Rowland, Bailey and Taylor Flaunt Bold Black Looks at 2026 BET Awards
On June 28, 2026 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, the BET Awards red carpet was a showcase of striking black and gold ensembles. Olandria Carthen opened the night in a custom canary yellow Theophilio halter gown with a deep neckline, sky-high slit and golden sun embellishment. Kelly Rowland followed, shimmering in a liquid-gold draped halter gown, paired with voluminous curls and crystal-accented jewellery as she presented the Ultimate Icon Award. Chloe Bailey evoked Old Hollywood in a strapless black-and-silver Valdrin Sahiti gown covered in crystals and a vintage-inspired platinum bob. Marsai Martin turned heads in a two-toned Salih Balta gown featuring a leather corset, sheer ruched skirt and lace-trimmed train. Doechii kept it raw in a chocolate brown Dsquared2 crochet gown from the brand’s 2006 archive, while Teyana Taylor closed out the fashion conversation in a sculptural crimson Stéphane Rolland couture gown and matching headpiece as she accepted the Icon of the Year Award.
