2008 BET AWARDS - FASHION ROUNDUP
Wednesday, June 25, 2008

Well with our wrap up of the 2008 BET Awards coming to a close…you know we got to end it off with the fashion. Lots of bright color trends popped up on the red carpet at this year’s event - one color being yellow.
Of course, we saw Rihanna rocking it in her Giambattista Valli ruffle gown. Keyshia Cole did the same in a bright yellow bubble mini dress. Trina showed off the color in a simple frock and carried the new Louis Vuitton Murakami Monogramouflage Speedy…

Another popular color on the red carpet was pink - worn by Alicia Keys (in David Meister mini dress & Sergio Rossi heels), Cassie, and Chrisette Michele…

Purple is a favorite color of mine because its such a royal color - and it seemed to be a favorite for Nia Long, Solange, and Lil Kim who all wore the color at the awards show. Lil Kim rock’d purple Louis Vuitton accessories thanks to her good friend designer Marc Jacobs…

Though there was a lot of color of the carpet, Toccara, Ashanti (in Marchesa), and >Kid Sister all opted to keep it basic with black. All three ladies looked great in their black gowns…
POPULAR SHOE DESIGNER AT THE AWARDS?…

Well other than seeing lots of Gucci worn during the show…many ladies rock’d Givenchy Spring 2008 shoes including Lauren London, and Tionne “T’Boz” Watkins - both wearing the Open toed bootie…

Rihanna wore her tall up the leg $1700 Givenchys onstage while performing Take A Bow - she kept with her ruffle theme as well, but a little gothed out this time…

And though I don’t have a best pick for the ladies, I do think some of these fellas did quite well in the fashion department. My favorite was Kirk Franklin…

And we know Diddy had the suit game on lock…but John Legend and Ne-Yo did their stylin’ thing as well…

Luv Ri Ri, Keyshia, Alicia, Chrisette, Solange, Nia n Kid Sister’s Dresses. Don’t Like Cassie’s, it looks like a strechted out jersey turtleneck. Trina’s is okay. It’s real simple, but the color is popin. It shows off her legs, which may not have been the best idea. I think she should have gone with a dress that is a deep v neck spaghetti strap or strapless to show off her bust. Not really feelin ashanti’s black number, or tocarra’s. Nia, I think she should have gone with a brighter purple, or even white. she has a beautiful creamy complexion, and that purple makes her look bland. Everytime i c chrisette i always look at her eyes, cuz her cut makes them pop so much. big ups. Lauren should have kept dat bob, cuz the weave is lookin kinda stringy/greasy/worn out/just dont look nice period. TBoz should NOT have worn that dress with those shoes. Her dress shoulda been shorter, like knee lentgh and above. and Ri Ri just keep lookin thicker everyday.
u kno my sis was tellin me her new tat with the roman numerals is for a special female in her life, and dat she wanna have a lindsey lohan relationship. I.E. she’s curious!!! WOW! I guess chris was just not givin her wat she want/need.
Onto the men:
Kirk i luv u, and good to see dat ur slim, but it’s TOO TIGHT. Sharp, but TIGHT.
John is lookin smooth suited up.
Ne-Yo is alright. It’s not screaming look at me. more like hey wassup. he shoulda not worn white shoes, maybe a tan, chocolate or whiskey color woulda been better.
Chris and Ursh look “fly” as usual. they prolly shoulda dressed up a lil more. like a blazer maybe, button down, then the fly jeans?
diddy is watever. I seen him in dat suit b4

Sorry Guys but Rhianna needs some of of “wet looks lip tube” isht on instead of the :night of the living dead” lip colour….it was HORRIBLE such a huge contradt from her bright summer fashion….
**NOTE** couture is NOT meant to be worn with everyday items. some things looks great together and others don’t (Rhiana’s stylist - please take note)
i think keyshia was having an OFF night, hated kim’s lacefront…kinda like beyonce meets ….i dunno…
Nia Long classic beauty. Cassie shouldn’t have hemmed that dress up like tht…HATED IT. Toccarra’s dress was short of disastrous! Soory boo!
Ashanti get it together it’s NOT 1930 so please FIRE that stylist and get whomever you had for the video - they way i love you….best you’ved looked thus far!

yes yellow is my color of the summer,i’ve started rocking that color alot,it works with my skin color well..lol
i kept seeing keyshia on the red carpet and didnt even know that was her lol,until right this minute….cuz when she performed she had the curly hair…i think she looked pretty all that day though (even tho her performance lacked) she stepped her fashion game wayy up
lil kims purse is now in my dreams every night lol….it was gawjus!
chris did look nice,and so did kirk
i’m sorry i wasnt feeling rihannas tim burton dresses…NO!
trina looked pretty
cassie looked stupid to me,i mean she is a pretty girl she didnt have to wear a shirt,she could pull off alot of things lol
lauren looked……..the same,cute girl tho
alicia looked cute but we all know this girlie girl glamorous look isnt quite her,idk it just…….isnt her thing
ashanti looked a bit…..much,and her legs are big (like alicia keys) so i dont think that dress was for her,but she is pretty nonetheless
toccara….she looked pretty but i felt like she was jockin off keyshia just my opinion
kid sista looked re-gu-la lol
solanges hair and purse pissed me off,she has been looking fierce lately and it made me mad to see her looking crazy,i didnt like it at all
nia was flawless

I swear I would like to see how these people that are going on everybody really dress, and what they would wear to these types of shows. I feel like so many people are so used to basic styles that they get nervous when they see some originality in other peoples style.
But I like Cassies outfit. (it fits her). I also Love puple, so I love the purple dresses that were worn (especially Nia L., she is tight) I like RiRi’s yellow dress and lipsick because it contrasts well. and I like the way Trina’s dress fits on her (she got some bomb legs). I like L. London’s outfit (it is simple and cute). I also like Ciara’s performance outfit with Chris Brown.
For the males i like John Ledgend and Kirk Franklin the best.

and also, Ashanti’s pic right here doesn’t do her justice becaue she looked bomb when she presented that award. I think she looked really nice.

OK I love yellow and I had thought I liked rihanna in that gown when I saw it earlier but the color is not flattering on any of them, at least in those shots. I give her props for taking a chance and picking an edgy look, it’s too easy to play it safe these days with the stylists making sure they always look picture perfect.

Ummm Trina you should have came better than that. . . its an award show, not the club
Lil Kim, leave the plastic surgery to the low esteem white women.
Keyshia, if you are gonna go toward more of a high fashion couture type vibe. . . WEAR IT, not just wear it. . . her swag ain’t there for it yet
Toccara is my girl, but who was in charge of fitting you for that dress and steaming it? The hem line is atrocious. . .
Cassie. . do you speak? And if you can, why didn’t you tell your stylist NO?
Diddy looks like a postal worker. . .lol @ that damn suit, he needs a new style.
I loved Lauren and Solange and most def Miss Nia Long(one movie: Love Jones)
