Color on the Red Carpet

Black celebs turned the red carpet out in bold colored gowns over the weekend at the NACCP Image Awards in Los Angeles. 

I'm a big, big fan of color. Nothing makes our skin glow more than color in our wardrobe. The bolder, the brighter, the better. So I was too happy to see that most actresses played color up big this year, especially at a red carpet event where you usually see a sea of nothing but black.

And in the middle of winter? Apparently, they got the color memo! And they worked it, in brilliant shades of orange, candy-colored pink and deep blue. Take a look at a few of my fave looks, as featured on Essence.com.

What do you think of these colors?

I almost didn't recognize actress Keke Palmer. She looks smashing -- and all grown up  -- in this hot pink gown with a sweetheart neckline and a flowing train by Naven. Very classy.



Actress Viola Davis glows in this tangerine halter gown by LeRoux. Davis takes the sexy up a notch, with the orange complimenting her rich, chocolate skin tone. But I have to ask: Where is the natural hair she sported recently? Don't you think this would have looked even more smashing with her natural hair? I do.


Tiffany Hines is working red and ruffles in this gown. I love the shade of cherry shade of red.





Tamera Mowery wears a one-shoulder gown from BCBGMAXAZARIA that mixes several trends all at once, with a long and short hemline. Not a big fan of the multiple style trends, but I do love the color!








Sanaa Lathan wore a classic gown modernized with a wonderful burst of orange.



Regina King is fire-engine red in this gown by Romona Keveza dress that shows off her sculpted arms.



Octavia Spencer's ocean blue gown by Tadashi Shoji that compliments her curves.
