The BET Awards red carpet knows what excellence looks like.

Over the past 19 years, the award show has been grace with some iconic moments from Destiny’s Child. In the finest House of Deréon fashions to Janelle Monáe’s rainbow-coloured fantasy.

The stars went full glam on the carpet this year ahead of the show at Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday night. Dripping in jaw-dropping looks fit for a runway.

Hosted by “Girl’s Trip” and “Black Monday” star Regina Hall for the first time. This year’s ceremony is set to be one for the ages with Cardi B leading the nominations into the ceremony with seven nods. Including female hip-hop artist and album of the year.

Drake, Travis Scott, J. Cole and Beyoncé could also win big, but only time will tell if the queen herself. The most decorated artist in BET Awards history ― will make the award show a homecoming after skipping the ceremony the past two years.

The most popular group at Sunday night’s BET Awards has never had a record deal.

The men, who as boys were known as the Central Park Five, took the stage to introduce Grammy Award-winning singer H.E.R.

Kevin Richardson, Antron McCray, Raymond Santana, Korey Wise and Yusef Salaam are now known as the Exonerated Five. And they received a standing ovation.

Their story was the basis of the Netflix limited series “When They See Us,” which dramatize their experiences of being wrongly convicted in a 1989 rape case in New York.
The show has to stoke strong feelings about how they were mistreated, subsequent struggles and eventual exoneration.
