It really took a full year of no red carpets for us to appreciate the joy and splendor of watching other people get dressed and walk across a piece of fabric in the middle of the day and now that we know what we’ve got, let’s never let it go. Sunday night was the BET Awards and the stars were out in full technicolor for a night of performances, pregnancy reveals, and sexy pharaohs in skirts. We’re not worthy!

Thank goodness someone rescued H.E.R from that Old Navy commercial she’s been trapped in and dressed her in what I can only assume is a pantsuit mullet.

Quite a few celebrities have gone out wearing this latest arts and craft project from Versace and frankly, I still don’t get the appeal. Taraji deserves better.

Everything from the waist down is some real hot girl shit but the cone bra? Not sure about the return of that trend.

I’m trying to find something nice to say out of respect for a legend but what is there to say? The Dolce and Gabbana accessory room threw up on Lil Kim and decided to call that an outfit. Yall really couldn’t even get her some properly fitting shoes? Lil Kim deserves better.

If your auntie with the super dramatic bedroom curtains that can never be touched ever decided to do something with that fabric this would be the result. The fit of this dress, however, is absolutely amazing.

This immaculate gown is by designer Andrea Grossi and after this, no one else is allowed to dress Lil Nas X for carpets unless they can match the level of this gown.

Saweetie’s dramatic ensemble makes her look like she’s about to grant me three wishes, but she’s going to make sure I suffer for each wish. Seems like a fair deal to me.

Sources are telling me this is not a snow owl but Lil Kim in an all-white Prada ensemble. My apologies to the snow owl community.
