Glam slam! Though there was no formal red carpet at the NAACP Image Awards 2021, the stars still made sure to show off their epic style through the evening. And one scroll through this gallery will establish that they certainly didn’t disappoint.
The Saturday, March 27 event, which was hosted by Black-ish actor Anthony Anderson, aired live on BET and honored people of color throughout movie, TV, music, social justice and literature.
A fast look at the attendees and nominees for the day’s show place our trendy senses into overdrive. A handful of Us Weekly’s finest dressed winners from previous 2021 awards shows were in attendance, such Andra Day, Regina King and Angela Bassett.
And Us can confirm that these ladies upped the ante in the fashion section! From Day’s Zebra-print Dundas dress to Bassett’s Wonder Woman-esque Graham Cruz amount, the style was topnotch.
Some of their best looks from the night didn’t even receive an official photo shoot with a slick background to boot. In average 2021 awards season fashion, backyards, living rooms and cabinets were the setting for show-stopping gowns and designer frocks.
Viola Davis threw some serenity signs in her home to show her off”happy dress,” which was a Duo Olowu peplum style dress. Yara Shahidi also took a trip to the backyard to provide Instagram a glimpse of her uber-chic Dior silk pajamas. And don’t even get us started on her own skin!
One of our favorite looks of the day though simply made an announcement on point. Jazmine Sullivan, who performed at the case, stunned at a grim feathery number. She paired the retro-style getup using a diamond choker and floral necklace.
