Ashanti’s old Hollywood glamorous style was stunning at the NAACP Theater Awards yesterday. Thank you Ashanti for showing taste, class and for wearing red lipstick! I’m a little done with the nude lip for every single red carpet occasion. Her Veronica Lake inspired hair and fresh matte makeup was too beautiful.
