The Best Black Men’s Looks at the 2024 BET Awards

Kirk Franklin, Usher, Gunna and more showed up and showed out at the star-studded awards show

Every award season, the ladies’ fashions are usually the center of attention. But at this year’s BET Awards, we couldn’t help but notice how many guys brought their fashion A-game to the red carpet at the event honoring the best in Black culture.

Although white was one of the most popular color choices this year, some guys pushed the envelope and grabbed our attention with bright reds and oranges. And each guy made their looks their own, with perfectly tailored pieces.
