The night was marked by exceptional performances from artists like Lil Wayne, Jack Harlow, and Lizzo but also Chance the Rapper and Joey Badass, Chlöe, Ella Mai, Latto, Muni Long, Givēon, and Doechii. Kanye West even made a surprise appearance to pay tribute to Diddy, who received a lifetime achievement award. Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, Nas, Lil’ Kim, Busta Rhymes, The LOX, Bryson Tiller, and Faith Evans were also all on hand to pay tribute to their friend.

Several of the presenters, performers, and award recipients called for action after the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade on Friday

There were moments of joy, however. Brandy did a surprise performance with Jack Harlow, and Mariah Carey hit some impressive high notes in a surprise performance with Latto.

The post “Culture’s Biggest Night” – Let’s Recap Last Night’s BET Music Awards 2022 appeared first on Voir Fashion.

LIL NAS X

This time, the most unusual, extravagant and ethereal look was worn by Lil Nas X, who decided to take the opportunity to celebrate Pride Month by wearing two different outfits in a gender-fluid aesthetics: the first, designed by Italian designer Andrea Grossi, is composed of a fairytale dress with wide skirt and corset, entrenched in a nineteenth-century appeal, covered with graphics that retraced various historical periods; while the second is a fabulous seventies floral suit that comes from the fall/winter 2021 collection by Richard Quinn.

TYLER THE CREATOR

Tyler The Creator, fresh from the release of his new album “Call Me If You Get Lost” reiterated his stylistic evolution by presenting himself again in a lobby boy aesthetic but a bit more street than what we’re used to. He presented himself through a new persona earlier this month in a short teaser, as he transcends into an Andy Warhol-inspired IGOR character for a more eccentric look. It looks like Tyler is sticking with this new aesthetic as he showed up on the 2021 BET Awards red carpet pulling off the same faux fur hat.

CARDI B

Cardi B showed up in a Dolce&gabbana gown, with an exquisite detailing that sculpted her body to perfection whilst revealing in the middle of her performance that she is expecting a second child from Offset. 

ZENDAYA

Zendaya’s look was particularly interesting, as she decided to wear a sparkling dress by Versace dating back to the spring/summer 2003 collection. We can’t help but notice the resemblance to Beyoncé’s look she wore in her first performance at the BET Awards in 2003, and we fully stan the supporting queen paying homage to the crazy in love start.

MEGAN THEE STALLION

The uprising star walked away with very special trophies, dominating the show by winning seven prizes. Her look was nothing less of a showstopper than her performance, accessorising the look with dazzling diamond earrings, rings and a pendant necklace, as well as an angular white clutch as she posed on the carpet with boyfriend Pardison Fontaine. For footwear, Megan Thee Stallion wore a pair of sparkling sandals. The stiletto heels with metallic silver detailing and ankle straps were embellished with crystal toe slides. Their sparkling featured was paired to perfection with the rapper’s jewelry and dress straps.

SEVYN STREETER

The star brought some shine to the fashion scene of the the night, with her La Roxx sparkling outfit. This dazzling monochromatic look was adorned with cut out gloves and an eye-catching headpiece, paired to perfection with a glittery eyeshadow that gave off a very 2000’s vibe, whilst bringing the look to life.

H.E.R

The singer wore a Giorgio Armani glittering power suit with transparent, relaxed trousers featuring a geometric pattern, which gave off a sexier, evolved style to the star.

TARAJI P. HENSON

The actress wore an atelier Versace dress, which featured a matching baroque printed two piece with pink accents joined together by a divine mesh corset that followed up to a sleek, sexy leg opening.

MARSAI MARTIN

The actress and producer, who became the youngest person ever to produce a film, wore Annakiki on the red carpet, with a beautiful orange ruffled top that defeats gravity and contrasting utilitarian trousers with asymmetrical detailing which give an unexpected, but yet delightful twist to the look.

It’s that time of year again – finally, the BET Awards are back and they have given us some incredible beauty inspiration. Black culture’s biggest night brought the hype with the likes of Mereba’s Medusa-like hair, Saweetie Arabian nights vibe and of course, Megan Thee Stallion looking drop dead. Here is a roundup of our favourite looks:

Megan Thee Stallion

Hot Girl Meg bought some serious glam to the red carpet. Sticking to her trademark graphic smoky eye look, she rocked sleek middle-parted hair with baby hair carefully styled on her flawless skin, ombre lips and big lashes.

Saweetie

Icy. Channeling her inner Arabian goddess Saweetie’s makeup artist Stephanie Nimoh created a flawless sunkissed base complete with a smoked out brown eye and perfectly arched brows. Hairstylist JStayReady coiled her golden blond hair into a tight sleeked back bun and beautifully placed baby hairs onto her face.

Mereba

This hairstyle is nothing short of a masterpiece – the complex braiding has become something of a staple for the artist. Her lit-from-within skin, elongated cat eye and gilded inner corner are iconic and go perfectly with this jaw-dropping look.

Sevyn Streeter

This look is retro-diva at its finest. Makeup artist Deanna Paley packed an icy blue on the eyes with a touch of silver on the inner corners for a multidimensional effect. Lips are very 90’s, with a dark brown liner and pink high shine gloss which makes this look a throwback masterpiece. Sevyn’s hair frames her face from under a headband (which is the same material as her outfit) and is curled in at the ends for extra drama.

Coi Leray

It seems 90’s makeup is having a moment recently. Coi Leray makes waves on the red carpet with cute braids, perfectly swirled baby hairs and lashes that could get caught in the wind and take you kite surfing.

H.E.R

Just look at that Hollywood wave. Hair is styled to absolute perfection looking glossy, full with a deep side part. H.E.R is all aboard the emerald eye shadow trend train, which looks fab with her whole ensemble. Makeup artist Marissa Vossen also warmed up the skin with a subtle blush and perfectly lined lips.
