    2023 BET Awards: The Worst Red Carpet Fits

    As much as award shows are about, winning hardware and putting on great live performances, it’s also about what the celebrities are wearing on the red carpet.

    No, it’s not the Met Gala, but celebrities still love to come to the BET Awards looking their best. Some do, but many others also don’t. We don’t mean to hurt any feelings, but here are some of the worst red carpet fits at the 2023 BET Awards.

    Did we miss any? Let us know.

    Ray J is one of the most entertaining figures out here, but he did not entertain with this fit. The all-over print just doesn’t do it.

    I’m all for big-boy fashion, but this fit would’ve been alright if the orange crocodile skin wasn’t involved.

    Eva Marcille plays one of the best gangsters on TV, but I think even her character on All the Queen’s Men would disapprove of this getup.

    Yes, Michael Blackson is a comedian, and can’t always be taken seriously. But c’mon bro, it looks like his fit was drawn by a 5-year-old.

    Maybe I’m just out of touch, but this is a weird ass vest NLE Choppa is wearing.

    Can we get rid of the sheisty masks during the summer? I know he’s hot as all hell under it.

    Boosie’s pose is a perfect example of how everyone is looking at his outfit.

    Amin Joseph was excellent as Jerome Saint on Snowfall. But his blazer hanging by literal threads is confusing everyone.

    2012 wants its red-on-red fit back.

    SiR

    I have zero criticism of SiR’s music. But it looks like he’s a principal at a local middle school instead of attending the BET Awards.

    I’m all for showing off your body, but the green “dress” looks like it was ripped off of a bag of oranges at Trader Joe’s.

    Not gonna lie, thought her dress was made up of white Christmas lights at first glance.

    The cheetah print dress with denim boots is certainly a choice.

    Is Lil Scrappy going to a yacht party or a nightclub?
