There were many more red carpet look from the 2021 BET Awards held at the Microsoft Theater on Sunday (June 27) in Los Angeles, California.

Jazmine Sullivan was one of the big winners on the night picking gongs for Album of the Year, and Female R&B/Pop Artist of the Year.

She did so wearing a stunning fuchsia pink Gucci gown styled with Alexandre Vauthier silver sandals.

Despite so many attention grabbing looks on display at this event, this was easily one of the standout looks on the night for me.

MJ Rodriguez 2021 BET AWARDS

Simple and sexy was MJ Rodriguez’s M.O. wearing a Mônot Spring 2021 cut-out dress.

Lena Waithe BET Awards

Emmy-winner Lena Waithe presented the Best Female Hip-Hop Artist Award to Megan Thee Stallion wearing a custom Richfresh checked suit.

I like the pop of yellow here, but I feel like the shoes are upstaging the suit.

Lauren London  BET Awards

What I love about Lauren London’s custom Sergio Hudson look are the subtle details which include an unexpected train on the trousers.

City Girls BET Awards

JT and Yung Miami of City Girls both wore dresses created by Valdrin Sahiti, who has previously dressed Bella Thorne and Chrissy Teigen.

So many shiny elements, yet no sparkle.

JT styled her look with silver Sophia Webster platforms.

Issa Rae  NET Awards

Issa Rae opted to rock this white jacquard Balmain Spring 2021 blazer with the extreme pagoda shoulders as a dress with white Stuart Weitzman ‘Nudist’ sandals.

H.E.R  BET Awards

H.E.R. seems to have shelved her love for all things boho for a while, as she wore this shimmering blazer with and sheer trouser combo from Giorgio Armani styled with Stuart Weitzman ‘Bonita’ platforms.

I love the simplicity, and effortless nature of the look.

If you’re concerned with the sheer trousers, I’m just grateful they didn’t have layer that stopped short at the knees, like these Cecilie Bahnsen Elisabeth sheer flared trousers.

Chloe Bailey  BET Awards

You may be surprised that this black fishnet mesh gown is from the Valentino Fall 2021 collection, surprised to see Chloe Bailey wearing it, or both.

Valentino Fall 2021
Arlo Parks BET Awards

Arlo Parks’ love for oversized tailoring continues with this Valentino Uomo Pre-Fall 2021 suit featuring a blazer with an optical Valentino motif.

Valentino Garavani ‘Uniqueform’ boots and a Valentino ‘Alcove’ top handle bag completed her look.

Eva Marcille

You have to wonder how many people rejected this Michael Costello dress before Eva Marcille opted to wear it.

It’s one of the most tragic pieces I have seen in 2021. From the unimaginative, ill-thought-out design, to the cheap fabric.

The only things that get a pass here are her Jessica Rich shoes, and the bonnet.

Summer Walker  BET Awards

I keep looking at Summer Walker in this House Of SDVR dress and saying that it had the potential to be a great look.

Those shoes look awfully painful, and I’m also wondering how one walks in a dress this tight and narrow.

Sevyn Streeter BET Awards

Even though this La Roxx look sits so low that it reveals Sevyn Streeter’s bikini line, I have to say I love the look in its entirety.

It’s all about the body and the attitude.

Lil' Kim BET Awards

There is so much going on with this Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2021 look, yet all I can focus are on are her Jessica Rich sandals. I have cramp just looking at them.
