Tinseltown was abuzz this weekend as it hosted two major award ceremonies, the 54th National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP) Image Awards as well as the 29th Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards.

Both the yellow and red carpets displayed outstanding looks from figure-flaunting silhouettes to fabulous fashion moments.

Here is a round-up of the best dressed from the NAACP Image Awards: 

Queen Latifah in Tony Ward

Host of the NAACP Image Awards, Queen Latifah, stunned in four outfit changes of which our favourite was outfit number three. The burgundy couture gown was by designer Tony Ward.
