Cynthia Erivo Slays the NAACP Image Awards Red Carpet in Chic Pinstripe Power Suit
Cynthia Erivo is giving us all the fashion feels as she makes a bold statement at the 2025 NAACP Image Awards. The 38-year-old powerhouse, known for her roles in both Broadway and film, strolled the red carpet at the Pasadena Civic Center in a stunning pinstripe power suit—because why just wear any suit when you can serve looks that scream “I mean business”?
This sleek ensemble boasts a long, double-breasted blazer with sharp white stripes, complemented by matching black pants that have just a hint of flare. Underneath, she opted for a classic white dress shirt and a dapper black tie, proving she knows how to blend elegance with a touch of edginess. But wait, the accessories! Erivo jazzed it up with three eye-catching pins: a vibrant red flower, a gold and silver cross, and an eye-popping gold star-like embellishment—because why not? Talk about pinning down style!
Not to forget her signature long nails, which were decked out in a mesmerizing swirl of black, white, and shades of green, adorned with sparkling rhinestones. It’s this kind of attention to detail that solidifies her status as a fashion icon. Just last month, at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards, she wowed in a sultry Armani Privé gown, while at the BAFTAs, she dazzled in a figure-hugging Louis Vuitton masterpiece. Clearly, Erivo’s red carpet game is unparalleled.
In addition to her fashion breakout, she’s also up for two awards that night: Entertainer of the Year and Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture for her much-lauded role as Elphaba in the film adaptation of *Wicked*. But that’s not all—she’s also been announced as the host for the 2025 Tony Awards, an honor she’s ecstatic about, stating, “I am so proud and excited to take on this glorious honor.”
Oh, and let’s not forget her upcoming role as Jesus in the Hollywood Bowl’s production of *Jesus Christ Superstar*, which she’s clearly pumped about. With performances scheduled from August 1 to 3, 2025, summer just got a whole lot better for fans of musical theater. If there’s anyone who encapsulates versatility and style, it’s Cynthia Erivo—who’s clearly already one step ahead, slaying both on the red carpet and in her dazzling career.
