I love the NAACP Image Awards. The show which celebrates the artistic, cultural and political attributes of African-Americans aired over the weekend. It’s always a joy to watch the unpredictable antics of celebrities at other award shows, but as a young black woman on the climb, this one feels like home. It’s rare to see people of color on the silver screen, so it’s great to see talent of all shades being honored. The NAACP Image Awards is the homecoming bash for Black Hollywood. So who wore what to the ball?
Funny lady, Taraji P. Henson has gone through a style rut as of late. With this look she got back to her fashionably hit status. This silver gown is perfect for the star’s curvy figure. Her softly coiffed hair and make-up were a flawless pairing as well.
I still have chills from Amber Riley’s Whitney Houston tribute on Glee, and in this deep blue sequined gown she just gave me a full on fever. There isn’t a thing about this look I would change. I love that she knows how to choose great dresses to suit her body type.
Viola Davis‘ boobage was on full display! Clearly she’s determined to avoid the strict matronly box that Hollywood wants to place her in. I love the detail on the upper part of the dress. My only gripe is the makeup. I need her makeup artist to get her foundation shade right. Come on, Viola!
My favorite set of sisters showed up on the red carpet looking absolutely ravishing. The contrasting looks complimented each of their bubbly personalities. I am dying for Tia’s green one-shouldered gown and that thigh-high split. Tamera looks gorgeous in her muted silver gown.
Does Vanessa Williams ever age? That’s a serious question. Her body looks great in this gold and black wrap gown. The colors are a great match with her olive skin tone.
Just like SJP will forever be Carrie Bradshaw, Tracee Ellis Ross will never not be Joan. She showed up to the award show in a black and gray poof gown. The look fits her quirky style. The pop of pink on the lip pulls it all together. I wish she had chosen a more elegant hairstyle, but I’ll take what I can get.
Keke Palmer showed up in a sweet hot pink look. The star’s makeup is gorgeous per usual. The purple lipstick is a risk that paid off.
Sanaa Lathan walked the red carpet with Anthony Mackie. The actress looked great in a bold orange column gown. As much as I love Sanaa and her innocent style, I want her to wear something more risqué. Just once!
