Sonequa Martin-Green and Danai Gurira may be on the same team in their hit horror-drama TV series “The Walking Dead,” but the two were decidedly in different fashion camps at the 2018 NAACP Image Awards. Sonequa, who plays Sasha, went way overboard with her shoe pick, while Danai — aka Michonne — went too simple with hers.

Sonequa Martin-Green hit the red carpet in a Christian Dior Resort 2018 horse-print dress with a strong rodeo-inspired vibe. She glammed up the burlap-sack-like frock with a formal Roger Vivier black satin clutch and Neil Lane diamonds dripping from her ears, neck, and wrists.

Her play of contrasts would’ve been perfect, but her addition of the Paula Cademartori “Iris”black satin pumps with huge fan crystal embellishments threw the balance off.

Danai Gurira was resplendent in a white Rodarte Spring 2018 off-shoulder dress with a riot of ruffles at the neckline and the asymmetrical hem. She matched the punky pearl-and-gold barbel piercings on her dress with mismatched safety pin and diamond stud earrings on her lobes.

The Zimbabwean-American actress and playwright completed her look with a pair of minimalistic Jimmy Choo “Hesper” sandals that may have been too boring of a shoe choice considering the elaborate details on the rest of her outfit.
