Quinta Brunson Shines in Mirrored Dress & 5-Inch Heels at NAACP Awards Red Carpet 2023

Quinta Brunson made a statement upon arrival at the 54th NAACP Image Awards this evening. The “Abbott Elementary” star was announced as the winner of the Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series award prior to the ceremony.

While hitting the red carpet at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, Calif., Brunson gleamed in a mirrored gown. Her floor-length piece featured a strapless silhouette with a light brown base, given a sleek finish from a draped train and thigh-high slit. Adding a burst of glamour to the formalwear was an allover pattern of silver sequins in varying sizes, creating a light-catching effect for the occasion.

Brunson’s ensemble was complemented by large gold statement earrings punctuated by large golden gems, as well as several white and yellow diamond rings.

When it came to footwear, Brunson’s attire was finished with a pair of mirrored platform sandals. Her style featured thick angled front soles, closed counters and ankle straps crafted from gleaming metallic leather. The shiny set was complete with thin heels totaling at least 5 inches in height, providing the award-winning producer with a soaring height boost to complement her dynamic dress.
