Due to a Covid-affected world, the BET Awards<\/a> took a different path this year: a digital one. So while there was no red carpet per se, it didn’t stop the stars and nominees putting on a fashion show, turning to Instagram to showcase their looks for the evening.<\/p>\n

For host, comedienne Amanda Seales, a virtual format was not going to rain on her fashion parade, wearing a whopping 13 outfits, and notably, all by black designers. Beyonc\u00e9<\/a>, Lizzo<\/a> and Megan Thee Stallion opted for dramatic black gowns, while Alicia Keys posted a photo of herself clad in tough black leather with a powerful message:<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s so much on our minds and in our hearts! My favorite thing about music is how it reminds us that we\u2019re not alone. This performance for the BET Awards touched me deeply. What did u feel?”<\/span><\/p>\n

A lot. Heartbreaking, empowering, emotional. In the wake of the death of George Floyd<\/a> and the subsequent – and long overdue – racial revolution, Black Lives Matter, the ceremony was more important than ever.<\/p>\n

While there was a much deeper sentiment at play, we can still admire the fashion of these talented, strong, proud black women. Below, some of our favourite fashion moments of the night.<\/p>\n
