Last night’s BET Awards brought out many things: Kanye’s highly anticipated return, Eminem’s surprise performance with B.o.B. and Chris Brown‘s emotional tribute to Michael Jackson. What it did not bring out, though, was dazzling fashion. You name the crazy, and it was there. No pants: Jada Pinkett-Smith; bandeau tops: Cassie; and next to nothing: former Sweet Valley twin Brittany Daniel, continuing this year’s trend in out-there red carpet statements.
Music award shows are famous (or notorious?) for their edgy red carpets. By no means do I expect flouncy dresses or girly ball gowns, but when did dressing in the most jaw-dropping outfits possible become the norm? Is the m.o. now to shock and, at times, horrify?
If celebrities want a real lesson in daring to be different, my advice is to follow Cate Blanchett’s lead. She practically wrote the book on toeing the line between edgy and tasteful.
What did you guys think of the fashion from the BET Awards?

I liked Jada’s outfit and Keri Hilson’s wasnt bad but Cassie’s was horrible.
Jada’s outfit isn’t that bad but those awful cheek implants are.
Yes, but why did Cassie bring a tribble as her date to the BET Awards?
Dont see whats so wacky about the fashion I saw last night.
Was this the BET music award or the Pimp and Ho’s award red carpet?
good 1 am … lol
are you just saying that because they are all black? Racism is still alive!
congrats chris brown! You are back! Just keep your hands to yourself…
Gotta be “Pimps and Ho’s” when it’s a “urban-oriented event right? eff your ignorant azz to am and Jack No-hart!
It would make sense. Pimps & hoes came from the urban environment.
Jada should dress her age. Yuckie mommy.
Cassie and Brittany: Please tell me they don’t have stylists. Or else, two more people are hitting to the unemployment road.
Cassie looked amazing imo. She’s the one with true fashion style. And shes so gorgeous!!
Get a life…
Sorry but Jada’s outfit was horrible and her hair didnt help and i love jada…
this is not cate blanchett people i personally don’t like her taste but i do like what i saw at the bet’s a lot of diversity
jada what were u thinking? with all that money i guess she can do what she wants. and cassie lost her mind from not becoming that official girl,lol! no person is perfect and i guess as long as they were happy with those fits let them be.
