Beyonce dazzles in white dress as she wins NAACP award

The NAACP is an acronym for  National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

The 37-year-old won the award for 2019 Entertainer of the Year prize, an award which she won for the first time 15 years ago.

Queen Bey, as she is fondly called by fans, dazzled in a floor-length all-white dress which was cut like a suit, with sleeves and lapels, which she rocked with a thick white belt of fabric

The mother of three completed the monochrome dress with a pair of silver stilettos with teardrop-shaped earrings made with green stones and smaller diamonds.

While reading her speech from a small piece of paper, she celebrated each of her fellow nominees, Black Panther’s star Chadwick Boseman, its director, Ryan Coogler, If Beale Street Could Talk star Regina King, and basketball legend-in-the-making LeBron James.

“Regina King, I love you so much. You’ve taught us patience, persistence, and how to be masterful in your craft.

“Chadwick Boseman is teaching children to dream and to see themselves as kings.

“LeBron James has taught us strength of all forms in leading by example and providing education for our kids. Ryan Coogler tells our stories in a way that celebrates our history and proves that we do have power at the box office.

“And I’m honoured to be included among all of you and to be a part of a vital, thriving community,” she concludes to thunderous applause.
