NAACP Image Awards: 6 Cynthia Erivo Lewks That Prove Style Is Part of the Performance
With four NAACP Image Award nominations this year, including Outstanding Ensemble Cast in a Motion Picture and Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture for "Wicked: For Good," Cynthia Erivo's style run feels just as intentional as her on-screen choices. The vocal powerhouse dresses with precision, restraint, and a quiet boldness that never asks for permission.
These six looks show exactly how she turns minimalism into a statement and elegance into power.
The Sculptural Talk-Show Moment
This sharp black suit is deceptively simple until you clock the details.
The rounded shoulder accents, glossy hat, and double-breasted tailoring turn a classic silhouette into something architectural. Paired with sky-high heels and understated glam, this look doesn’t shout. It commands.
The Leather Jacket That Means Business
Brown leather, zipped to the neck, shaved head on full display.
This look is about strength through restraint. The texture does the talking. The fit is clean. The energy is grounded and intentional.
She looks like someone who doesn’t chase trends and lets them catch up.
The Oversized Power Walk
Wrapped in layers of rich brown tones, Cynthia turns the street into a runway.
The oversized coat flows behind her like a cape, cinched just enough to show shape without sacrificing drama.
This is winter dressing with presence from being cinematic, warm, and unapologetically grown.
It’s fashion that moves with purpose.

The Burgundy Statement That Stops Traffic
A deep wine coat, matching fedora, bold belt as this look feels like old Hollywood filtered through modern confidence.
It’s regal without being stiff. Fashion-forward without feeling forced. She’s not just dressed for the weather — she’s dressed for impact.
The Brown Draped Gown That Speaks Softly
This gown is all about line and flow.
The asymmetrical draping, the rich chocolate tone, the exposed shoulders as everything feels intentional and intimate.
It doesn’t overwhelm. It invites you to look closer.
This is elegance without excess and beauty without noise.
