Fashion Review: BET Awards 2012


The 12th Annual BET Awards held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles Sunday evening was definitely a show to remember. From the G.O.O.D music group opening with "Mercy" to an amazing tribute to the late Whitney Houston, BET did not disappoint viewers. Despite excellent production, many of the looks on this year's red carpet left much to be desired!

We all love Queen Bey, but I'm not too sure if this Stephane Rolland Couture gown stole the show. The canary yellow color is amazing, but with Bey holding the excess fabric all night, we couldn't really appreciate the dress. Plus her fabulous belt could have used a little polishing...was everyone touching it backstage!

The Ladies in White! Meagan Good graced the red carpet looking radiant in the white gown from BCBG. Eva Marcielle was giving Kim K a little competition with this similar backless dress. In my personal opinion, Kim K won hands down! Yes she has gained a little weight, but her curvaceous figure does this Tom Ford piece justice. Honestly, Eva's frock looks a little cheap and the orange pumps really aren't doing much for the ensemble.

Claudia Jordan worked the black carpet in this gray draped number that displays her effortless beauty!

Black & Yellow is one of this season's hottest trends, but let's avoid looking like a bumble bee. Tatiana Ali looks literally like a Queen Bee in this yellow peplum skirt, while Model Selita Ebanks combines it with a little tribal inspiration by Falguni & Shane Peacock.

Melanie Fiona never disappoints, I love this black jumpsuit and the plunging neckline is to die for.

Boring! Singer Michelle Williams and Actress Kerry Washington were apparently going for the washed out look. These nude looks did nothing for their figures or faces.  Wasn't Michelle just on Styled by June and Kerry should be serving up something Scandalus!

Monica always inspires my closet. I love the blazer and leggings combo, especially in this mauve color!

Glamorous gowns! R&B Singer Letoya Lucket and  Rapper Lola Monroe brought a little glamour to the red carpet in gorgeous gowns.

This color looks great with Yolanda Adam's complexion, but this dress needed just an extra touch of glam! Maybe a larger broach under the bust line would do the trick.

I love Tamar's over the top personality, but I'm not a fan of the shoes with this look.  I'm all for this  abstract dress from Dominique Auxilly, but not with glitter pumps...may a black, lace peep toe!

Regina King needs to exit stage left in this picnic get up! Who styled her?
