favorite Daniel’s Leather. Underneath the fur was a gorgeous black dress from Balenciaga. Ashanti complimented her cold-weather couture with a sleek ponytail, bold red lipstick, and chunky diamond jewelry. Nelly matched Ashanti in a black-and-white look. He paired a white button-down with a black velvet vest and sequin pattern pants. The “Country Grammer” rapper topped off his ensemble with oversized clear lenses with silver rims.

Nelly and Ashanti posed with other Black Hollywood stars in town to celebrate Kevin Hart.
