Which Taraji P. Henson Look Looks Best?

BellaSugar — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 10:05:11 PST

Short hair may offer less versatility than longer locks since it's harder to pull back, yet Taraji doesn't let her trimmed 'do stop her. At the 40th annual NAACP Image Awards preshow gala, she changed up her usual sleek look with wildly loose waves, but she was back to straight hair, slightly curled under, for the actual ceremony. I'm undecided which hairstyle I like better because I'm having trouble looking past that eye shadow. Both shades blend with her dress fairly well, but the chartreuse shade matches the gown perfectly. Is this just enough or a little too much to allow you to favor one look?

The 2009 NAACP Image Awards came to LA's Shrine Auditorium with cohosts Halle Berry and Tyler Perry leading the way.

NAACP Image Awards: Halle Berry

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 20:05:56 PST

We saved the best for last with Halle Berry, who's wearing a one-shoulder Pamella Roland gown and matching peep-toe pumps for one of her looks as the cohost of the NAACP Awards. The pink and gray iridescent tones reflect the light perfectly, and I love her bold turquoise jewels. Are you into this?

NAACP Image Awards: Rosario Dawson

Rosario Dawson chose to wear a black Rafael Cennamo tea-length dress to the NAACP Awards. The tiered detailing is a fun touch and I fancy the subtle built-in belt. For accessories, Dawson experimented with ornate silver earrings and exotic sandals. Do you love it or hate it?
