And we do mean literally! This was a red carpet blinding in its sparkle!
The sparkle wave was in full force at this event — and to dazzling effect. Exhibit A? Angell Conwell .
An Old Hollywood-glam Niecy Nash
.
Anika Noni Rose
.
Essence Atkins.
Holly Robinson Peete.
Roslyn M. Brock
, chair of NAACP, in liquid pewter.
A kicky, sexy turn from Regina King
.
Variations on flame hues also figured prominently: see Demetria McKinney.
A gorgeous take on the peach trend from Julia Pace Mitchell
.
Keshia Knight Pulliam
.
Pure burgundy elegance for the ever-impeccable Viola Davis
. (This is David Meister.)
And yes, white is still making a string showing — although luckily things were rather less creepily bridal than they've been in recent months. Kerry Washington
, for instance, went simple, elegant and flawless in Zac Posen.
Sara Ramirez
.
Miss Black USA Osas Ighodaro goes a little space-age, a lot fab.
Tatyana Ali

On the uber-structured front, we have Amber Riley

Teala Dunn

And Halle Berry
