Kerry Washington

I enjoy this on her -- she looks like she's at a HUGELY fancy luau.

Cynthia Erivo in D&G

Damn you, D&G, you nailed it. Other than being a tad too long, this is a superb change of pace for her.

Zoe Saldana in Maison Margiela 2015

It's archival, and it's a break from sleek Saint Laurent, both of which are fun. But look how puckered it is. I can't help feeling like it wasn't thoughtfully preserved, or something. It's flat.

However, the photographer knew we'd want to see the camel-hoof pumps. Which, judging by the one in the back, are at least one size too big.

Keke Palmer in Versace

Keke won Entertainer of the Year, and she WORKED for that. Her Hello Fresh ads alone! But seriously: While I'm surprised she won a big award and chose something so relatively simple, it looks fantastic on her.

Gabrielle Union

Glorious. Wow.

Taraji P. Henson

She won for being in Fight Night and for writing a children's book. And she should soon win an endorsement from a boob tape company.

Shanola Hampton

YES. Just... yes, with my whole soul.

Danielle Deadwyler in Carolina Herrera

This is like an '80s party dress all grown up, and for once that's a compliment. She looks wonderful.

Chloe Bailey in Gaurav Gupta

This is incredible and sculptural and striking from the front -- she looks like a sexy angel at their year-end awards (she's up for Best Salvation).

From the side, it just looks inconvenient, and like she's having second thoughts.

Halle Bailey

Well, they finished the bodice, anyway.

Janelle James

Purple is perfect on her. It MIGHT be a little big?

Jurnee Smollett

I assume the nerves in her breasts are dead at this point.

Ego Nwodim

This might also be a hair tight? And... denim?

Kingsley Ben-Adir

The cut seems a little off, but the color is a hit.

Jabari Banks

I assume one of his suitcases didn't show up.

John David Washington

This is sleek.

Erica Campbell

It's giving Yvette, from before the evening at Hill House took a murderous turn.

Essence Atkins

Seams are the enemy of satin. This would look less janky in any other fabric.

Samara Joy

This is also way overworked.

Aldis and Edwin Hodge

I appreciate that the brothers aren't twinning, although they MAY have gotten a two-for-one deal on the shirt.

Laverne Cox in Mugler

This gown style is not remotely my cup of tea and I don't think it fits, BUT considering the social and political circumstances in which she's wearing it... brava.

Sarah Jeffrey

Sexy! The ten-mile ponytail might be stepping on it a little.

Jimmy Akingbola

Excellent.

KJ Smith

"Bedsheets and a neck loop are all you need!"

Yvette Nicole Brown

Is this Rorschach? I see an owl.

Naturi Naughton

She had a WONDERFUL royal wedding.

Madison Rian

She preferred eloping on a yacht in Capri.

Tichina Arnold

Excellent fabric.

Lela Rochon

People still really want their lower bodies to experience varying degrees of sheers.

Tamron Hall

This is sexy and dramatic. I'm feeling Velma Kelly.

Diarra Kilpatrick

And that's also tremendous. On balance this slideshow is more fabs than fugs.

Doug Emhoff and Kamala Harris

Sigh. Sniffle. Double sigh. Live your best life, Kamala. Thank you for trying.

Pepi Sonuga

Apparently her crotch produces its own Ace bandages.

Ebony Obsidian

I believe she won for her supporting work in The Six Triple Eight, which also won Best Picture. And she might be wearing my favorite dress in the slideshow. It's just divine.

Shanice Williams, Moriah Brown, Kylie Jefferson, Pepi Sonuga, Kerry Washington, Nicole Avant, Ebony Obsidian, Sarah Jeffery, Milauna Jackson

Here's the whole crew. LOOK AT ALL THOSE WOMEN CELEBRATING A BEST PICTURE WIN. What a dream.

The NAACP Image Awards Involved TWO Big Events

And frankly, some excellent outfits.
