The Best Red Carpet Looks From 2020 NAACP Image Awards

Published: February 23, 2020 Last Updated 1 week ago by FPN SEO

If there’s any piece of clothing that is blowing up like wildfire right now, it has to be the one and only off-the-shoulder dress. In fact, in every version – from tops, dresses to jumpsuits, the shoulder baring silhouette has proven it true value. While the trend continue to enjoy its moments, we feel that they’re few things you should know before wearing it.

#1. From the name alone, even without being told, the number is all about showing off a bare shoulder while your skin is taking centre stage. In this case, ensure your skin is glowing enough to take the risk but if you don’t feel comfortable showing it off , layer it under a jacket or blazer.

#2. There are lots of versions out there. Some are demure for the cool-girls while some are sexiest barely-there for Rihanna kind of girl. Should you want to wear the Rihanna kind of version, for support and in order to avoid any wardrobe malfunction, we advice you wear a backless and strapless bra like the one below.

As an annual event known for celebrating people of color who make a significant impact in the US film, television, music and literature industry, last night was another great opportunity for the black folks to hit the red carpet in their beautiful ensembles for the 2020 NAACP Image Awards.

As usual, our beloved Janelle Monáe was there in her glamorous self, sporting a midriff-baring blacktop and color block skirt. Others who attended the event include actress Cynthia Erivo who dialed her own glamour in her signature short ‘do teamed with a strapless gown and drop earrings. The actress looked beautiful as usual, adding a touch of red lip to raise her beauty stake.

We’ve also got Tracee Ellis Ross, Jill Scott, Yara Shahidi and a bunch of others on the list and it takes just a few seconds to scroll through the gallery to see what everyone wore.

#3. With anything shoulder baring, your skin is the major accessory. So, there’s no need adding a necklace to your neck – just allow your skin/shoulders take all the attention.
