It’s been a minute, but this week’s Show Stopper is Alicia Keys at the 2009 BET Awards. While most of the ladies did it up very flashy, or fleshly, Alicia kept it soft, simple and stunning wearing this green sequined Jenny Packham dress.
Alicia glowed on the red carpet and on stage when she received BET’s 2009 Humanitarian Award winner for her work in the charity she co-founded, Keep A Child Alive. Keys’ appearance on the BET Awards Show Sunday night also reportedly raised more than $130,000 from more than 26,000 mobile donors who texted their donations. Now that’s a real show stopper…

“My entire family wanted to be here tonight, but it was just too painful. So they elected me to speak with all of you.
