Monday night’s 2025 BET Awards was a star-studded red carpet event that offered up a nice mixture of style and grace from its attendees. And while some celebrities arrived dressed to the nines, others…came up short. Here is a look at the stars who just couldn’t get it right.
What a Distressed Brat!
Dressed like a “The Last Of Us” character, rap legend Da Brat walked the red carpet rocking a monochromic distressed look that was giving everything but award show ready. Disappointed? Sure. Shocking? Absolutely not.
Loud and Fashionably Wrong
From the Serengeti to the red carpet, Cory Hardrict boldly stepped on to the carpet with a wildly loud, cheetah print suit topped with a black leather beret. Bold fashion risk? Absolutely. Did we love it? Absolutely not. What a hot mess!
Flying Low With The Fashion Look
In true Jim Jones fashion, the Harlem rapper kept it casual for the red carpet, but added some razzle-dazzle by sporting a burgundy trench coat. Was it cold in L.A. or was he trying to make this a statement piece? Either way, it was a fail.
No-Effort Jennifer
Jennifer Hudson will never dodge those “she can’t dress” allegations. Hitting the red carpet in a plain black dress and minimal jewelry, the singer and talk show host gave us a look that had no effort. It appears as if she was attending a homegoing service instead of an award show. For such an important night in Black entertainment, her look was a major disappointment.
Kash Doll Wasn’t Pinned Up Well
Kash Doll walked the carpet in a brown snakeskin dress that completely ignored the black tie memo. The fit was off, the makeup was dry, the tailoring was awful and lack of support up top had our faces screwed up. Two thumbs down for showing up to the BET Awards looking like that.
Jordin With No Fashion Sparks
Jordin Sparks graced the red carpet event in a modest look that, sadly, did nothing for gorgeous curves. While the vibrant peach color looked amazing against her skin, the style choice was not hitting the mark.
Beauty and Her Beast
Popular couple Mariah The Scientist and Young Thug came out rocking an undeniably eye-catching look for the red carpet event. The young singer was seen wearing a barely-there emerald green backless dress, while the “Digits” rapper wore a black suit, carrying a stuffed duck bag and a fur mask. We all know that Thug is comfortable taking all fashion risks, but this style choice made no sense.
90s Boy Band Fashion Vibes
Vic Mensa arrived on the red carpet dressed like a 90s pop singer. Does 98 Degrees want their missing member back? This look was an absolute miss.
The Bedazzled Bust Was A Mess
Keke “Never Missing A Check” Palmer missed the mark with this dress. The “One Of Those Days” actress lost us with the bedazzled designs on her bust, making the dress overall truly forgettable.
The Unstylish Cam Newton
Channeling Jiminy Cricket in his colorful ensemble, Cam Newton looked nothing less than foolish at the carpet event.
Drew, What Are You Wearing?
The beautiful and talented Drew Sidora appeared on the red carpet in an unbalanced dress. The Atlanta Housewife was wearing a flared-out, glittery corset party dress that simply didn’t quite land, earning her an “E” for effort but not for the execution.
Mesh Couture Fail
Disney star Skai Jackson left nothing to the imagination with a poorly-designed gown. The gray corset, topped with a sheer mesh skirt, made the overall look more of a costume than couture.
What Event Was Muni Long Styled To Attend?
We are trying to figure out what event Muni Long was attending. Was it an office event? Her child’s graduation party? A church gathering? The outfit was too relaxed for the occasion. *Sigh* This was a complete letdown.
