Legs On Show
Letitia was all legs at Outernet London in a form-fitting number that skimmed one palm above the knee. The sleeveless, off-white/light gray dress was covered in sequins for a subtly shimmering look that turned dazzling under the spotlights. Strappy silver heels further highlighted her toned pins, while a mock neckline drew attention to her muscular arms.
The 29-year-old added extra sparkle with a bangle bracelet and a matching ring on her finger. Meanwhile, her trendy buzzcut left her small hoop diamond-encrusted earrings fully on display. See the look straight from her Instagram page below.
