Lathan, 52 kept her appearance on the late night talk show very chic, demure and sexy! She wore a zippered embellished knit top with matching skirt and stiletto sandals. The whole look is really cute, simple and simplistic! I would wear this on a radio show interview, a late night talk show, or steamy date night where it shows a lot of skin, yes! See more photos inside, video clip and the designer of her look….
