The BET Awards is finally here, and for the annual occasion that has celebrated Black entertainment since 2001, stars have embraced striking looks.

Held on the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, this 12 months’s ceremony also commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of Hip-Hop. Among the many A-list stars which have already arrived at this 12 months’s awards are Coco Jones, Doechii, Eva Marcille and Summer Walker, with a slew of other stars to come back.

The star-studded evening, which is accessible to observe live to tell the tale the BET network, will include performances by Bia, Fat Joe, Busta Rhymes and Tyga, together with a heartfelt Tina Turner tribute by Grammy-winning songstress Patti LaBelle.

Ahead, WWD showcases a few of the standout red carpet arrivals on the 2023 BET Awards.

Latto

Latto took her spin on the sultry sheer trend in a black plunging gown. Opting to wear a black bikini top underneath, the rapper’s ensemble mirrored an alluring black robe, with a wrap-around detail on the torso and a pool-like train.

GloRilla

GloRilla, who is understood for her single “Tomorrow,” wore a silver sequin gown with a black bralette attachment and a feather hem. The rapper paired the mermaid-style gown with black opera gloves adorned in link chains.

Summer Walker

R&B songstress Summer Walker made a blinding arrival on the BET Awards in a Yousef Al Jasmi gown. The look featured chainmail-style sequins over a nude base, which Walker paired with black peep-toe heels and an announcement purple lip.

Lil Uzi Vert

Lil Uzi Vert, who later took the stage on the BET Awards, arrived in a Louis Vuitton look fresh off of the brand’s menswear spring 2024 fashion show in Paris earlier this month. Under men’s creative director Pharrell Williams, Vert’s look included a black pearl-adorned bomber jacket, graphic-detailed jeans and a medium-sized duffel bag.

Eva Marcille

Former “America’s Next Top Model” star Eva Marcille looked to Genny’s fall 2022 ready-to-wear fashion show for her 2023 BET Awards look. She paired the brand’s leopard-spotted wide-leg pants with a blinding mermaid-inspired bra.

Doechii

Doechii embraced a Barbiecore aesthetic to the BET Awards, wearing a soft pink crop top adorned in hot-pink spikes. The artist accomplished her ensemble with Y2K-inspired themes, wearing bootcut low-rise jeans and her hair styled right into a short cut.
