2014 NAACP Image Awards Red Carpet Wish List

In 17 days, February 22nd, a host of stars will take to the red carpet at the 2014 NAACP Image Awards. Halle Berry is nominated for Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture for 'The Call.' I will say that I saw this film and I sat on the edge of my seat the entire time. When it comes to red carpet Halle Berry has a tried and true formula: black and tight. This long sleeve Azzaro Spring 2014 RTW gown is absolutely perfect for Halle for this event. Its sexy and sophisticated which is what Halle almost always goes for on the red carpet. A pair of black Saint Laurent sandals will finish this simple tried and true look for Halle for this red carpet.

At the Golden Globes last month Kerry Washington worked the red carpet in a white custom Balenciaga gown, which left me begging for more for the 'Scandal' stars maternity wear. Then came the SAG Awards and her now infamous hideous pink Prada crop top and navy skirt. I just could not get behind this look. I think that for this red carpet this gold Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2014 wrap dress would be perfect for Kerry to redeem herself. A pair of gold Christian Louboutin pointed toe 'Pigale' pumps and a gold clutch will finish off this perfect look for a pregnant Kerry.

The woman that I am most looking forward to seeing take to the red carpet during the 2014 NAACP Awards is Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture nominee Lupita Nyong'o. Lupita has been constantly hitting it out of the fashion ball park red carpet after red carpet this awards season, and I am sure that she will work this red carpet. Since I have discovered the Alexander Spring 2014 RTW commercial pieces I am praying to see Lupita wear one of them. This strapless Alexander McQueen Spring 2014 RTW tribal print chiffon gown would look absolutely stunning on Lupita. This gown was inspired by all of the embellished editorial pieces that took to the Alexander McQueen runway that will stay forever in the pages of magazines. A pair of black sandals, a gold Alexander McQueen clutch, and a bold red lip will make this look just absolutely perfect for Lupita.

The NAACP has been the only awards show to specifically honor Octavia Spencer for her work in 'Fruitvale Station' with a nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Movie. I am almost 100% positive that Octavia will take to her go to red carpet brand Tadashi Shoji for this red carpet. This navy tulle skirt Tadashi Shoji Spring 2014 RTW gown with a white lace bodice overlaid and a blue belt would look absolutely stunning on the Academy Award winning actress. A navy blue clutch, a pair of black satin pumps, and some very simple diamonds will make this look absolutely perfect for the NAACP Image Awards red carpet.
