It was the 2009 BET Awards this weekend. Did you tune in? If so, you would have definitely noticed five standout ladies on the red carpet. Alicia Keys opted for an embellished Jenny Packham, Beyonce did sequined Balmain, Ciara chose maroon leather, Zoe Saldana continued her clean streak with Calvin Klein, and Adrienne Bailon worked a glam bubble dress.

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.

Celebrity Style: Eva Pigford

"America's Next Top Model" Season 3 winner, Eva Pigford, looked absolutely iridescent at this year's BET Awards. Not only did her multicolored dress match the bright red carpet, it also went perfectly with her caramel skin tone. I love how she minimized her accessories and let the dress take center stage.

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

FabSugar — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 11:12:10 PDT

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

FabSugar — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 09:42:15 PDT

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

FabSugar — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 09:35:25 PDT

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?
