Should you caught last night’s BET Awards, it was easy to see why the annual show has been dubbed “Culture’s biggest night.” With a well-deserved Lifetime Achievement Award tribute to Diddy, surprise guest appearance by Mariah Carey during Latto’s set, and Taraji P. Henson as host, the 2022 BET Awards showed us why nobody can love us like we will. And we felt the love on the red carpet too.

Ahead of the award show we caught up with celebrities from Idris Elba to Ari Lennox, Billy Porter, and Dashaun Wesley who gave us a touch at probably the most heralded moments of the night when he told us, “We’re about to vogue the home down.”
