Fashion Hits & Misses At The BET Awards

It was glitz and glam as the stars came out for the 2015 BET Awards.

Local hitmaker AKA stays true to his minimal nature in an edgy all-black outfit and studded waistcoat.

These besties keep it sleek and stylish in matching white outfits. White will always be a hit. It was refreshing to see Amber looking dressed up and sharp.

Angela Simmons

Angela shines in head-to-toe metallic. The whole outfit is well executed and red carpet worthy.

Bonang Matheba and David Tlale

We are sad to say that we aren’t too impressed with Queen B’s look as we have seen her in more impressive gear. David, on the other hand, leaves us beaming with pride in gold and black with a touch of statement in the detailed brogue.

Brandy

Ms Norwood is a vision in a flared mini dress. She looks fabulous, and everything –from her hair to the dramatic dress, finished off with colour-pop heels – is a winner.

Draya

We can’t fault Draya’s jumpsuit as she looks super-stunning in it, though it is a bit plain for our taste.

Gabrielle Union

A bit more drab than fab for Gabrielle, this dress doesn’t do the beautiful starlet any justice.

Karrueche

Karrueche shows off her A-game in a printed two-piece with a detailed bralet. The grey hair is a total win as well.

Kelly Rowland

This dress is unique, but we’re not too sure if it works on Kelly. She looks slightly overwhelmed.

La La Anthony

La La’s heels give this outfit life. Yellow strappy heels are a must for summer, so take some style tips ladies on what to invest in for the next season.

Minnie Dlamini

Although Minnie is absolutely gorgeous in a sheer floor-length gown, this dress looks like something we have seen on her before; so, unfortunately, it’s a thumbs down from us.

Nicki Minaj

Nicki is simple in a zipped black dress…a little too simple in our opinion though.

Rihanna

Riri is fierce in this satin mustard suit. She gives us a touch of business casual. We love her well put together style.

Tracee Ellis Ross

Tracee knows what works and how to dress her body. She is absolutely flawless in a printed fitted dress and white heels.

Nicole Ari Parker and Boris Kodjoe

Instagram
Instagram

We run out of words to describe how perfect this couple looks together. We rarely spot them on the carpet, but they definitely know how to make an entrance.

Zendaya Coleman

Zendaya looks as though she was transported straight from the 60s in a shimmer shirt dress and pixie cut hairstyle. She looks super-cute and youthful. We like!
