This year’s BET Awards were last night, and as so many of my favorite Black TV personalities, musicians, and actors walked the red carpet in Los Angeles, we were blessed with a plethora of knockout looks. The BET Awards don’t have your average red carpet. It’s a time to have fun with your look and take a step outside of the typical “long dress and heels” red carpet ensemble. Every year, I look forward to seeing the BET red carpet, and 2023 certainly did not disappoint. We all know the red carpet is just supposed to be the warm-up for the main event, but I’m a fashion editor, so as far as I’m concerned, it is the main event. We saw looks reminiscent of a ’90s R&B group, full-on couture moments, and lots of skin-baring silhouettes.
Naturally, I started to take note of which celebs made my best dressed list, and 12 of them rose to the top. Keep scrolling to take a peek at the best looks from this year’s BET Awards.
