These BET Awards Looks Are Guaranteed to Make Your Jaw Drop
While we've now become accustomed to spotting the celeb-favored nearly naked dress on the red carpet, last night's BET Awards show was shockingly tame. Although the stars stepped out ready to stun, they did so in smaller, subtler ways: a deep V-neck here, a splash of sparkle there, capes, feathers, crop tops — you name it, they rocked it. We even spotted some twinning moments happening among the ladies.
Needless to say, everyone looked fierce. Keep on scrolling to see all the jaw-dropping looks that caught our eye.
