Black people truly imbue ‘SOUL’ into soulful events, and the BET Soul Train Awards in Los Angeles were a vibrant testament to this, celebrating the best of Hip-Hop and R&B with some of the brightest stars in attendance.
Keke Palmer, the evening’s host, dazzled in a black Versace mini dress paired with matching stiletto pumps. Appearing lighter and more radiant, she seemed to be moving past her recent break-up with ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson, whom she accused of domestic violence. Her stunning blonde hair highlighted her glowing features, adding to her refreshed presence.
Joining the theme, actress and model Serayah turned heads on the red carpet in a dramatic black lace and velvet Christian Cowan dress with a deep V-plunge neckline and a flowing train, perfectly complementing her hourglass figure with a touch of romance.
Singer Janelle Monae, known for her bold fashion choices, received the “Spirit of Soul” award in a vibrant Christopher John Rogers dress adorned with exquisite sequin patchwork. Her modern look was enhanced by a black embellished choker and a sharply styled bob haircut.
Representing stylish men on the red carpet, R&B singer Eric Bellinger sported a $1,120 fall green Saint Mxxxxxx eyelash sweater with bold “Saint” lettering, paired with black nylon cargo pants, pointy-toe loafers, and a diamond pyramid necklace, making him a standout.
Highlighting the season’s trend of chocolate brown, Coco Jones stunned in a Hershey brown Jean Louis Sabaji leather maxi dress with gold zipper details and a brown rhinestone bandeau top, complemented by an elegant updo hairstyle.
The BET Soul Train Awards showcased a wide array of fashionable styles, from iconic silhouettes and vibrant colors to sequins and leather, leaving an unforgettable impression.
