With Love, Thelms

I have always been the girl glued to the television during award show season. I love seeing celebrities transform into their best or worse, all the while strutting their stuff on the red carpet. Last night the BET Awards aired live and with that brought captivating fashion looks from some of our favorite artists and social influencers. After watching the entire show, which can I just add I loved — I have rounded up my pick for best dressed babes at last night’s award show. 

Rihanna 

This island hottie killed her BET Awards look, but did we honestly expect anything else? She looked amazing in her leather pantsuit that had to be made just for her. The pants fit her like a second skin in the best way and the belt detail of the blazer did wonders to accentuate her amazing shape. In other news us fans, continue to wait for her new music LOL. But no pressure though.

Draya Michele

In my eyes Draya can do no wrong fashionably. She continues to prove that with this black ensemble. From the high low detail of the gown to the prominent leg making its debut, this look was perfect for the award show. Tying the look together with simple hair and makeup solidified that this babe has it all together.

Justine Skye 

I absolutely loved Justine’s choice for the award show. Keeping it very JLo with the see through number, she made it her own with her choice of hair and makeup. The short cut of her hair did wonders to keep the attention on her dress. Overall, the look was the perfect amount of risque for the artists that would be in attendance.

Karrueche Tran 

I have been so obsessed with this babe’s fashion evolution. In the most recent years, every time Karrueche steps out it’s in a fit that does numbers to compliment her overall appearance. This vibrant slightly over-sized suit is no exception. The bright yellow of the suit brought a necessary brightness to her face that gave her the most beautiful glow all night. She looked stunning.

Yara Shahidi

This actress and undeniable change maker in the community can do NO WRONG ever. Besides having a major girl crush on her, I love that she constantly pushes the envelope with her fashion choices. In doing so, she still maintains a level of fashionable insight that just can’t be taught. The sweater added on top of the sparkle detail added to the entire look in a way that kept to the persona we love so much.

Meagan Good 

Forever hottie of our community. I respected the fact that she kept it simple in a mini blazer dress. Good, is one babe who has always understood the power in simplicity. The red did wonders to add to her overall glow and the braid situation… beyond. Well done Mrs. Good, well done.

Eva Marcille 

This top model and recent Real Housewives of Atlanta star brought all the sweet pregger vibes in this baby pink number. The look was a wonderful way to compliment her growing belly. Not to mention she looked amazing and carries her pregnancy so well. I also welcomed the eccentric shoe she paired with the look to tie everything together.

 

Mary J. Blige

The Queen of Hip-Hop & R&B looked amazing as she hit the blue carpet in celebration of her Lifetime Achievement Award. She kept to the norm and opted for a flashy deep v halter gown. The white and silver of the gown brought the glow and her beautiful blond tresses added wonderfully to the look (by the way she killed her performance. so much so that she got me out of bed dancing like only Aunty Mary can. If you follow me on Instagram go check it out before it disappears LOL).

Ciara 

When you have a killer body and a man who is loyal LOL, looking amazing while hitting carpets is a given. I loved the vibrancy of the red dress and the fact that the mini of it showed off her killer legs. After all, when you have killer legs like CiCi you show them the hell off. Am I right or am I right? I also appreciated the high fashion the dress brought with the exaggerated shoulder detail.

Jayda Cheaves

So if you don’t know who this babe is let me put you on game super quick. She is the girlfriend of rap artist Lil Baby and mother to his child. When I first discovered the rap artist, I did a deep dive into his life and from there discovered this babe. She’s a hoot on the ‘gram and from there my love of her began. I love the that she kept it fun in this form fitting tiger stripped maxi dress. Additionally, her straight hair and red lippie gave the look everything it needed. She’s just so bomb and everything the culture stands for right now: trendy, entertaining, and aware. You go Jayda Wayda, you go.

Ryan Destiny

This young beautiful black queen absolutely killed it in this number. The moment I saw her on the blue carpet I was in awe. Everything Ryan touches turns to gold or a fire ass fashion look. She’s another young millennial babe that can do no wrong in my eyes when it comes to the fashion scene. Last night continues to prove that.

Honorable Mention

Lauren London, looked amazing last night at the BET Awards. Though she didn’t walk the carpet (as expected), catching a glimpse of her as she went to accept the Humanitarian Award on the late great Nipsey Hussle’s behalf was everything. She was a vision in her black mini blazer dress with flashy detailing on the outer arms. She definitely made my list of best dressed babes who killed it at the BET Awards last night, but given he circumstances there were no true pictures of her fully.

I hope you babes enjoyed my list of best dressed babes at last night’s award show.

Catch you guys Wednesday for an all new post on WLT.

Till then,
