NAACP redux.

The annual NAACP Image Awards aired last night. So if you decided not to acknowledge the fact that it was...you know....Valentine's Day, you may have caught it (with a pint of ice cream in hand...hey, no judgement!).

Some cheerful colors (and winners) made their way down the red carpet.

Vanessa Williams won an award for her role in "Ugly Betty" and a thumbs up in our book for her toned down and tone-complimenting look with this dress by Zuhair Murad.

UPN WB CW's "The Game" stars Tia Mowry and the ha-larious Wendy Raquel Robinson made an appearance before the network changed it's name and cancelled thier show, too (RIP: "Girlfriends").

Wendy: My secret to this body is running, pilates, and carrying much of the success of the show on my shoulders...and a balanced diet.

Tia and Holly Robinson Peete (below) were one of a few actresses who chose dresses by Farah Angsana, with colors and embrodery reflective of the designer's Southeast Asian roots:

Yeah, beats us, too! Last time we saw you, it was on BET's 525th weekend showing of "Boomerang" (1992). You know, back when Eddie Murphy was...normal? (Relatively.)

Oh, I see. The man with the box office-topping touch. Forget Buddha, Tyler Perry's is the belly to rub in Black Hollywood.
