Summer is here, meaning any red carpet opportunity calls for heat. At the 2022 BET Awards, the stars answered with plenty of sparkle, couture and vibrant colors. Whether turning heads on the red carpet or hitting the stage in eye-catching looks, stars like Lizzo, Mariah Carey and more were all in on allure at the BET Awards. See more of the best looks below.
Ahead of her show-stopping opening performance, Lizzo reminded us she is the queen of grand glam in a black sparkling Gucci gown with feather trimmed sleeves and hem.
Saucy Santana slayed not once, but twice on the red carpet. In addition to a high-energy performance on the red carpet, all eyes were on the rapper when he arrived in an Area-crafted, green and yellow ensemble put together by stylist extraordinaire Law Roach.

Styled by Jennifer Udechukwu, Chloe Bailey was full on regal in a black, sparkling sculpted gown from Nicolas Jebran’s couture collection. Her stunning look was completed with Le Silla shoes and Colette Jewelry, which included the Infinity Moon Bracelet, Guillaume Custer Ring, Entwined Wrap Ring and Colette Mesh Earrings.
Riding high on a new Beyoncé feature, bounce pioneer and queer icon Big Freedia dressed to impress at the BET Awards. With a special nod to Pride Month, the rapper donned “Queen” earrings and a ruffled Cosmo & Donato x New Blooming Moon ensemble that radiated pink and centered a rainbow center.
Carolina Herrera has long proven that a tulle red gown never disappoints, and Muni Long reminded us why at BET’s biggest event of the year. The singer kept the dress front and center with a pulled-back, pulled-high updo and a delicate diamond bracelet and studs.
When you’re one of the industry’s greatest, there is no other option but to show up to an awards ceremony in classic glam. Mariah Carey did just so during a surprise appearance during Latto’s “Big Energy” remix performance and wore a gold-lined black, velvet Dolce & Gabbana gown. She paired the outfit with a radiant necklace and a gold pair of heels and cuff.
