From Braids to Birds, It Was All About the Hair At the NAACP Image Awards

Saturday evening marked the 52nd annual NAACP Image Awards and although it was a mostly digital gathering, we still saw such a mighty exhibition of Black excellence. The show went off

without a hitch as stars gathered virtually to celebrate the accomplishments of Black and brown people in entertainment and the world at large. As the entertainment industry continues to adapt to the challenges of pulling off star-studded award shows in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the biggest changes has been the modified ways in which attendees show off their fashion and beauty looks

Well, celebs got creative this evening! In lieu of a traditional step-and-repeat, we got BTS glimpses of some enviable beauty looks instead. One trend that stood out most? The stunning hair! From braids to bobs to hats, and even birds (yes, birds!), the beauty atop the crowns of stars like Issa Rae and Tracee Ellis Ross left us speechless. Keep scrolling to see our favorites moments.
