Red carpet has been rolled out in front of The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Friday afternoon, February 26 to welcome celebrities coming to the 41st NAACP Image Awards. Among those stealing the attention upon arrival was “Wizards of Waverly Place” star Selena Gomez. The 17-year-old songstress was stunning in her strapless, white floor-length gown.

All smile on the red carpet, the 17-year-old is among the nominee for this year’s Outstanding Performance in a Youth/Children’s Program award. She is up against such competitors as Caitlin Sanchez of “Dora the Explorer”, Keke Palmer of “True Jackson, VP”, LaShawn Jeffries of “The Backyardigans” and Nick Cannon of “TeenNick HALO Awards”.

Also looking gorgeous in white was “FlashForward” actress Gabrielle Union. Unlike Selena however, the nominee of Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series opted a long sleeves mini-dress. In the meantime, Sandra Bullock who came to the event accompanied by husband Jesse James went with a black dress.

In the male department, singer-turned-”Precious: Based on the Novel PUSH by Sapphire” actor Lenny Kravitz was dazzling in a black, form-fitting suit without forgetting his sunglasses. Sporting similar look was Mariah Carrey’s husband Nick Cannon, while fellow musician John Legend wore a bold, velvet ensemble.
