The BET Awards honored luminaries in the Black community on Sunday night, and the fashion didn’t disappoint. Celebrities descended on Los Angeles to attend the annual awards show, which celebrates the best of Black entertainment across platforms including music, film, television, sports and philanthropy. A-listers like Tyla, Ice Spice and Blac Chyna brought next-level glamour to the blue carpet, whether they wore statement pieces or put their own spin on a classic black dress.
These are some of the most stylish looks from the 2024 BET Awards.
Silver hardware takes center stage
Celebrities stepped out in pieces dripping with silver hardware. Tyla, who took home the award for Best New Artist, leaned into the Y2K aesthetic in a vintage black dress with silver studs from Versace’s fall/winter 2004 ready-to-wear show. Video of the Year winner Victoria Monét opted for an edgier style in a navy leather dress covered in safety pins.
Fiery shades
Bright orange, red and pink were everywhere on the blue carpet. Ice Spice made a statement in a deep tangerine dress with a keyhole detail from Versace’s spring/summer 2004 collection. Actor-comedian Kway wore a playful, sunset-hued ensemble by Los Angeles-based designer Eloosiv.
Angelic in white
All-white ensembles were also prominent at this year’s awards show. Blac Chyna (real name Angela White), Tanner Adell and Kirk Franklin were among the celebrities who opted for head-to-toe looks in white. The “Can’t See Me” rapper turned heads in a sculptural wet-look gown from Jamaican label DéNalli, featuring a plunging neckline, floating shoulders and delicate drapery. Adell, on the other hand, looked fit for a debutante ball in a corseted Bach Mai gown.
Luxury in all black
Chic yet simple sophistication took over the blue carpet as sisters Chloe and Halle Bailey, Euphoria actor Colman Domingo and Sister, sister alumnus Tia Mowry jumped on the trend. The little Mermaid actress opted for a shimmering, backless halter dress from Avellano’s Fall 2024 collection, while her older sister stepped out in a sequined, floor-length Mônot gown with a diamond-shaped cutout on the bodice. Domingo, on the other hand, put a twist on the classic black suit when he wore a black-and-red ombre organza number by Ferrari.
