- The 2021 BET Awards were held on Sunday at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California.
- Stars including Lil Nas X, Zendaya, and Megan Thee Stallion all attended in daring outfits.
- Cardi B wore a bold jumpsuit with a sheer panel that revealed her baby bump.
Zendaya channeled Beyoncé in a purple-and-green gown at the BET Awards, while Lil' Kim wore standout accessories.
The actor's dress was actually a vintage design from Versace. Stylist Law Roach coordinated the look, and Zendaya revealed on Instagram that the outfit was inspired by Beyoncé wearing the same dress during her first performance of "Crazy in Love."
Lil' Kim wore a Dolce & Gabbana jacket that cascaded to the floor, as well as strappy sandals and layers of necklaces that almost entirely covered her top.
Lil Nas X wore two outfits for the event's red carpet. First, he donned a suit-style dress.
The blue-and-white Andrea Grossi design had a corset-style top with a plunging neckline that revealed his chest, as well as a suit-style jacket. Both pieces were worn above a full skirt made from the same printed fabric.
The musician's two outfits were both styled by Hodo Musa.
He then wore a bedazzled suit with a floral print, sparkling details, and flare pants.
The cream-colored suit was created by Richard Quinn. It had pink and red roses embroidered from top to bottom, and rows of sequins and pearls that were arranged in the shapes of hearts and leaves.
Cardi B revealed she's pregnant onstage by wearing a bedazzled jumpsuit with a sheer panel over her baby bump.
Her black, sleeveless look had a scooped neckline and was encrusted with large crystals from top to bottom. Cardi B also donned matching boots, and wore her hair in a straight and long style.
Saweetie looked stunning in a purple-and-gold outfit with a train that extended across the red carpet.
Designed by Dolce & Gabbana, the outfit featured sparkling gold straps that connected to two rows of purple mesh that extended to the floor. Saweetie also wore a thin purple bra and a sheer purple skirt with a thick gold band across her waist.
Wilford Lenov styled the daring ensemble.
Megan Thee Stallion arrived in a white gown with bold slits on each side.
The dress, which had bedazzled straps across her shoulders and hips, was custom-made for her by Jean Paul Gaultier. She wore it with sparkling sandals, diamond jewelry, and a white clutch.
Ciara opted for a sparkling jumpsuit that perfectly matched her shoes.
Her Alexandre Vauthier outfit had long sleeves, a scoop-style neckline, and formfitting pants that she tucked into her pointed, bedazzled boots. Maeve Reilly styled the musician.
Latto chose a neon gown, pink gloves, and sky-high heels for the event.
Her single-strap dress had a slit across its bodice that revealed sequins placed along the musician's chest. The gown also had a high-low skirt that fanned out behind her and showcased her platform heels.
H.E.R. wore see-through pants with a daring blazer.
Not only was her Giorgio Armani blazer covered in sparkles, but it also had a plunging neckline. Her sheer pants were even more daring and had sparkling stripes in a plaid-style design.
Of course, H.E.R. paired the ensemble with her signature sunglasses and wavy hair.
Chloe Bailey wore a bikini underneath a fishnet-style overlay.
Her sheer dress with black ruffles, as well as her undergarments, were designed by Valentino. She paired the look with black sandals and an updo hairstyle.
Coi Leray paired low-rise cargo pants with a bralette-style top that showed her tattoos.
Both her asymmetrical orange top and green pants were designed by Venus Prototype. She was styled by Benji Carlisle.
Summer Walker arrived in a mesh gown with long sleeves.
The baby-blue design was almost entirely see-through. It had capped long sleeves, sheer panels across its ruched skirt, and a short train. Sergio DV Robinson designed the dress.
Sevyn Streeter walked the red carpet in a sheer, two-piece set and matching accessories.
Her LA Roxx outfit included a halter-style bralette, fingerless gloves, a sparkling cap, and a see-through, floor-length skirt with a large jewel attached underneath her stomach.
Streeter was styled by Deonte' "DeO" Nash.
Kayykilo also wore a see-through dress for the BET Awards.
The Marie Janae dress had an asymmetrical neckline, a hip-high slit, and a single long sleeve. Kayykilo wore it with a diamond necklace, see-through pumps, and a bedazzled handbag.
However, the dress wasn't as see-through as you might think — there seems to have been a nude panel across her chest underneath the gown's silver fabric.
Actress KJ Smith wore a see-through gown that was covered in rows of sparkles.
Her Yousef Al Jasmi dress had short sleeves, a high neckline, and a formfitting skirt that reached the floor. On Instagram, Smith said she was styled by Neissa Diabate.
