<![CDATA[The 2013 BET Awards have come and gone. But we’ve got all the red carpet fabulousness to dive into tonight. Check out our massive red carpet fashion round up inside of YBF rocking their fave designers at the Nokia Theater…..
Let’s kick this off with one of the best looking couples of the night. Before he accepted his Humanitarian Award for his work with his Wade’s World Foundation, Dwyane Wade escorted his “Beautiful Black Queen” (as he called her during his acceptance speech) Gabrielle Union down the red carpet.
The Think Like A Man Too & “Being Mary Jane” star looked fab in her curve hugging Zac Posen strapless red dress, Ruthie Davis Eastgate sandals and great makeup and hair. The cast for Think Like A Man also walked away with an award by the end of the night.
Meagan Good said TO HELL with covering up with the usher board’s prayer cloth during the gospel segment. Because chick presented a gospel award rocking this extra deep plunging royal blue gown.
We know her hubby DeVon Franklin liked it, but sheesh. She looks stunning as always though.
She also hit the carpet with the show’s host, Chris Tucker.
Speaking of stunning, Lauren London came out on the carpet and turned every head nearby. Pretty all around.
Yes Nia Long in all gold everything. She rocked a Naeem Khan sparkling dress, Jimmy Choo “Lance” shoes, and an LK Bennett clutch. Making 40-something look extra fly.
Chris Brown quickly hit the carpet with his artist Sevyn Streeter. Sevyn kept it sexy in an all white–the IT color on the carpet Sunday night–midriff baring look and the ever popular pink Gucci Victorie sandals.
Pharrell kept it dapper in his Lanvin suit before rocking the stage a few times.
Ashanti rocked a sexy little white dress by Aiisha and nude Givenchy sandals, one similar to Brandy’s look for the night.
Cutie LeToya Luckett rocked her all-white jumper and mini red YSL purse. Gorgeous as always.
Amber Rose, who rocked Versace, and her fiance Wiz Khalifa hit the red carpet for a parents’ night out. And got all kissy-faced for the cameras too. Y’all know everybody was yelling (in their heads) ‘Get a room!’…
Tamar Braxton is looking all kinds of post-baby fabulous. She took a break from newborn Logan to hit the Awards Sunday night. And she even walked away with the Centric Award. Nice!
Nicki Minaj gave body in her silky black Roberto Cavalli gown with a dramatic lace overlay and major boobage shown through the cut-out. She completed her look with John Hardy jewelry.
Before hitting the stage to perform, Ciara walked the red carpet in Lorraine Schwartz jewels, her silver Saint Laurent pumps, and a Saint Laurent combo of a leather pencil skirt and barely-there leather cop top as she posed it up with her man Future. Hot. Simply because she has the body to pull this off.
Brandy rocked a slightly sheer cream dress by Michael Cinco for her red carpet stint and her BET after party hosting gig.
Nelly was there for the “Real Husbands of Hollywood” TURN UP TIME. That damn Kevin Hart….
Mya popped out the D.C. woodwork to make her way to L.A. in her all white look. No clue where this chick has been, but she’s still looking gorge. Would say she should have hopped on stage with Beenie Man during his Girls Dem Sugar sing during that extra random (yet extra turnt) reggae break…but nevermind.
Think Like A Man Too star Regina Hall kept it classy and fabulous in her all black look by Misguided with a peek-a-boo sheer accent. And she topped it off with sexy & revealing Jimmy Choo “Taste” shoes.
The newly single Ne-Yo helped his artist Ravaughn twirl her way onto the carpet in a Diego Dolcini dress and Barbara shoes. She chatted up the press about her upcoming new song with Wale “Better Be Good” (that Ne-Yo wrote) and her brand new single “Best Friend”.
LaLa showed off those ASSets on the carpet in a ruched soft pink dress by Lanvin and blue heels. Chick must be on her squats game.
Big Sean was there and brought his girlfriend Naya Rivera, rocking colorful Emilio Pucci, along.
Michelle Williams helped co-host a red carpet show. Pretty look for her (her gown is by Nicci Hou), but she still looks like she’s playing dress up in mommy’s closet.
Paula Patton put down the liquor bottle and/or other ish long enough to hit this carpet in a Max Azria Atelier white gown with Louboutin pumps. Chick was on cloud nine and feeling EXTRA happy while presenting and doing interviews. She and her hubby like some blurred lines alright….
JB Smoove of “RHOH” hit the carpet with his wife Shahidah Omar.
Bridget Kelly was a showstopper in this chartreuse Maria Lucia Hohan gown.
Elle Varner…is that a denim-like skirt? Alrighty…
Chile…Beverly Johnson is not letting her Bad Chick title die anytime soon. She is snatched from face to knuckle. Work.
J.Cole was on hand to perform a few tracks off his hit album Born Sinner. And he rocked the ever popular Versace sweater.
DJ Drama knows all about that sweater.
Melanie Fiona rocked one of our fave looks of hers ever. A black and white Moschino dress with MUCH leg and the matching rin Dana purse all on display with platform Louboutin pumps. Loves it.
Bobby Brown hit the stage with his new “RHOH” co-stars after hitting the red carpet with his wife.
Master P and T.I. chopped it up on the carpet.
Janelle Monae rocked a classy stark white look with a fab embellishment for her turtle neck. Gorgeous as always.
Lil Mama has done a complete 180. This look is perfection on her. Maybe it’s the blonde hair, or maybe it’s the adult version of clothes she’s actually wearing these days. But either way, please keep it up.
Gabrielle Douglas went home with two BET Awards while rocking this Sheri Hill dress with a major train. Not loving it on her, but it’s pretty nonetheless.
French Montana looked like he was headed to wrestling practice.
We love men in suits. Boris Kodjoe rocked his own line of custom suits, World of Alfa. And red carpet host Tony Rock looked dapper as well.
“The Game” star Jay Ellis brought his mom along for a fab night on the carpet.
Nope, 2 Chainz wasn’t wearing a sweatshirt skirt. It was a sweatshirt tied around his shorts. Yep…we had to check on that one.
Robert Townsend brought his daughter Skye on the carpet.
Tatyana Ali kept it effortlessly sexy in this Lorena Sarbu dress and a stylish clutch by Lancaster.
Angela Simmons held down the BET red carpet pre-show with Bow Wow (how AWKWARD was it when Ciara came on for an interview and Bow Wow looked like he had been set up??) in this futuristic sexy look.
Tamela and David Mann hit the carpet before Tamela performed “Take Me To the King.”
Little Quvenzhane Wallis brought her staple puppy bag on the carpet.
WNBA living legend and model Lisa Leslie worked this black leather dress.
Jordin Sparks showed off her killer gams as usual in this brightly printed Clover Canyon body con dress.
Kendrick Lamar took over the night winning Awards and performing a killer set.
Miguel rocked the stage with his hit songs after walking the red carpet with girlfriend Nazanin.
El Debarge….seemed like a work in progress. But he was on hand to introduce and present.
Yes, this is how Trinidad James walked the carpet before he performed at the pre-show. This guy…and those braids…
“Vampire Diaries” star and singer Kat Graham made a vampy appearance in head to toe Versace.
Angela Bassett was stunning as always. Did y’all see her dancing it up in the audience to A$AP’s “Problems”?
And Adrienne Bailon gave us bold red curvy sex appeal in a Michael Costello creation as she hosted the BET Awards Style pre-show.
Estelle rocked the color of the evening–a white flowing dress with an embellished belt and mini train. Nice.
K.Michelle went the less obvious route and rocked a pink pantsuit. Not going to lie, we’re not loving it. But so glad she stepped outside of the box and did something different. She also won BET’s/Colgate’s Best Hair Award.
Jamie Foxx, rocking a Trayvon Martin tee, took a break from his White House Down promotion schedule to have some fun at the Awards.
Ron Isley hit the carpet with his wife.
Not the Pepto pink India.Arie! And please don’t ever be covered in it from head to knee again. Please and thank you.
Snoop brought his whole fam on the carpet–wife Shante and the kids.
Though she donned a strapless Zac Posen for the red carpet, star Being Mary Jane Gabrielle Union slipped into this sexy white thigh-high slit dress during the show.
During an interview with E! News, Gabby revealed that she is styled by Rachel Zoe.
TLAM 2 star Taraji P. Henson did a few spins in her black Izmaylova Spring 2013 silk dress.
Her body looked amazing with the sheer panelling and leather detailing. Simply gorge.

The Best Man Holiday cast also hit the stage and gave the audience a sneak preview at the upcoming film. These folks never age either. Terrence Howard, Harold Perrineau, Nia Long, Sanaa Lathan, Regina Hall, Melissa De Sousa, Monica Calhoun and Morris Chestnut all hit the stage together. Flawless ensemble cast.
Jamie Foxx acted the fool with Kevin Hart when Jamie went on stage to accept an award.
Dwyane Wade chilled in the audience with Don Cheadle.
