Last night, many of you were entertained by the televised
concert (because there were more performances than awards given) better known
as, the BET Awards.
If not, don’t worry.
We are here to give a brief recap and to also share some of the most fashionable moments both on and off the red carpet!
Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross were this year's hosts. They kept the crowd entertained with funny sketches, bizarre wardrobe changes and many celebrity impressions. Aside from their great chemistry, Ross looked stunning the entire night. Her fashion was just as equally impressive as her comedy. Anderson cleaned up pretty well too.
The show opened with Kendrick Lamar, performing "Alright" from his latest album,
To Pimp a Butterfly. Lamar rapped on top of a graffiti covered police car with an American flag waving behind, and several dancers below dressed in all black. His performance was very uplifting, tributing the recent racial events in America, and was a perfect show opener.
Janelle Monae graced the stage next with her new single, "Yoga". New artist, Jidenna, later joined Monae on stage and performed his single, "Classic Man". Neither disappointed, but it was Jidenna who stole the show with his impeccably dressed dancers.
Other performers included: Chris Brown and Tyga, The Weeknd and Alicia Keys, Donnie McClurkin, Meek Mill and Nicki Minaj, Empire Cast, Anthony Hamilton and Gary Clark Jr., Big Sean and E-40, and Fetty Wap.
The tributes were also crowd pleasers. Bad Boy Entertainment surprised us all with a full on 90s flashback concert with 112, Faith Evans and even Lil Kim. Diddy, however, had a little too much fun, and had a slight mishap when he fell through a hole on stage that was used to bring a new artist from underground.
Tori Kelly amazed everyone with her pitch perfect pipes again during the Smokey Robinson tribute. She was joined by Robin Thicke and Ne-Yo.
Janet Jackson also received a tribute. Tinashe, Jason Derulo and Ciara all performed a few of Jackson's greatest hits. Jackson looked better than ever as she received her award and announced her music return and also her upcoming tour.
We were all surprised to see a performance by Tamar Braxton and K. Michelle, who recently ended an ugly feud. They stayed true to their word and looked as if they were truly over the drama. The two were later joined by the great Patti Labelle. Unfortunately, viewers were more interested in Braxton's makeup than her performance itself.
