The BET Awards Were A Showcase Of The Best At-Home Fashion

Amidst a pandemic, the 2020 BET Awards took place on Sunday night with virtual performances and acceptance speeches. For its 20th anniversary, the award ceremony, hosted by Amanda Seales, set the bar at an all-time high for award shows to come, with a powerful speech by Beyoncé, who was awarded the 2020 Humanitarian Award by none other than former (and present in our hearts) First Lady Michelle Obama and an emotional performance by Alicia Keys.

There were also a number of fashion moments that stood out, from Queen Bey's stunning ensembles in the trailer for her new Disney+ virtual album, Black Is King, to Megan Thee Stallion’s velvet co-ord and Lizzo’s Old Hollywood-esque gown (her second look of the night!), which the artists wore to accept their BET Awards for Best Female Hip Hop Artist and Best Female R&B/Pop Artist, respectively, virtually.

Ahead, we rounded up a list of our favorite style moments from the 2020 BET Awards.

Beyoncé


Originally meant to run alongside The Lion King: The Gift soundtrack, Beyoncé's Black Is King film is more relevant now than ever before. In addition to a very powerful message, the trailer for the film also showcased an array of beautiful fashion, including an ensemble worn by Beyoncé while atop a horse: metallic heels, a horned headpiece, and cow-print dress.

Lizzo (Pt. 1)


Who says you can't wear lingerie to an award show? And while you're at it, drink a tropical cocktail? Every aspect of Lizzo's first look of the night was, without a doubt, "Good As Hell."

Lizzo (Pt. 2)


For her second fashion moment of the night, Lizzo chose a stunning off-the-shoulder custom Mônot gown, in which she graciously accepted her award for Best Female R&B/Pop Artist of the Year.

Alicia Keys


For her performance of the song "Perfect Way To Die," that honored the lives lost at the hands of police violence, Alicia Keys wore a long black leather trench coat, paired with a crop top, hoop earrings, and matching leather pants styled by Jason Bolden.

Amanda Seales


Amanda Seales proved last night that award show hosts are essential — but only if you pick the right one. Seales, styled by Bryon Javar, wore a total of 13 looks — all of which were designed by Black designers — over the course of the night.

Megan Thee Stallion


Megan Thee Stallion's BET look was the subject of every viewer's "Fever" dream last night. How could it — it being an ultra-sexy velvet co-ord — not be?

Chloe x Halle


Powerhouse duo Chloe x Halle debuted their latest hit from the Ungodly Hour album with a visually stunning performance, which featured a number of looks, all of which were styled by Zerina Akers, who is also Beyoncé's stylist, and designed by TLZ L'FEMME. From all-black latex ensembles to tracksuits made of 3M reflective fabric, this video is fashion at its finest.
