The NAACP Image Awards annually honors and celebrates the outstanding achievements as well as performances of people of color across over 80 categories ranging from film to music, and this year's red carpet echoed that.

Ahead of Saturday's ceremony, many stars were captured in some of their best looks — including everything from gorgeous gowns to stylish suits.

Actress Taraji P. Henson turned heads in an extraordinary yellow Del Core gown that included a sculpted billowing bustier top embroidered with jewels.

"Nope" star Keke Palmer was also hard to miss in a white and black Dolce & Gabbana suit that she adorned with a red rose on her jacket.
