11 of the best and worst looks celebrities wore to the 2025 BET Awards

The 2025 BET Awards were a night to remember.

From performances by stars like Mariah Carey and Lil Wayne to a memorable speech from Doechii, the awards show, which took place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, was full of music and heart.

Actors, musicians, and athletes came together for the celebration, arriving in red-carpet looks designed to stun — but some looks were better than others.

Take a look at some of the best and worst outfits celebrities wore to the 2025 BET Awards.

Keke Palmer dazzled in a vintage Chanel minidress.

Palmer arrived at the awards show in a minidress from Chanel’s 1993 fall collection.

The halter dress was sheer on the bodice, and silver sequins provided Palmer with some coverage. The sequins continued on the navy skirt and tulle train, which puffed out behind her to the mid-calf.

Black, pointed-toe heels completed her sexy and fun look.

Machine Gun Kelly’s yellow top and coordinating tie were too casual.

Keeping it simple on the red carpet isn’t always a bad move, but Machine Gun Kelly’s take on simplicity felt lackluster.

He paired a butter yellow top and matching tie with wide-legged black pants and black shoes. The artist could have made his look stand out more with bolder accessories or a statement jacket.

Mario’s playful ensemble blended fabrics.

Mario’s custom House of Gray ensemble included a tailored olive green blouse with a subtle sheen and patterned pants.

The contrasting patterns blended well, and Mario tied his outfit together with a statement brooch, a silver chain, and sunglasses. He looked glamorous and chic.

The elements of Ciara’s all-black look didn’t work together.

Ciara chose a Cong Tri ensemble for the BET Awards. The look included a black blouse, a miniskirt with layers of fringe and a train, heels laced around her ankles, and a sparkly Braves hat.

The individual pieces of Ciara’s outfit were all stylish, but together, they distracted from each other. The top and hat might have worked better with a pair of trousers rather than the bold skirt.

T.I.’s blue suit would have been great with different accessories.

T.I.’s powder blue suit from Hideoki Bespoke had a stripe of textured beige fabric across the jacket. He wore a white shirt under the jacket with no tie, and he paired brown boots with the look.

The jacket’s stripe should have been the focal point of the look, but the boots and lack of tie detracted from it. A tie that matched the stripe or lighter shoes could have brought it all together.

Doechii looked effortlessly chic in a Miu Miu set.

Doechii’s stylish red set featured a bandana top and a low-waisted, pleated skirt that flared around her knees. Both had gold trim on the hem, and the top was embossed with “Miu Miu” in the same color.

The “Anxiety” singer completed the outfit with a chained belt, chunky bracelets, brown sunglasses, and purple-flower-adorned heels.

Snoop Dogg’s monochromatic ensemble was stylish.

Snoop Dogg wore a bright blue outfit that coordinated with his wife’s look.

The outfit featured a knee-length jacket, a blue top, loose-fitting pants, sneakers, and even blue sunglasses. It was put-together and stylish without feeling overly extravagant.

There was too much going on in Cam Newton’s floral outfit.

Newton’s fitted silver vest and pants were embroidered with colorful flowers. He wore the vest with no shirt and rolled his pants, and he accessorized the colorful look with green loafers, a polka-dot green neck scarf and tie, and an olive-green hat.

The vest and pants were pretty, but Newton’s styling didn’t let them shine. His various green accessories clashed and distracted from each other, and he could have emphasized the floral pieces better with fewer, more neutral accessories.

Ryan Destiny looked ethereal in a silver gown.

Styled by Law Roach, Destiny walked the BET red carpet in a silver Loewe gown.

The gown’s silky fabric was billowing and ruched, but the dress also had some structured detailing, like a pointed neckline and a cinched waist.

Gray pumps and silver jewelry completed the sleek and feminine ensemble.

Tyler Perry arrived in a fashion-forward take on a tuxedo.

Perry’s Louis Vuitton look included wide-legged pants, a white blouse, a black bow tie, and a patterned jacket.

The jacket was a fun alternative to a traditional suit. It had a zipper, a sparkly zig-zag pattern, and the LV logo on the chest.

With statement sunglasses to complete it, Perry’s outfit was both classic and fashion-forward.

GloRilla looked daring and chic at the BET Awards.

The hatler bodice of GloRilla’s black dress had tie fastenings that created crisscross cutouts down the center.

Structured ruching on the waist spilled into a skirt with a thigh-high slit on one side. The slit spotlighted GloRilla’s heels, which laced up her calves and coordinated with the dress.

The classic silhouette contrasted with the modern cutouts, creating a balanced look.
