At this year's BET Awards, held last night at Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, Dreamgirls stars Jennifer Hudson and Beyonce came out on top. Each lady brought home two awards: Hudson for Best New Artist and Best Actress, and Beyonce for Best Female R&B Artist along with Video of the Year for "Irreplaceable." Beyonce also gave a whole new meaning to doing "the robot" in her crazy mirrored gold leggings.

Mo'Nique hosted the awards for the third year in a row. Other notable winners include Forest Whitaker for Best Actor, T.I. won (again) for Best Hip-Hop Artist, LeBron James took home Male Athlete of the Year while Serena Williams was named Female Athlete of the Year.

BET Awards: Beyonce's "Get Me Bodied" Costume

While Beyonce's gold sci-fi performance outfit at the BET Awards may seem over-the-top - it's so cool to see someone wearing the gold mirrored leggings from Balenciaga's Spring collection! I know they are extreme but I give props to performers like Beyonce for bringing them to the stage to razzle dazzle us. How else are we going to see runway looks the real way. Well, you know how I feel - do you love it or hate it?

BET Awards: Jennifer Hudson

I continue to admire Jennifer for flaunting her bodacious figure and being so confident; she's an inspiration to us all. But I have to say her vintage-y floral print cocktail dress, though it fits like a glove, is a bit boring for the BET Awards. She could have spiced it up with some jewels, but she clearly decided to go the minimal route. What do you think?

BET Awards: Michelle Williams

I really like the color of Michelle's dress, but I'm not such a fan of the draping of the top and the negligee-like hemline. I wish she would look more comfortable in the limelight and quit living in the shadow of her Destiny's Child sisters Beyonce and Kelly. My verdict on the outfit? It's okay - nothing special. What do you all think?

BET Awards: Rihanna

Rihanna looks simply smashing in her retro-inspired white strapless Herve Leger dress! The sweetheart neckline, the waist-accentuation, the hip-hugging, the well-placed hemline - all together, that dress makes her look s-e-x-y. And she accessorized well with the curly bob and nude heels! I love it! What do you all think?

BET Awards: Kelly Rowland

Damn, this girl knows how to strike a pose! And I am quite liking her feather trim chocolate brown beaded dress. I think Kelly looks stunning from head to toe, do you?

BET Awards: Beyonce

Beyonce is looking beyond metallic in Dolce & Gabbana at the BET Awards last night. I love her makeup and hair but I think overall it's a bit too sparkly and tight. We know Beyonce loves to sparkle though so what do you think?
