Fresh Faces and Performances Keep It Hot at BET Awards

Molly — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 07:05:00 PDT

While the red carpet was sunny and colorful in LA last night, the real fun was reserved for the Shrine Auditorium stage at the BET Awards. Some of the best performances of the night were from our young familiar faces like Chris Brown and Rihanna as well as some old favorites like Alicia Keys alongside En Vogue and TLC (minus Left Eye). How cute was it seeing Chris/Rihanna singing along with each other's performances from the audience? Love it. Kanye has said that he's done having tantrums over award shows (though that does not go for everything), but luckily last night he didn't have to walking away with two statues - check out all the winners here. Along with lots of Obama love, Fergie helped close out the show with Nelly her fellow pa-pa-pa-pa-party person before hitting what I'm sure was the real fun at all the after show soirées.

The BET Babes Are Brightening Up the Red Carpet

PopSugar — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 05:03:00 PDT

No two outfits were alike last night on the red carpet of the BET Awards. There were a variety of colors and lengths that showed off some serious stems and beautiful curves. The men were more laid back in sneakers and polos but there were a few cuties like Chris Brown who stood out from the crowd. Jennifer Hudson showed off her new bob while Alicia went from curly to straight and shocking in pink. Always a favorite and unpredictable, Rihanna showed up in a stunning yellow dress. Check out Fab for fun love it or hate it polls and of course Bella has a bunch too. Lil' Kim is usually the outrageous one but she was tame this year and left Lil Mama to look inappropriate.

The 2008 BET Award Winners

BuzzSugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 23:45:12 PDT

Well, there may not have been any robot suits at this year's BET Awards, but there was plenty of other entertainment, starting with Usher's pyrotechnic performance and continuing through T. Pain's transformation of the awards show into a circus. He told the audience to "ride with the ringleader," since "this industry is my circus."

There were some fierce performances from the female side as well, with Alicia Keys bringing up girl groups of yore, SWV, En Vogue and TLC, for a medley of the groups' hits, which definitely got "Waterfalls" stuck in my head for the foreseeable future. Kanye West took away two awards and performed with Young Jeezy. The actor and actress taking home awards this year were Halle Berry and Denzel Washington, and Al Green received the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Love It or Hate It? Ashanti's BET Beauty Look

BellaSugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 21:19:25 PDT

Aw, Ashanti! I've long lamented the lack of risk-taking on the red carpet, and Ashanti is trying something new. Red lips aren't groundbreaking, but pairing them with blue eye shadow? That's something we don't see much of. And her cool coif has a retro edge without feeling dated. I love this glam look on her. Do you?

Love It or Hate It? Jennifer Hudson's Blunt Bob

BellaSugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 21:14:12 PDT

Believe it or not, Jennifer Hudson didn't pull out her her signature pose at the BET Awards. Instead, she smiled pretty while showing off this angled bob. I like the cut, but it's probably going to look even better when it grows out an inch or two. Do you like this blunt bob on her, or do you prefer a softer look?

2008 BET Awards: Rihanna

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 20:42:22 PDT

Leave it to sassy Rihanna to stand out from the crowd by dressing like a raver princess. I love the nightgown-like feel her neon Giambattista Valli yellow ruffle maxi dress has. Seeing as neon is the trend of the moment, Rihanna has done right. Do you agree?

2008 BET Awards: Gabrielle Union

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 20:28:22 PDT

The lovely Gabrielle is a vision in this white draped Celine dress. The metal neck piece is really cool and her clutch is an added bonus. Her hair is even futuristic and flirtatious - well done. Do you love this too?

2008 BET Awards: Alicia Keys

I gotta give props to Alicia for staying on top of the trends. She hit all the right notes stepping out on the red carpet in a fuchsia strapless dress by David Meister at the BET Awards. I love the origami pleating and those Sergio Rossi paint splattered shoes are hot!

2008 BET Awards: Jennifer Hudson

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 20:01:22 PDT

The 2008 BET Awards have arrived! And with it, red carpet eye candy. First up is Jennifer Hudson, who opted for a strapless, bronze Peter Soronen dress that hugs her every curve. The piping detail is cool but I'm not loving this color on her. Instead of making her pop, it makes her camouflage. Do you love it or hate it?
