You know black people really bring the ‘SOUL’ to soulful, and the BET Soul Train Awards was a prime example of this energy and excitement. In Los Angeles, some of the brightest stars came together to celebrate the best in Hip-Hop and R&B.
Host Keke Palmer stole the show in a black Versace mini dress and black stiletto pumps. She looked lighter, almost as if a burden had been lifted, likely a reflection of her recent breakup with Darius Jackson, whom she accused of domestic violence. Her radiant glow and beautiful blonde hair caught everyone’s attention.
Keke wasn’t the only one rocking black at the awards. Actress and model Serayah brought the drama, heat, and sex appeal in a black lace and velvet Christian Cowan dress. The dress, with its deep v-neck and long train, highlighted her hourglass figure and added a touch of romance.
Singer Janelle Monae, 37, was another standout. She received the “Spirit of Soul” award in a vibrant, sequined Christopher John Rogers dress. Her look was completed with a black embellished choker necklace and a sharp bob haircut.
On the men’s side, R&B singer Eric Bellinger turned heads in a fall green $1,120 Saint Mxxxxxx eyelash sweater with “Saint” boldly written on it. He paired it with black nylon cargo pants, pointy-toe loafers, and a diamond pyramid necklace, making him a trendsetter of the night.
Speaking of trends, chocolate brown is in this season, and Coco Jones nailed it in a Hershey brown Jean Louis Sabaji leather maxi dress with gold zipper details. Her brown rhinestone bandeau top added extra glam, complementing her chic updo hairstyle perfectly.
From iconic silhouettes and vibrant colors to sequins and leather, celebrities showed up at the BET Soul Train Awards in some of the most fashion-forward looks, making the event a true spectacle to remember.
