Leave it to Sarah Jakes Roberts to remind us that bold faith and bold fashion can absolutely coexist — and that metallic gold deserves a permanent spot in your style rotation.

In her latest look, the pastor and author turned heads (and timelines) in a strapless sculpted gold dress, complete with oversized rose appliqués stitched across the bodice like wearable art. It was giving elegance, edge, and everything in between — the kind of look that doesn’t whisper confidence. It announces it.

Her hair? Long, soft curls cascading under full fringe bangs. The shoes? Pointed gold heels with just enough sheen to match the dress without trying too hard. Add a glassy manicure and subtle glam makeup, and you’ve got a look that lives somewhere between red carpet preacher chic and Afrofuturist glam — and somehow, it works perfectly.

This isn’t just a dress. It’s a message. One about stepping fully into who you are — loud, layered, and unapologetically luminous.

We’re not saying it’s time to switch out all your neutrals… but if metallic rose gold isn’t at least moodboard-adjacent after this, what are we even doing?
