The NAACP Image Awards recognize achievement in film, television, theatre, music and literature by people of color in a way that few award shows ever have. And this year’s celebration had no shortage of A-list talent eager to honor their peers. Adorned in statement earrings and custom designs, many of the attendees’ jewelry looks left as dazzling an impression as the performances themselves.
