Guinea-born model, actress, and activist  — Mariama Diallo made an elegant statement at the 55th NAACP Image Awards in a breathtaking mustard Nicolas Jebran SS23 Couture gown.

The off-shoulder dress boasts a sultry sweetheart neckline with two (2) spaghetti straps, a tiny front bow, and a sweep train. Mariama had a petite waist-length cape over her shoulders which complemented the silhouette. She finished the look with minimal yet alluring makeup, paired with centre-parted wavy hair.

Mariama’s date for the night was her gorgeous mum who made a remarkable appearance in a floral boubou gown with complementary embroidery stitched to its neck in regal African fashion paired with a glamorous yellow headgear which gave off an illusion of the popular African “Gele”. She accessorised with bold gold jewellery and soft glam. Mama is a bonafide Stylista!
