    Weekend Hot! or Hmm…: The 2012 BET Awards featuring Beyonce, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, and more!

    by Jihan

    Hey Bombers and Bombshells!

    Okay, I have a confession: I didn’t watch the BET awards last night! I know, I’m terrible, but after a long weekend in the nation’s capital, I wanted to wind down with a Lifetime movie instead. Looks like I made the right choice as most of last night’s fashions were a veritable bore.


    Anyway, let’s get into it!

    Mystic Creole King Bey of the House of Yincé was escorted to her throne front row seat, radiant even in this questionably-hued Stéphane Rolland frock and Givenchy Sandals. I’m feeling the belt, but I hate to say it, I’m not particularly in love with this look. Hmm… could just be me.

    Kim Kardashian was no doubt thrilled to have the opportunity to legitimize her celebrity by sharing bisous with Her Majesty. I am really getting bored with Ms. K’s penchant for the monochromatic. *Sigh* this is what happens when you (allegedly) let a man take over your closet!

    Jay-Z and Kanye West looked predictably dull next to their respective dates. Kanye seems committed to not wearing color or pattern these days. Hmm… I know he thinks he’s adding some edge to his look, but in reality, he’s putting us all to to sleep! I miss the old Yeezy!

    Lala Anthony stunned in a Lois London Jumpsuit and Jimmy Choo Sandals. I like this look on Lala. Her body looks HOT!


    Selita Ebanks rocked a sheer-skirted printed frock from Falguni & Shane Peacock. I see she’s left her usually-tragic wigs in the crypt where they belong! I’m loving her soft curls! Hot all around!

    Kerry Washington usually brings it on the red carpet, but this time she eschewed glamour and bet on basic. This look is in desperate need of some drama! I’m bored! Hmm…

    Tatyana Ali opted for a poorly-executed version of the ubiquitous peplum, serving bumblebee (not so) chic. Yeah, I love Ms. Ali, but this probably-expensive skirt looks a little cheap to me. Hmm…

    Wow! Is it just me, or is Swizz Beatz tryna style on folks now? The producer threw on a pair of Givenchy tropical print pants, finishing his look with a white slit shoulder top and white shell-tops. Hot!

    Nicki Minaj attended in her usual Hmm…-worthy fare.

    Willow and Jayden Smith posed together on the red carpet. One day Jayden will look back on this photo and chuckle at the fact that he doesn’t look as cool as he thinks he does. Poor chap is serving the kids a bewildered Blue Steel. Work anyway!

    Toccara Jones couldn’t decide which print would be most unflattering on her, so she chose to wear three. Hmm… I’m not feeling this billowy Gucci Spring 2012 look on her. Toccara has a slammin’ bod, it would have been nice to see her figure in a more tailored number!

    Yolanda Adams once again brought a necessary touch of class and elegance in this red floor-lengthed gown. The gospel singer snatched all manner of wigs, one of which she gingerly placed atop her head. Hot! on the dress, Hmm… on the hair.

    Flo Rida hit the carpet in his Easter Sunday suit with boo Melyssa Ford. As long as there are women with figures like hers, cutout bodycon dresses will not go out of style.

    Rapper Lola Monroe thought no one would notice that unfortunate makeup job so long as she looked bangin’ in her dress. Hot! dress, BIG Hmm… on that makeup! An ashy lip will never be chic, unless of course, that zombie apocalypse really does happen.
    What Jermaine Dupri‘s stylist calls swag, I call a suffragette hat.
    Does anybody not like 2 Chainz? The Versace-dipped rapper enjoyed a probably-alcoholic beverage on the red carpet. The Styrofoam cup is a little trashy, but I think the rest of the outfit is Hot!
    I’m not a huge fan of Taraji P. Henson‘s dress (Hmm…), although I’m cool with her obvious lack of shapewear. Go ‘head miss Taraji, you don’t need to spanx!
    You know what? I think Elle Varner is totally cute, but this paisley getup is not my cup of tea. Also, what’s with the long sleeves in the Los Angeles heat?
    Meanwhile, in the real world, Nicole Scherzinger had a fun night out in this black-embellished number. I’m so bored by this look, I can only notice her neon nail polish. Hot! on that pedi!
    Sometimes, you don’t need to wear actual clothes to get a Hot! from me. Case in point: Shemar Moore.
    And finally, Eva Marcille attended Lala Anthony’s Pre-BET Awards Birthday Brunch in an African print skirt and spandex mock turtleneck crop top. The look is Hot!, although I’m not too keen on those earrings.
    Phew! And there you have it! What did you guys do this weekend?

      “Suffragette hat!” LOL.

      I love Selita Ebanks’ dress. It’s the first time I’ve seen the long sheer overlay over a mini thing done well.

      Hated 2 Chainz glasses but I love em!
      Poor Toccara!
      Swizz was looking good! I have to say I think he has actually gained 5lbs too.
      Biggest WTH is Jermaine Dupri! Where is he going with his political colors on!
      Nicki, I wasn’t feeling the ghostly pale face and blonde wig!
      LaLa, Selita, Melyssa look nice.
      Kim K it’s time to change it up.
      Bey’s dress I loved but I’m sick of the same lace front. Change it up!

      I would say that fashion wasn’t the highlight of the night…moreso the performances—Cissy Houston silenced the crowd and made others teary eyed. Touching…although I do like the skirt that Ms. Eva is rocking.

      I love Eva Marcille’s look. (Even though she know her last name is Pigford….but anyway…) The printed skirt, hair and make up is all on point. But I can do without the glasses.

      Claire I am starting to be disappointed in your critiques…

      2Chainz looked like a effing ghetto cowboy and you thought that was ok.

      Swizz Beatz looked foolish. Point, blank PERIOD.

      LaLa looked like she was 300 lbs in that horrendous jumpsuit.

      And Kim Kardashian’s mod/simplistic dresses are what my her styles timeless.

      Miss. Claire I’m not sure if you know the difference between FASHION, STYLISH and TRENDY.

      Selita’s look is hott! Best of this post. I was thinking Beyonce’s dress was a Mama Tina creation. That dress looks cheap. Not feeling her look at all. Although I’d never want to see my man in those pants, I’m really digging Swizz Beat’s look as well. Eva’s look is cute. Although I prob would’ve gone for a slightly shorter skirt. I just purchased those Gucci sandals on sale. Due to the color, wasn’t quite sure how to wear them. She gave me an idea.

      Selita and Eva look the best ….Shemar Moore looks great, the Smith children look like brother…and brother :-/
      Jihan keep the commentary coming just the way it is….you stick to the topic at hand which is fashion, with a little satire that’s all your own…..it’s what writers do. :-)

      @Bre Bre before you go attacking Claire, you should probably scroll up to see that she didn’t write this post.

      Anywho, Lola Monroe’s makeup always looks bad. I wonder if she does it herself or what type of lighting she has.

      Beyonce somehow pulled this off for me. Motherhood looks great on her.

      Taraji let me down girl! As soon as she walked on stage the camera angle from the side made my mouth drop. I wondered if she was with child. Shapewear knows no age, weight, or status. Invest!

      And Iiked Tatyanna Ali’s look. Maybe a different shoe would have made it come together better.

      I enjoy your commentary Jihan. Keep it it up!

      Bey’s dress left me feeling hmm…
      Kim – Where did she think she was going?? and you do not, not dance when Maze and Frankie are on stage!!!
      Jay/kanye – meh
      Lala – LOVED her look
      Selita – Hmmmm…something about it was a little off…i’m thinking a top messy-ish bun would have pulled it together…and dangly earrings
      Kerry – hmmm..try again
      Tatyanna – I liked her look, minus the shoes
      Nicki – no
      Tocarra – Did she raid a great-great aunties closet?? And that hair – no
      Eva – LOVE

      @BreBre Thanks so much for teaching me the difference between what is fashionable, stylish, and trendy!

      I’ll be sure to consult you for your input next time I venture to discuss anything about fashion, since you’re clearly the authority on the topic

      I love Jihan!

      I wish I could have seen what Solange wore, but Bey looked good and I hardly think she hits the fashion mark. Her husband however, looked like a cross between 808′s Kanye and PeeWee Herman, but he’s Jigga.

      LOVE Selita’s dress and she’s another one who usually misses it.

      Everyone else? Yawn or next!

      I am confused how someone can critique anyone when they did not read from start to finish…. I know when I want to make someone feel stupid I make sure I read so I can insult the right person with that being said. Bre Bre and Nakiah you ladies need to start the morning over and cut the shit. Jihan you are one funny lady….

      Jihan, you are hilarious. I love Lola Monroe’s dress. What you said about her makeup…priceless. Selita Ebanks looked stunning in her dress. I never seen a dress like that before but she pulled it off well. I loved LaLa’s look. The sequin pants suit was cute. Sequin seems to be the trend this summer. Kim K looked very uncomfortable at the BET awards. I wonder if I am the only one that notice that(side eye).

      yea, um JayZ didnt look that bad to me…except for the WHITE SHOES, maybe a soft gray suede shoe,shrugs…

      Beyonce, looks a sloppy mess. Her dress looks like stage curtains..unfinshed looking..

      Nicole looks beautiful as usual.
      Kim killed everyone!
      I would say Melissa looks nice but her hmm…
      Yolanda looks nice, I just don’t like fake church ppl.
      Eva outfit is nice,but not for this occassion.
      Kanye looks basic,but better than his uncle PeeWee.

      What?! Elle Varner was easily one of the best dressed of the night, she looked great! King Bey looked good as well. Kerry really did serve up a snooze fest, I guess she didn’t want to waste a gown on the BET awards. Selita looked fab, wasn’t that into the hair though. LaLa’s jumpsuit was horrid. LOL at Jermaine Dupri’s suffrage hat! What was Ms. Ali thinking? She needs more people! I can’t with Malissa Ford and Flo Rida…

      In my book, Beyonce almost always gets it right. Her look from last night reminds me of a prom dress. Really feeling Swizzy’s fit! Selita looks great! Not feeling Nicki’s dark brows with that light hair. I enjoyed last nights show, especially Frankie Beverly & Maze :-)

      Leave Jihan alone. This is her writing style. People are just upset because their favorites are not praised.
      No Beyonce’s dress was a flashback to her mother’s “creations” during DC area. Bad. And that Xenu the warrior belt, like seriously. I’m so disappointed in Kerry washington.

      I love Elle Varner’s look tho.. when i went to Panama recently..that style of dress was in every store. Selita is def serving in that outfit… love it!

      I like this site but do not like when the writers (Claire and Jihan) take shots at the readers for expressing their opinions. Very déclassé. Normally Jihan is tactful but perhaps management should consider refraining from engaging in cyber disputes with commenters. Sigh. Focus on the fashion ladies. I’m now convinced most black women use blogs to attack rather than support one another.

      As far as this post, there really isn’t any outfit that I found drool worthy. Everyone looks very blah an I don’t blame them, it is too hot for alladat!
      Eva’s lips look nice… Swizz pulled off his floral pants very nicely.

      BET Awards and fashion do not go hand in hand. They never have and they never will. And like you Jihan I too watched Lifetime instead of the awards lol.

      @Jihan – Your attitude is TACKY and UNPROFESSIONAL! Why take the time to reply to someone else’s critique? I’m pretty sure you aspire to be a writer at a fashion magazine one day (or any other publication for that matter) but your response was uncalled for. Yes, I understand you’re a a bit “sarcastic.” I also understand this is a blog and people are entitled to their opinions. Whether or not you agree with those opinions, there is no need to be unprofessional with your “sarcasm.” Take the criticism, critiques, etc. and keep it moving.

      Do stylists all band together and boycott the BET Awards, because everyone but Swizz looked ridiculous or boring. I know we’re all supposed to bow at the feet of Beyonce and Jay Z, but he had on Pee Wee Herman’s suit, and she had on my tacky aunt Jacquelyn’s silk bed sheets wrapped around her body with a stolen Appalonia belt.

      I love Bey – always. But I am confused by the dress. Was it too long? Is that why she was holding it? Was it a dress or a one-legged jumpsuit? I don’t know. But I loved the color and she was beautiful.
      As usual, the fashion at the BET awards was awful. But Jihan’s commentary was hilarious.

      I disagree personally I thought Elle Varner stole the show. She is the only one who stood out to me and that I remember the next day. Her look was different but complemented her at the same time. Everybody else was a snooze feast, like we already saw them in these outfits before.

      I simply CANNOT with these anonymous trolls who dish out insults and snarky attacks and expect nothing in return from the ones they put down. So Andrea you expect someone to say something derisive to Jihan and have her keep mum so that she’d not be “declasse” as you sooooo wittily put it ? Who in the world do you people think you are?

      It’s the same thing with the ladies who are brave enough to submit photos to this site. The lot of you do nothing but verbally tear them down and still expect nothing back or else the victim is classless. When yesterday’s bombshell was thrashed because of what was soon discovered to be an editorial mistake some loser turned the typical fashion bomb b*tchfest on Claire, calling her unprofessional and all sorts of unwarranted names for what was obviously a mistake. The fool didn’t realize that if her fellow nasty mouthed cronies knew something about courtesy in the first place none of the drama would occur.

      Claire I think you should consider censoring or moderating the posts that come through to maintain the level of decorum that you obviously want for the site. There is simply no other way to get to these women who obviously have massive issues with self esteem. Jihan good job and thank you for your level-headed responses.

      Why is is ok for commenters to share their critiques, but Jihan can’t respond. Yall shut the hell up and leave her alone! Claire is very competent at what she does if you can’t tell. So how about we let her edit Jihan’s post from now on??

      July 2, 2012 4:38 pm

      Jihan reel it in a little. This isn’t media takeout. I understand the humor you’re going for but come on.. You’re not a fashionbombdaily commenter, you’re an editor or contributer. Some of your commentary are a tad outlandish. Look at Claire’s posts and see how she is able to state her opinion without being crass. I mean throwing shade at kids too. If you plan to be a professional in the editorial world, learn to edit yourself. You’re making conscious effort to be a mean girl and it’s unneccesary.

      That said, all you Jihan voltrons can come at me now :) * cocks rifle*

Makeup was blah, but nonetheless, i think her dress stole the show. loved Selitas dress, Swiss’s pants look hotter in the picture than i imagine they do in realtime… plant life on a man can NOT be sexy. ..period. However, white is his color. As for Bey …i just have not figured out what she was trying to do in this dress, but she is radiating happiness! And why was there no comment on Flo Rida’s obviously Hmmmm jacket!? Jihan, i needed another good laugh!! lol

Kim’s dress was HOT..but I’m starting to get tired of her minimalist edgy look. Fix that hair and wear some damn earrings.

      Beyonce is not really known for her fashion sense, but the outfit is one of the worst I’ve seen her ear in years. The shoes are also a nightmare. The best part of her look was the belt, everything else is blah. It looks she pulled out her satin sheets and let her mama sew her up something real nice and prety for the EBT awards. Kim looked boring, she;s look wayyyyyyyyy better. Selita was the best dressed! Two thumbs up to that. Lola monroe looked like she was diped in latex, she always looks cheap. Lala really needs to just stop, she’s shaped like an icecream cone. Kerry washingtom looks like death on a stick. She just looks liek she is drying up. Ms. Pigford outfit is a mess,escpecialy her accesories.

      I love the chartreuse colour on Beyonce and the shoes and belt but the dress was I’ll fitting. Maybe too tight. Definitely proportioned wrongly. It’s so long she had to carry it around and crumple it all night.

      Jihan, you are AWESOME!!! Your writing style is great. We may disagree on certain fashion styles, but hey, this is YOUR blog.

      Don’t listen to some of these fools. People feel the need to constantly spew venom, but get upset when they get a response they don’t like. If they don’t like the site, move on to another. Do they think you are supposed to change because they don’t like your style? Bump that.

      I also didn’t watch the BET awards. I haven’t watched it in years. Going based on this post, the fashion was an overall bore (not surprised). lol

      I wonder at times if this a gossip blog. Why is there so much commentary on their personal life or status. Someone like myself who loves fashion I just want to know who made the garments and shoes along with prices. Who is on thrown, who you’re tired of looking at, majesty or not along with snide comments please leave to necole bitchie, mediatakeout, theybf, tmz or commenters like myself if they choose to go beyond the fashion.

      The commentary Is slightly irritating when all I want to know is the designers or if there are alternative pieces unless you guys don’t know the designers so you attack other aspects of the person.

      @ Andrea & Meeks

      Both make very strong points. But, I guess we all differ in opinions on this site. Some may like Jihan’s style of commenting and others may take it to an offence.

      I personally think the Fashion Bomb should be about fashion ONLY! But, nothing is wrong w/ getting a few laughs out of a post. Also, I think some blog commenters need to stop trolling!

      The Fashion Bomb Daily is not going to change overnight just because a few people dislike Jihan’s post. I think some people need to READ before they make any comments.

      I’m with you Jihan, the BET awards fashions were so disappointing I may not watch it next year. And that makes me sad because the show itself was better than last. But, I’m baffled at the thought that most of our favorite entertainers were no where CLOSE to their usual fashion statements… it was like watching a 30 year high school reunion where folks just grabbed whatever “to show their face in the place”…SMH

      Kim Kardashian and Kanye are boring me as a couple…at least when he was with Amber he dressed himself and her better…this white on white black on black crime needs to stop ASAP
