The 55th NAACP Image Awards took place on Saturday, March 16, honoring and celebrating Black excellence in film, TV, music, and literature throughout the past year. Among the notable attendees was the talented actress Kerry Washington, who made a stunning appearance on the red carpet with her unforgettable green gown.
Washington, known for her roles in hit shows like “Scandal” and “UnPrisoned,” graced the event as both a presenter and a nominee. Her eye-catching ensemble featured a plunging neckline and a mesmerizing train that elegantly trailed behind her. The emerald green hue of the gown perfectly complemented her radiant complexion, making her stand out among the crowd.
To accentuate her overall look, Washington adorned her long raven locks in a chic loose bun, allowing her sparkly earrings to shine. With her impeccable fashion sense and effortless beauty, she effortlessly captured the attention of onlookers and photographers alike.
At the NAACP Image Awards, Washington represented her series “UnPrisoned” as a nominee for Outstanding Actress In A Comedy Series, where she portrayed the spirited character of Paige Alexander. Although she faced tough competition in the category, ultimately losing to Quinta Brunson for her work in “Abbott Elementary,” Washington’s nomination was a testament to her remarkable talent and dedication to her craft.
Over the years, Washington has received numerous awards and accolades, including four previous NAACP Image Awards.
She was awarded Outstanding Actress In A Motion Picture for her role in the biopic “Ray” back in 2005, as well as Outstanding Supporting Actress In Motion Picture for her performance in the revisionist Western film “Django Unchained” in 2013. Additionally, she was recognized as Outstanding Actress In A Drama Series for her groundbreaking work in “Scandal,” winning the award in both 2013 and 2014.
Beyond her acting achievements, Washington was also honored with the prestigious NAACP President’s Award in 2013. This distinguished recognition highlights her exceptional public service and outstanding contributions to the entertainment industry.
