Damon Wayans Jr., Damon Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Damien Dante Wayans, Gregg Wayans, Craig Wayans, Marshay Wayans and Chaunté Wayans arrived at the red carpet while wearing ensembles that drew from the same palette.
Damon Wayans Jr., Damon Wayans, and Chaunté Wayans embraced the burgundy trend with different suiting takes on the breakout color, while Marshay Wayans wore an off-the-shoulder lace gown with an ornate cutout pattern.

Marlon wore a leather suit with a velvet tie and Damien Dante went monochromatic in a double-breasted jacquard suit with a matching button-up shirt and leather shoes.

During the event, held on Feb. 22 at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium and hosted by Deon Cole, the Wayans family was honored for their contributions to TV, film and comedy.
“For decades, the Wayans family has been at the forefront of comedy, breaking barriers and opening doors for waves of entertainers,” Derrick Johnson, NAACP president and CEO said of the Wayans in a statement, ahead of the show. “Their trailblazing work in television, film, and stand-up has transcended pop culture and cemented their legacy in the NAACP Image Awards Hall of Fame. Recognizing their achievements with this induction is a celebration of a multi-generational legacy that continues to advance and uplift communities. The Wayans family has set a standard of excellence, and their influence resonates far beyond the stage and screen.”
In addition to being inducted into the Hall of Fame, Damon Wayans also took home the award for Best Actor in a Comedy Series with “Poppa’s House.”
