Ciara Might've Just Won Sexiest Outfit at the BET Awards in Her Bedazzled Catsuit

It doesn't get any hotter than this - Ciara showed up at Sunday night's BET Awards in an outfit that simply could not go unnoticed. Wearing a crystal-embroidered catsuit with matching boots and a black leather belt, while simultaneously debuting fresh blond hair, the singer went for a full sultry look from head to toe.

Though the sexy, skintight jumpsuit looked like it was made just for Ciara, it's actually from Alexandre Vauthier's spring/summer 2021 Couture collection. The mom of three is nominated for a BET Award for her track "Rooted" featuring Ester Dean, and she was certainly dressed like a winner. Ahead, see photos of Ciara's full sequined bodysuit from every angle.



Wowza, Chloe Bailey's See-Through Valentino Gown Is Working in All the Right Ways

Megan Thee Stallion's Diamond Hip Chain Is Undoubtedly the Sexiest Part of Her BET Awards Dress

After making their red carpet debut at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in May, Megan and her boyfriend, Pardison "Pardi" Fontaine, were back at the BET Awards looking smitten and cute as ever.

Don't Look at Lil Nas X's BET Awards Suit Until You Zoom In on His Meaningful Gown

Lil Nas X decided to make an outfit change at the 2021 BET Awards, but that doesn't make his second look more meaningful than the first. In fact, his blue-and-white gown - created by Andrea Grossi, a young graduate from Polimoda Fashion Institute in Florence - has a print that you've got to zoom in on to get the message, in case the voluminous silhouette didn't suggest he was making a statement.

Grossi crafted his debut season one designs, part of a collection called "Welcome to DeusLand," to question our society's customs and politics, which you'll see when you take in the shaded graphics on this "Historical" dress up close. It's also been worn by musician David Blank and featured in magazines, and now Lil Nas X has brought it into the spotlight to honor Black culture, unveiling the full look that comes complete with a zippered corset, a jacket, and white suspenders. All of the pieces were crafted through sustainable techniques, which is a commitment the label is dedicated to.

After twirling for the cameras in Grossi's "Historical" number, Lil Nas X proceeded to change into a '70s-inspired floral pantsuit from Richard Quinn's fall/winter 2021 collection, embroidered with crystals and colorful beads. Both outfits were accessorized with the same metal studs and silver rings. Scroll to see Lil Nas X channel two different moods into one major moment on the red carpet.



Please Place Your Attention on These Fabulous BET Awards Red Carpet Looks

The BET Awards red carpet certainly did not disappoint this year. Some of our favorite A-listers like Zendaya, Megan Thee Stallion, and H.E.R. showed up wearing their finest red carpet looks to date. Let's start off with Zendaya, shall we? Her stylist Law Roach posted an Instagram of her outfit which was taken from Versace's spring/summer 2003 archives. If it looks familiar, it's because Beyoncé wore a shortened version of this exact design for her first-ever BET Awards performance of "Crazy in Love" in 2003 alongside JAY-Z! Zendaya wasn't the only one who brought out the *lewks* for the award show. Chloe Bailey wore a sexy mesh dress, while Megan Thee Stallion also showed off some skin with her white gown that had a side slit that went all the way up to her waist. Keep reading to take a look at some of the sexiest red carpet moments so far.



Zendaya Wears Beyoncé's First BET Awards Dress on the Red Carpet - Now That's Respect

"Get you a stylist with a ARCHIVE!!!!" image architect Law Roach wrote proudly under a slow-motion video of Zendaya in her BET Awards dress, which was plucked from the spring/summer 2003 archives. But wait, this isn't just any old vintage number. Beyoncé wore a shortened version of this exact design for her first-ever BET Awards performance of "Crazy in Love" in 2003 alongside JAY-Z. This moment was incredibly defining in Beyoncé's career, as it also marked her third time singing on stage at any award show. The honor of rewearing the look that marked the occasion is certainly a tremendous one.

Zendaya strutted her stuff proudly for Roach's feed, allowing her purple chiffon skirt with its hip-high leg slit to blow in the wind behind her. This gown comes with a flash of neon green material at the neckline, framing the halter silhouette and elastic band that wraps under the bust and around the back. Beyoncé wore the look with a chunky gemstone and diamond choker, but Zendaya kept her jewelry more minimal, opting for elegant drop earrings and finishing her look with towering purple sandals in order to keep the focus on the dress and, of course, alluding to its history.

Scroll to trace the Versace moment back to its origin. With comments from Lizzo's "Sheeeeeeesh" to Priyanka Chopra's "Damn!!! 😍" posted on Law's 'gram, it's safe to say this fashion salute will go down in history.



Taylor Hill Is Engaged, and It's Easy to Fall in Love With Her Meaningful (Massive) Ring

Taylor Hill is getting married! On June 25, the former Victoria's Secret model announced she and Daniel Fryer got engaged during their coastal Italy getaway.

Taylor's new ring features a massive emerald-cut center stone plus two smaller complementary jewels. Three-stone rings like Taylor's have a special significance - according to many jewelers, the gems represent the past, present, and future. This ring style is popular for good reason (Meghan Markle opted for a three-stone ring too!), but it can be easily customized for each future bride to have a ring that's totally unique. Get a close look at Taylor's sparkly accessory in the photos below.
