Laverne Cox is here to teach us all a lesson in keeping face masks fierce as she rocked a space-age face shield design – and of course themed her outfit to match.
Spotted outside the annual Day of Indulgence party in Brentwood, California on Sunday, the Orange is the New Black star was happy to pose for photographers and show off her avant-garde look to full effect.
Wearing an iridescent face shield, which covered most of her face, from forehead to chin, the mask was able to act as both polarised sunglasses and mask for the actress.
Continuing the theme from her head to her toes, Laverne looked stunning in a black catsuit with attached full-length gloves (also helpful in a global pandemic).
The outfit featured a plunging neckline with twist halter neck detail and a wide peplum belt.
Giving us shades of Catwoman, the star completed her look with a pair of Balenciaga Speed Light sock trainers.

As the 49-year-old had fun striking poses, she also showed off her black and white Fendi tote bag with laser-cut detailing.
Laverne was joined at the star-studded women-only bash by the likes of Jennifer Lopez and her daughter Emme, Christina Hendricks and Olivia Rodrigo.
Now in its 23rd year, the Day of Indulgence is hosted by Hollywood producer Jennifer Klein for the industry’s top A-list females, offering pampering, relaxation and a whole lot of free designer swag.
Reported offerings for 2021 included pop-up boutiques both indoors and outdoors, spa treatments and food and drinks.

This year, guests were seen departing with large Samsonite suitcases filled with their freebies.
Laverne has recently set her sights on appearing in a superhero movie, as she revealed in July that it was ‘something I am manifesting’.
Speaking to the PA news agency, the Promising Young Woman actress explained: ‘That is a dream, and that is something I am manifesting.
‘And so if it is for me, it will be and if it’s not then yeah … but we’ll see.’
The star has also opened up this year about her mystery boyfriend, 22 years her junior, calling it ‘a miracle’ that she’d found love again.

Chatting on The View in February, Laverne continued: The age difference has not been an issue. It’s just really hard to find someone that you really connect with.

‘It’s hard to find love. I’m a 48-year-old Black trans woman who’s kind of famous and I feel like it’s a miracle that I found love again.
‘I’m just celebrating that and super excited that God has brought this man into my life.’
