The 2011 BET Awards were held on Sunday afternoon and the red carpet (green lawn?) was filled with spangle, colour, legs and leather. Some of it was successful, some much, much less so. In the spirit of this blog, let's say only good things about the good outfits. Starting with Kerry Washington who looked AH-MAY-ZING in neon yellow Michael Kors. Love the belt, love the peek-a-boo, wish she had gone for a non-black shoe, gold would have been so much better.
Kelly Rowland looked cute as a button and super-trim in her Notte by Marchesa mini dress. Lovely. And UK singer and sometime fashionista, Estelle, really looked beautifully subtle and elegant in her Naeem Khan asymmetric draped creation. This is the second showing for Naeem this week with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's silver backless dress also being his design. Definitely someone to pay attention to on red carpets.
For next year, BET attendees, I would recommend you leave the leather and ill-fitting mini dresses at home. Also, too, too many Herve Leger dresses, so step away from those as well. Go this route, bright, sleek, elegant and a little revealing. It goes a long way. Awesome.
