Some of the biggest award ceremonies of the year have already gone down, including the Grammys and the BRITs. Thankfully, there are still plenty of red carpet looks coming our way with the Oscars quickly approaching and tonight’s SAG Awards. On Saturday (February 25), Hollywood was a busy place as well, thanks to the annual NAACP Image Awards.
Hosted by Queen Latifah, this year’s ceremony paid tribute to some of the greatest Black talents in the industry. Athlete Serena Williams was honoured with the Jackie Robinson Sports Award. Elsewhere, Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union gave a heartfelt speech after receiving the President’s Award. The show itself was undeniably heartwarming, but what really had viewers talking was the red carpet.
Zendaya’s Iconic Red Carpet Return

Each and every attendee stepped out in their best-dressed, but one rose above them all to steal the show – Zendaya. For her first carpet of the season, the Euphoria actress broke necks in her stunning vintage Versace gown. Bright electric green strips of fabric draw in the eye on her chest and throughout the skirt, reminding fans how refined her style truly is.
Of course, she couldn’t spend the evening sporting just one dress. When it was time for her to take the stage inside, Zendaya had changed into another throwback piece – a decades-old Prada look that found her channelling supermodel Yasmeen Ghauri. Both looks, styled by Law Roach, clearly have social media in a chokehold today.
