BET Awards 2025 WORST dressed list: Taraji P. Henson, GloRilla, and MGK hit red carpet in bizarre looks

BBG News

As a devoted admirer, I had the unfortunate distinction of leading the list of most unconventional fashion choices at the 2025 BET Awards. On the bustling stage of the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles on a turbulent Monday, I made a bold statement by donning an extraordinary, towering 50ft caped gown amidst the heated ICE protests.

In my role as a lifestyle connoisseur, I might rephrase it like this: At the esteemed event recognizing black excellence, I, a 54-year-old Oscar nominee, held a bouquet of roses that seemed to burn with passion. As Teyana Taylor’s performance unfolded, I recited a poem, subtly expressing my personal journey through divorce, imbuing the atmosphere with a touch of sophistication and raw emotion.

Initially, it was just a small flicker that we nurtured with pledges. Our gazes met, “I promise.” It continued harmoniously until a day came when feelings of anger and fury surfaced, as love should not consume everything it encounters, according to Taraji, who often collaborates with stylists Wayman + Micah.

I left the ruins behind, not because my feelings for you have faded, far from it, but because I’ve come to realize that love sometimes demands escape.

As a lifestyle expert, I often seek inspiration from various sources, and Teyana, whom I admire, took a bold step in channeling the iconic look of Katy Perry’s K3P143 costume from her Lifetimes Tour. This striking ensemble was masterfully crafted by designer Zaldy, creating a bulky-looking robot aesthetic that truly stands out.

Initially, it seemed like GloRilla donned a standard white three-piece outfit, tailored by stylist EJ King, particularly for her performance of “Let Her Cook” on stage.

However, instead of hiding it, the 25-year-old rapper (Gloria Hallelujah Woods) decided to show off her unique style by displaying the thonged back of her pants, adorned with corset detailing, on both legs.

Machine Gun Kelly wore a stylish Napoleon Dynamite hairstyle and appeared prepared to serve customers in his bright yellow polo shirt, coordinated tie, and black pants.

Kendrick Lamar styled himself after Little Edie from Grey Gardens, donning a cheerful, knotted baby-blue headscarf during his acceptance of five out of ten nominations, including Album of the Year.

Tisha Campbell matched her deep red hair with a gown designed by Anthony Lattimore, made of oxblood leather and adorned with belts, chosen by stylist J. Bolin.

56-year-old actor, known for “Little Shop of Horrors”, was trying to replicate the black leather belt dress that Gianni Versace designed for his sister Donatella in 1993, a piece which became iconic following Gianni’s death.

Gospel artist Lucinda Moore caught everyone’s attention as she donned a chic black-hooded jacket adorned with cascading white fringe, embellished slim trousers, and eye-catching platform peep-toe shoes – all carefully put together by her own styling efforts.

In simpler terms, despite the stylish attire (Cam Newton wearing a tight, patterned vest and pants), he became somewhat lost amidst the complex background (the intricate print).

The style choices of rappers Kash Doll and ex-Detroit Lion Za’Darius Smith, both wearing brown leather outfits, seemed to take inspiration from Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake’s denim-heavy looks on the American Music Awards red carpet back in 2001.

Dej Loaf adopted a Jaden Smith-like style, donning a distinctive spiked face mask alongside her white suit and loafers.

Marie Wright, originally the first host of BET’s 106 & Park, appeared confined in a strict, gray-and-green corsetted outfit, adorned with an old-fashioned belt that matched the worn corset, chosen by stylist J. Bolin.

As a devoted fan, I couldn’t help but notice that even the stylish Da Brat seemed overly relaxed in her one-of-a-kind Anthony Lattimore duster paired with faded sweats that appeared to have been bleached.

Actress Khadeen Ellis, who is known for her role in Divorce Sistas, and Real Housewives of Atlanta star Drew Sidora each wore a striking mini-dress that added architectural style to their petite figures. Specifically, Khadeen chose a black dress by Le Thanh Hoa, while Drew opted for a silver version of the same design. Both outfits made quite an impression.

Actress Michole Briana White, known for her role on BMF, opted for an intriguing style contrast with a fitted pantsuit chosen by stylist Tiffany Scott-Clemente.

Stylist Quran Smith opted for a Dior by Galliano brocade gown, which covered Kehlani’s tattooed physique in a subtle wash, as the non-binary queer singer chose to wear it.

Three men attending the BET Awards sported uncomfortable and oversized suits; among them were actor Tyrik Johnson from “Lady in the Lake,” rapper Foggieraw, and humorist Druski.
