The BET Awards this year seemed to be a celebration for the late legend, Prince. While I enjoyed soulful performances that paid tribute to such an icon, something felt different about the event. Maybe not enough celebrities showed up? Considering it's usually like a reunion for Hollywood black folks, I was slightly disappointed. Thank God for Beyonce's quick surprise appearance. Out of the small amount of guests that walked the carpet at the summer-time award show , a list of them had pretty stylish looks. Here are my favorites:

Zuri Hall wore chic separates baring lots of skin!

Actress Tia Mowry-Hardrict  posed in a mini Robert Cavalli frock along side her husband Cory who rocked a suave tux. 

In a showstopping hue, singer Mya played no games.

Donning her classic monochromatic combo, Janelle Monae opted for a shimmery pant suit.

Yara Shahidi glistened in the spotlight as well.... This time in a colourful number. 

Hot on the scene! Megan Good somehow fired up the carpet wearing green!

Latoya Luckett followed suit in a similarly tasteful floor length gown.

What a summer event without the jumpsuit? Host Rocsi Diaz slayed the trend in an embroidered piece.

Taraji P. Henson fashionably accepted an award for the night dressed in a beautiful Steven Khalil design.

Eva Marcille arrived in a playful short shift by Yaz Couture pairing it with laced up Aquazurra platform sandal heels.

Karrueche Tran went the edgy route in a figure hugging black dress crafted with gold buttons which complemented her gold accessories. 

Coupled up in perfect outfits! Tank and Zena Foster looked cool for the summer in white garments.

Athough I wouldn't pick this spectacular selection for the BET Awards, I can't deny how stunning Nandi Mngoma looked in it. 

Black and white.... or even something close! These beauties mastered it!

Host Terrence J. raised the bar high for the men with three dapper suit changes. 

These additional males didn't shy away from fashion either.....

Talk about performance-wear! Jennifer Hudson sang the famous hit "Purple Rain" in a hooded white blazer dress.... Usher pumped up the crowd in a politically motivated top stating "Don't Trump America" which I totally approved of and Queen Bey did it for me in a lovely embellished bodysuit.

I expected to gush over the BET awards a bit more but somehow I couldn't.... All in all, I just HAD to cover this event.... especially for the culture.
