Culture’s biggest night has arrived—and so have the stars.
Indeed, Black excellence was on full display on the red carpet at the 2026 BET Awards, the 26th anniversary of the annual event that honors music, film, TV and sports held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles June 28.
Showing off his sleek style, Bow Wow sported a maroon tux paired with a classy black bowtie and matching shoes. His daughter Shai Moss, 15, also joined the Like Mike actor later on the carpet.
For her part, Lizzo dazzled in a sheer brown waterfall gown, which accented her wavy caramel blonde hair that cascaded down to her waist.
Meanwhile, Love Island USA star Amaya Espinal donned a beaded green halter top dress with sheer draping.
Another icon who showed off his fashion prowess on the carpet was Druski, who is hosting this year’s ceremony. And before he sported his maroon suit and matching tie, he emphasized how special it is to host the show.
“I grew up watching the BET Awards,” the comedian said in a statement to Miami Times last month. “To know the comedic legends that hosted before me set the bar so high, I’m just grateful to be a part of the history. But I’m still bringing my brand of comedy to the stage.”
