Although the 2023 BET Hip Hop Awards was recorded on Oct. 3, fans were able to watch the entire show in full on Tuesday. Hosted by Fat Joe, the award show took place in Atlanta and featured the most beloved, legendary, and popular figures in the genre including Ludacris, Kid Capri, Jermaine Dupri, Nelly, Sexxy Red, GloRilla, and many more.
While it’s not considered as big as the Grammy’s or BET’s main award show, it’s still a fun time for the rap’s most popular to come together. As a result, we get some interesting outfits. Some are good, others are misses.
Suggested Reading
Since we already went over the train wrecks, let’s look at the good fashion moments at the 2023 BET Hip Hop Awards.
Ludacris
This isn’t a red carpet look, but boy, do I love this fit from Atlanta legend Ludacris. The afro and the throwback Deion Sanders jersey just does it for me.
DC Young Fly
DC Young Fly didn’t follow the path that his fellow comedian Lil’ Duval took. Young Fly went for a more classy and timeless look that got the job done.
Meghan James
All black on a dress is always a good look when going to an award show.
Danielle Miller
Again, all Black is always a good look when attending an award show.
Fat Joe
Big boy fashion matters too. Fat Joe had a plethora of looks at the award show. It makes sense since he was the host, but this one was by far the best. The white on white is just clean.
Vic Mensa
Vic Mensa is underrated as an MC and as a style figure. He does both quite well and this is another example that he’s always fresh.
Jermaine Dupri
Similar to Ludacris, I love this look because it’s a throwback. Jermaine Dupri used to always wear his jerseys backward and make it look cool, glad he brought it back for his performance.
Da Brat & Jesseca Dupart-Harris
Their outfits aren’t anything special separately, but together, they are super cute. It’s just nice to see Da Brat and her wife, Jessica, holding each other on the red carpet.
Dess Dior
All red is not as “risky” as it was 10 years ago, but I still like this look from Dess Dior. The red leather jacket adds a nice little touch.
Flo Milli
The BET Hip Hop Awards aren’t as formal as other award shows, so artists can have some fun with their outfits. Like Flo Milli, who added a fun hat to match her cute dress.
Baby Tate
Baby Tate’s look is similar to Flo Milli’s but it’s still just as good.
Lola Brooke
I know this look may be wild for some, but I’m a fan of the green flames (?) on the all-denim fit.
B. Simone
Ladies, you can never go wrong with an all-white dress.
Erica Banks
I feel like you don’t see a lot of Brown dresses on red carpets, but Erica Banks made it work here.
Young Devyn
This fit feels like it’s inspired by Young Devyn’s Trinidadian roots, and I respect it.
