Angela Bassett and Courtney B Vance’s Family Date Night Before Big Move

Angela Bassett took a break from filming “9-1-1” season eight on Thursday, August 15 to join her husband Courtney B. Vance and their 18-year-old twins at the opening of the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. The evening featured an incredible performance by Bruno Mars.

Angela wore a stunning co-ord set by British designer Nadine Merabi, featuring a sparkly black blouse and pants. She kept her beauty look natural. Angela arrived two hours after her husband and children, with Courtney, Bronwyn, and Slater having posed for family pictures earlier in the evening.

The night was particularly significant as the twins are soon heading off to college, marking a new chapter in the family’s life. Bronwyn and Slater turned 18 in January, and the family has been busy touring 26 colleges to help find the perfect match.

“And so they’re ready. It’s another transition. We went down the baby aisle, now we’ve got to go down the empty nest aisle and get used to them not being here,” Courtney told People earlier in 2024.

Angela expressed her pride in her children, stating she is “just proud of the young adults that they are becoming, the friendships that they make, the maturity that they exhibit,” and describing them as “a beautiful combination of both of us, of all that we have poured into them.”

Bronwyn looked effortlessly cool in a baby blue crop top with knitted detailing and pale blue denim jeans. Slater opted for loose denim jeans paired with a vintage tee that referenced Muhammed Ali’s 1960s Olympics Gold medal win.

The night also saw appearances from other celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Meghan Trainor, Sophia Bush, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes, and Derek Hough, who all walked the red carpet at the new venue in Inglewood, Los Angeles.

Intuit Dome, the new home of the Los Angeles Clippers, had its opening night event begin with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. This was followed by an epic concert by Bruno Mars, who was joined by Lady Gaga to debut their new song “Die With a Smile” during the encore.
