It was raining in L.A. last night, but that didn't stop celebs from attending the 51 Annual NAACP Image Awards which were held inside the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. For the first time, the awards ceremony aired live on BET and on several other Viacom stations simultaneously, so everyone got a glimpse inside the biggest black family reunion of the year.

Soulful songstress/'First Wives Club" actress Jill Scott - who was nominated for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series - graced us with her presence when she popped up on the red carpet looking fabulous as ever in a printed jumpsuit.

Not only did she bless us with her beauty, she serenaded our souls with a rousing performance of "Do You Remember" and "Is It The Way." Everyone was on their feet rocking out to Ms. Jilly From Philly. Check it below:

@naacpimageawards last night was fun! I always freak out about these things; nerves on 1000. I’m like that. Great to have friends near who support and encourage. @traceeellisross’ speech was a highlight for me and anytime I can stand and clap for the great Rihanna, I’m there. Happy birthday @stevenkinlock. That jumpsuit was cute honey. Thanks @hallepinkberry2014 and Isley for hanging. All is love. Love is all. PS-We just people. All us. Wonderfully complex people. #Icebergthick
