Ayesha Curry doesn’t need husband Stephen to shine: she dazzles alone at the Oscars in a slinky black gown

Ayesha Curry wasn’t daunted by the prospect of attending the Oscars without Stephen Curry on her arm and she stunned onlookers with her black gown.

The Vanity Fair Oscars after-party is often the place to be if you want to see NBA stars and their spouses, but Ayesha made sure she was there to enjoy the fun despite Stephen being thousands of miles away.

The Golden State Warriors star is currently on the team’s road trip, so he has a fair excuse for missing the party where many of his peers were spotted walking down the red carpet.

Ayesha opted to wear a sleek black leather dress designed by American fashion icon Prabal Gurung, the elegance of which made her one of the standouts on the night.

She shared her look on Instagram with the caption: “Vanity Fair Oscars Party”.

Despite building a thriving brand across the culinary, publishing, and beauty industries, the entrepreneur still struggles with self-doubt.

Ayesha shows her bravery

In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Ayesha revealed how Steph plays a crucial role in helping her navigate these insecurities.

“I have terrible imposter syndrome, and he is always there to encourage me, remind me, uplift me, and be like, ‘Hey, what do you need today?'” she explained. His constant reassurance has helped her silence the nagging feelings of not being good enough, which can often overshadow even the biggest accomplishments.

It is clear that Ayesha must be making great strides with combatting this issue if she was happy to attend the party without Steph.

Imposter syndrome-a psychological pattern where individuals doubt their achievements and fear being exposed as frauds-affects a vast majority of people. According to the American Psychological Association, around 82% of Americans experience it at some point in their lives. Ayesha is no exception, despite her success in multiple industries.
