Winner! Queen Latifah received the American Black Film Festival Honors’ Entertainment Icon Award on Friday night in Beverly Hills

She’s one of the most prolific actresses in Hollywood. So it’s not surprising that Queen Latifah received the American Black Film Festival Honors’ Entertainment Icon Award on Friday night in Beverly Hills.

The 46-year-old Hollywood veteran looked radiant as she accepted her award in a bold crimson number.

The sleeveless garment was perfectly draped and fell all the way to the floor.

Accessories included a matching red clutch, gold spangly bracelets on each wrist and a pair of red tassel earrings.

Her caramel tresses were parted on the left and dramatically brushed down past her right shoulder.

Subtle blush, neutral lipstick and heavy dark eye shadow ensured the one time Oscar nominee was ready for her turn in front of the cameras.
