Jamie Foxx and Daughters Shine at St Tropez Gala After Heartfelt BET Awards Speech
Jamie Foxx and Family Sizzle on the Red Carpet
The picturesque town of St Tropez was abuzz with glamour and glitz as Hollywood A-lister Jamie Foxx, 57, attended The Summer Gala alongside his stunning daughters Corinne and Anelise. The dashing actor cut a dapper figure in an all-white suit and shirt combo, pairing it perfectly with white trainers and a silver chain that sparkled under the Mediterranean sun.
Corinne, 31, stole the spotlight in a daring black cut-out dress that showcased her toned physique. She added inches to her frame by slipping into towering nude suede stilettos and accessorized with a satin box bag, completing her look with poise and confidence.
Meanwhile, Anelise, 16, opted for a more relaxed vibe, stepping out in an oversized black satin shirt paired with matching trousers. The teen finished off her unique ensemble with a pair of chunky boots and added a touch of elegance with a simple necklace.
The family outing comes hot on the heels of Jamie's emotional acceptance speech at the BET Awards last month, where he broke down in tears as he accepted the Ultimate Icon Award. Presented by music legend Stevie Wonder, 75, Jamie's heartfelt speech left the audience in awe.
'Man, we used to take this saying for granted — that God is good,' Jamie began, echoing his sentiments from the red carpet of St Tropez. 'God is good,' he repeated, prompting a chorus of agreement from the crowd, who responded with an enthusiastic 'All the time.'
Jamie continued, 'I gotta be honest, when I saw the in memoriam...that could have been me.' The poignant moment brought back memories of his life-threatening brain bleed and stroke, which left him fighting for his life. In a remarkable display of resilience, Jamie explained how he spoke to God during his darkest hour.
'I told him, I said, "Man, bro, just give me one more crack at this and I promise"...I said, "Whatever reason you put this on me, I promise Imma do right."' His words sent shivers down the spines of those watching as he confessed to having a deep conversation with his higher power.
Jamie also took a moment to express gratitude towards the Black community for standing by him during his darkest moments. 'When we get on, we forget where we come from,' he said, emphasizing the importance of staying true to one's roots. He even broke out into song, channeling his inner Ray Charles as he sang a few lines from 'I Got A Woman.'
The Oscar-winning actor also used the platform to thank his team for their unwavering support and acknowledged his family for being there every step of the way. With tears streaming down his face, Jamie said, 'My beautiful daughter Corrine, I cannot say enough about you...you've always taken the backseat to everything, but when you needed to drive it, you drove.'
Anelise, affectionately known as 'my baby with the big hair' by her dad, also received special mention. The teen's guitar skills and love for music had a profound impact on Jamie's recovery, who revealed that God was indeed present in that instrument.
As Jamie Foxx and his daughters made their way down the red carpet, they were met with adoration from fans and photographers alike. It was clear that this family's bond was unbreakable, and their love for each other shone brighter than any spotlight on that balmy evening in St Tropez.

In a remarkable display of gratitude, Jamie went on to express his appreciation for the Black community's unwavering support during his darkest hours. 'God is good, and all the time,' he concluded, echoing the call-and-response from earlier that left everyone in awe.
