Sabrina Elba brought chic minimalism to the red carpet for Chanel and Charles Finch’s 2023 pre-Oscars dinner.
While at the occasion in Beverly Hills on Saturday night, Elba arrived with husband Idris Elba in a long brown gown. The philanthropist’s dark chocolate-toned piece included a faintly sheer texture across its long sleeves and floor-length hem, accented with small layered diamond earrings. Idris, meanwhile, was similarly neutrally dressed in a black button-down shirt and trousers, layered with a collared nylon jacket.

When it came to footwear, Elba’s footwear could not be seen beneath her gown’s long hem — though, given her past shoe choices, likely included a heeled sandal or pointed-toe pump silhouette. However, Idris opted to strap into a pair of black Dr. Martens combat boots for the occasion, featuring laced fronts and yellow welt stitching. The style brought his outfit a utilitarian edge, while remaining traditionally formal for the occasion with its rounded silhouette and dark uppers.
