From Braids to Birds, It Was All About the Hair At the NAACP Image Awards

Saturday evening marked the 52nd annual NAACP Image Awards and although it was a mostly digital gathering, we still saw such a mighty exhibition of Black excellence. The show went off without a hitch as stars gathered virtually to celebrate the accomplishments of Black and brown people in entertainment and the world at large. As the entertainment industry continues to adapt to the challenges of pulling off star-studded award shows in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the biggest changes has been the modified ways in which attendees show off their fashion and beauty looks. 

Well, celebs got creative this evening! In lieu of a traditional step-and-repeat, we got BTS glimpses of some enviable beauty looks instead. One trend that stood out most? The stunning hair! From braids to bobs to hats, and even birds (yes, birds!), the beauty atop the crowns of stars like Issa Rae and Tracee Ellis Ross left us speechless. Keep scrolling to see our favorites moments.

This twisty cinnamon bun looks just delicious.
We're obsessed with Novi Brown's braided updo. From the gold accents strewn throughout to the blunt-cut ends, the look is so chic.
As if King's stunning Oscar de la Renta gown complete with an oversized bow on the shoulder and flowing cape wasn't enough to make us shed a tear, her gorgeous multi-colored braids definitely took us there.
It's a bird! No, really—that a golden dove by Schiaparelli adorning Tracee's head. Iconic.
Consider this your sign to switch up the way you style your box braids. We're loving this sleek top-knot.
P-Valley star Brandee Evans was the embodiment of Black Girl Magic with these sculptural plaits.
It's the bob for us!
Ms. Ross came through with yet another fabulous head moment in the form of a wide-brimmed top hat. So glamorous.
Keys never ceases to amaze us with her artfully swirled edges. They're art.
Monae stunned in a gorgeous Christian Siriano gown and a bleach blonde cut fit for a queen.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato .

He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
