Shahidi graced the ceremony’s socially-distanced red carpet in a chic 1970s inspired get-up, centered around a rust toned leather dress.
She decided to cross-over the bright red collar and lapels on her striking A-line dress in order to create a mock neck silhouette.
Yara cinched in her already tiny waist with a black leather belt that featured a large, gold buckle.
The belt coordinated with Shahidi’s knee-high heeled boots, which also happened to be decked out with gold hardware.

Keeping accessories to a minimum, the Grown-ish star decided to place three gold bangles on her left wrist.
Yara’s raven tendrils were swept up and styled into a chic up do, with a few curls purposely pulled out to frame her face.
Before hitting the step-and-repeat, Shahidi posed for photos on the rooftop of The West Hollywood EDITION hotel, which is located in the trendy West Hollywood area of Los Angeles.

Yara, who took home this year’s Trailblazer Award, accepted her honor in an avant-garde power suit.
The statement-making ensemble included a black blazer with a plunging neckline and a cerulean belt that had large pieces of green silk hanging down from it.
The unique blazer also had puffed sleeves that cinched at the wrists and lengthy peek-a-boo cut-outs that ran down each arm.

Keeping her mixed medium blazer the focus of her look, Yara slipped her slender stems into a pair of black wide-legged trousers that completely covered her feet.
Giving her a more refined look, Shahidi’s hairstylist tucked her once free flying tendrils back into her voluminous up do.
With her hair out of the way, Yara was able to rock a pair of silver drop earrings and a set of hoops in her second piercing.
