There was a new spark at this year’s BET Awards. On Sunday’s blue carpet, the energy was there again, and it wasn’t just felt, it was shown. The BET Awards 2024 red carpet was everything it was: black, it was bold, it was beautiful.
Black Hollywood is known for its innate fashion diversity, so there’s no denying that “culture’s biggest night” created a bold, vibrant, quirky and light-hearted fashion vibe among its stars.
Other looks we noticed from this iconic night included Colman Domingo in a black metallic Ferrari suit styled by Wayman & Micah. What we love most about this evocative suit, in addition to the shine and sleek feel of the suit, is the gradient red at the feet. It’s a statement piece we can’t help but talk about!
Next up is Victoria Monet in her provocative blue period. At this point, stylist Colin Carter is unstoppable. He dresses her in a custom Samuel Lewis navy blue pierced leather dress with silver accents at the front. As an added bonus, the bottom half of the dress can be removed to transform into the perfect cocktail dress.
This is definitely Victoria Monet’s Cinderella moment, but with an edgy twist. Collin was up to the task, dominating the night with a one-of-a-kind performance and winning two BET Awards. This showstopper was perfectly finished off by pairing it with Monet’s trademark wet hair. She’s known for this aesthetic, and we love it.
Country belle Tanner Adell stayed true to her roots in this look that was light and whimsical yet bold. Styled by Alexandra Mandelkorn, the buckle bunny wore Bach Mai in a custom whimsical western piece. The country genre is new to the BET Awards, and she and Shaboozey (wearing Campillo suits styled by Anastasia Walker) naturally set the tone as the first recognized country artists. We can only imagine that an official category will be coming soon.
Rapper NLE Choppa ditched his trademark rapper uniform for a rock chic, sex symbol look that night. The young heartthrob teamed a see-through Dsquared blouse with Moirola Stone pants and Mason Margiela boots. This look was definitely a wild card for viewers, and what better place to switch it up and show off his versatility than the BET Awards. Fans were shocked at first, but he was definitely the fan favorite of the night!
Tyra has quickly risen to the ranks of fashion’s It Girl following her look at this year’s Met Gala, this time in an archive Versace Autumn/Winter 2004 “ready to wear” runway, and as if that wasn’t enough, the sexy leg-baring cut-out belly dress was accessorized with $230,000 worth of jewelry by Jared Atelier. E! NewsWell, is there anything else to say? We don’t think so, as Tyra continues to raise the stakes with every appearance.
