10 Red Carpet Looks From the NAACP Image Awards That Won't Soon Be Forgotten
On Saturday, some of today's most prolific names in music, film, television, and sports met up in Pasadena, California, to celebrate the 54th NAACP Image Awards. And naturally, they didn't show up in just anything. Dressed by the most sought-after stylists and brands in the business—from Law Roach to Jason Bolden, Prada to Versace—the attendees at the 2023 NAACP Image Awards knew exactly what they were doing when they stepped onto the event's golden carpet, embedding their outfits in our minds forever.
Between Zendaya wearing not just vintage Versace from the Italian brand's S/S 02 couture collection but also a custom-made Prada set that was inspired by one from its S/S 93 collection, Tracee Ellis Ross donning a dress snatched right off of Brandon Maxwell's NYFW runway, and Gabrielle Union showing up in Gianni Versace's Circus gown from his 1989 couture collection, it's clear that no fashion stone was left unturned by the end of this particular award show.
