At 55, Angela Bassett looks better than ever.

The Whitney Houston biopic director posed for VioletGrey.com in a series of smoldering black and white photos wearing a black bustier that showcased her toned body.

Bassett, who’s married to actor Courtney B. Vance, says she thinks deeply about what she’s going to wear.

“Well, it only takes me about 10 minutes!” said the mother of twins. “I start thinking about it in the car on the way home. Do I want to be flirty? Sensual? Powerful? Then I try to dress for that feeling. My husband always says, ‘Lord, you’ve made something out of nothing, how did you do that?’”

And although she’s kept her famous frame toned, she only has two weaknesses: “love … and sugar.”
