Jennifer styled her monochromatic ensemble with minimal jewelry. The star kept her hair cropped short in a blunt bob and wore a natural makeup look that used soft peach tones along her cheekbones and a muted mauve shade on her lips.

The 2024 NAACP Image Awards honor the accomplishments of Black creatives in film, television and music. Queen Latifah hosted the ceremony and winners were announced prior to the show’s air date. This year’s honorees include Usher, H.E.R., Megan Thee Stallion, June Ambrose and Ciara.
