1) Nandi Mngoma in COLOUR

2016+BET+Awards+Arrivals-nandi-mngoma

The 2016 BET Awards were filled with plenty of musical surprises, including Beyonce’s shocking performance of her motivational anthem “Freedom, but the red carpet was just as equally tantilizing! First up, we have television personality/designer Nandi Mngoma who left onlookers speechless as she donned a black and white frock from her own clothing line, COLOUR. The eccentric gown features a sequin bodice and peplum detailing, sheer panels and an elegant train. She’s just so gorgeous, it’s hard not to love this!

2) Meagan Good in Lorena Sarbu

Actress Meagan Good was also on hand for the 2016 BET Awards. The stunning 34-year old uplifted an emerald green Lorena Sarbu number that boasts a sky-high slit, a plunging neckline and double side cut-outs. She added a bit of spice to her look by incorporating shimmering metallic platforms, a berry lip and beautiful long faux locs. Hot!

3) Christina Milian in Lexi Clothing

R&B songbird Christina Milian has been killing it lately, no? The fashionista served major face while attending GQ’s 10th Annual Love, Sex and Madness Issue Party alongside a few of Tinseltown’s finest including John Legend, Chrissy Teigen and bestie Karrueche Tran. Christina turned heads as she flaunted a little shoulder in a strapless, gold ruffle dress by Lexi Clothing, patent leather pumps and an embellished clutch. Cute!

4) First Lady Michelle Obama in Altuzarra

Our First Lady Michelle Obama, the First Daughters Sasha and Malia and the FLOTUS’s mother Marian Shields Robinson traveled to Morocco earlier this week to promote the Let Girls Learn initiative which motivates young girls to attain a quality education to ensure that they reach their full potential. For the occasion, the lovely ladies attended the traditional Iftar dinner with Princess Lalla Salma, Meryl Streep and other members of the Moroccan royal family. Our fashionable First Lady chose to rock a flowy Altuzarra Fall 2016 scarf print dress, patent leather pumps and dainty curls. I’m here for it all!

5) Janelle Monae in Sass and Bide

2016+BET+Awards+Arrivals-janelle-monae-sass-bide

Janelle Monae shut it down at the 2016 BET Awards! The songstress delivered one of the most energetic (and memorable) performances of the evening as she belted out “I Would Die For You”, “Kiss” and “Pop Life” in the highly-anticipated Prince tribute. She had the entire audience on their feet grooving to every beat and it was beyond amazing! But, prior to hitting the stage, all eyes were on the style maven as she made her grand entrance in a Sass and Bide striped sequin suit, gold accessories and her signature wide brim hat. Let’s face it, no one can rock black and white like she can. Werk!

6) Taraji P. Henson in Steven Khalil

Taraji-P-Henson-Steven-Khalil-BET-Awards-2016-1

Taraji P. Henson tended to her duties as a presenter for the 2016 BET Awards while slaying in a sheer Steven Khalil embellished pencil skirt, a strapless black bodysuit and delicate ankle strap sandals. While the actress’s choice of attire received mixed reviews via Instagram, she garnered a resounding 10,000 likes! It was clear that our followers were feeling her risky ‘fit and it was easily labeled as one of the evening’s faves. If you ask me, she looks fantastic!

While in Spain to promote her Let Girls Learn initiative, the First Lady took a midday stroll around Zarzuela Palace with Queen Letizia while wearing an $860 Delpozo White Cape-Back Cotton-Blend Matelassé Dress. This cotton-blend matelassé midi dress is designed with a cape-effect cutout back that shows off just the right amount of skin. This pristine white style is finished with side ties and falls to a full skirt, creating a flattering A-line silhouette. The First Lady always manages to exude class and elegance with whatever she wears.  From state dinners to strolls around palaces, Mrs. Obama rarely, if ever, disappoints stylewise.  But at $860, do you think it’s worth the splurge? Well, if you need to channel your inner FLOTUS, you can shop the dress here.  What do you think of Michelle Obama’s daytime ensemble?
