Last night, awards season continued on with the 52nd annual NAACP Image Awards, which aired live on BET and were hosted by actor Anthony Anderson (for the eighth year in a row). The evening honored the year’s best performances in film, social justice, and television, specifically highlighting performances by people of color. Bridgerton’s Regé-Jean Page, D-Nice, Stacey Abrams, and Issa Rae all picked up trophies last night. On behalf of her late husband, Chadwick Boseman, Simone Ledward Boseman also accepted his posthumous award for outstanding actor in a motion picture, for his role in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.
Despite there being no red carpet for the event last night, stars still brought their fashion A-game for the televised affair. Both nominees and presenters embraced extremely glamorous looks. Below is my list for best dressed.
