Kerry Washington [1] can basically do no wrong when it comes to the red carpet. She flawlessly introduced the world to the maternity crop top [2], wore a gown fresh off the runway [3], and has a tendency to turn any occasion into a princess-dress level [4] affair.

And Friday night's NAACP Image Awards, held in Los Angeles, was no exception. Kerry selected what, at first glance, seems like a simple black and white gown. The Victoria Beckham [5] dress, though, was taken to new heights by a shimmering silver band just above her waist. Paired with an angular Jimmy Choo clutch, Kerry's look was at once modern and refined. Read on for a closer look at Kerry's gown, and make sure to check out all the looks from the 2016 NAACP Image Awards [6].
