Gabrielle Union
The Being May Jane star was all for hot pink back in 2002. The actress wore a deep V-neck dress with a swaying hemline paired with silver heels. Mrs. Wade was fierce back then and today!
Garcelle Beauvais
Someone turned up the heat for BET's 2003 award show! The then Jamie Foxx Show star served major looks in this red halter dress. Looking at the jeweled bow on her neck and those stunning gold heels, we can bet money all eyes were on Garcelle that year.
Janet Jackson
Leave it to a musical icon to show you how to do white right! The 2004 BET Awards were graced with this beauty's elegant style and fabulous curves in this flowing bodycon maxi gown.
Michelle Williams
Let's be honest: No one does style like a member of Destiny's Child. The singer came to the 2006 BET Awards looking like a sparkling trophy herself in this sexy-golden Bradley Bayou dress paired with gold heels and a tiny clutch.
Beyoncé
We've been gushing over Queen Bey's style since 2007. The mega-star made sure every twist and turn came with a sparkle in this shimmering corset dress.
Rihanna
Bad Gal Riri was all about color back in 2008. This canary-yellow Giambattista Valli ruffled dress was the start of many daring looks to come from the pop star. The diva shinned bright like a diamond that year at the BET Awards.
Beyoncé
Legs! Legs! Legs! We've got a feeling this floral sequined mini dress is what got the Bey-Hive started. The queen herself killed the 2009 BET Awards in this multi-colored mosaic Balmain design paired with pointed purple heels.
Kerry Washington
A total vision in yellow! The Scandal star turned heads at the 2011 BET Awards in this fluorescent Michael Kors gown with a rather "scandalous" thigh-high slit.
Kerry Washington
Floral never looked so good! This perfect summer look by Washington was a hit at the 2014 BET Awards. The actress wore a fluffed mini dress from Dolce & Gabbana paired with white pumps. Who needs a flower when you're wearing the garden?
Zendaya
In 2015, the young star sparkled the night away in this Nicolas Jebran button-down dress and took a step on the wild side with this stylish pixie cut. The actress was serving major retro-diva looks that year.
Janelle Monaè
No optical illusions here! The singer was truly one of the best dressed celebs at the 2016 show. The star wore a Sass & Bide two-piece suit, Jennifer Fisher earrings and Le Vian rings. It's safe to say stripes are definitely her thing.
Jada Pinkett Smith
Nothing but pure glamour and glitz came from the actress' 2017 look. The Alexandre Vauthier Couture gown was sequined from top to bottom in a halter style fashion, ending in a golden train to give you life! Mrs. Smith didn't steal the show; she was the show.
Issa Rae
The Insecure star could teach us a thing or two about channeling our inner queen. Rae arrived to the 2017 show rocking a jumbo braid, daring blue eyeliner and a hot-pink lip. Perfect combo for her multi-colored open-knit Balmain blazer paired with fitted-black shorts and black heels.
Jhene Aiko
The singer brought a laid-back feel to the 2017 awards in this patterned-silk Restless Sleepers dress. Aiko went for a nude and simple look with a touch of sexy with her side slit. Jhene shows us how to be comfy and cute.
Justin Skye
Blending in isn't a bad thing according to the pop singer. Just take a flesh-tone bustier and some metallic fabrics and you're sure to be the hottest thing on the red carpet. The self-styled singer was a hit at the 2017 award show.
