NAACP Image Awards– Who Served Looks?

Last Saturday night marked the 52nd annual NAACP Image Awards, and our favorite celebs did not come to play! Marsai Martin, Tabitha Brown and many more showed up and out at the virtual award ceremony, proving that they can still bring style and black excellence, even while social distancing.

Entertainer Anthony Anderson brought in the Los Angeles-based event joking about how he’s hosted the award show for eight straight years, saying “I’m your host, Anthony Anderson. That’s right, back again for the fifty-eleventh time. Because the double-A in NAACP stands for Anthony Anderson.” 

And while COVID restrictions led to guests video calling instead of being present at the venue, they didn’t let that stop them from dressing up for the special occasion.

Rae’s gorgeous Prada dress was styled by black designer and stylist Jason Rembert, famous for working with celebs like Elaine Welteroth and Kehlani.

Marsai Martin

Young actress Marsai Martin is growing up before our very eyes! Of “Black-ish” fame, Martin is making a big stamp in the entertainment industry by being the youngest executive producer in history. At last night’s ceremony, Martin turned everyone’s head with her sleek black dress, adorned with black feathers running up each sleeve.

Also styled by Rembert, the 16-year-old star wore Christian Siriano and slew every second. Martin took to her Instagram to boast that she now owns 11 NAACP awards after last night’s double win. We can’t wait to see what she does next!

Smollett didn’t disappoint during her appearance at the 52nd NAACP Image Awards. With her hair cut into a sleek, short bob, the “Underground” actress wore a strapless black and emerald green dress with a high slit, showing off her gorgeous legs and strappy pink heels.

Brandee Evans

Speaking of a triumphant year, Brandee Evans blew up virtually overnight with the success of “P-Valley” and her portrayal of Mercedes, a young Mississippi stripper trying to make the best of her life.

Evans channeled her black roots at Saturday night’s award ceremony with her sculpted cornrow hairstyle and her colorful and patterned strapless dress, resembling Kente cloth. Her extravagant and long-flowing gown was custom-made in only three days by black designer Albert Montris.

Performing her smash hit “Pick Up Your Feelings” at the award show, Jazmine Sullivan wore a powder blue shaggy fringe dress with black thigh-high boots to set the look off.
