A break from SS17.
Sunday saw the music industry’s finest come together for the BET awards. Beyonce and Bryson Tiller were the big winners on stage but who took it home on the red carpet?
#PAUSEorSKIP?
Young Thug
PAUSE: Young Thug kept it characteristically cool in ice blue tailoring, white socks and glitterball brogues.
Colin Tilley
PAUSE: The award winning video director went for an all distressed look in a burnout tee, shredded jeans and A Bathing Ape hooded jacket.
Fonzworth Bentley
SKIP: While well coordinated with his wife, Faune Alecia Chambers, this gaudy look missed the mark for the usually dapper dresser.
Schoolboy Q
SKIP: The artist played it very safe in denim and Converse.
French Montana
PAUSE: Kicking off the series of white-centric looks, French looked sharp in an embroidered kurta and Android Homme boots.
Brandon T. Jackson
PAUSE: All right in all white.
Jacob Latimore
SKIP: Latimore’s white look wasn’t quite as fresh as the other contenders with his black chelsea boots at odds with his fitted white denim and dress shirt.
PAUSE: The Nigerian rapper won big on the night and also killed it in his dressed down monochrome suiting.
2 Chainz
PAUSE: Although maybe an offbeat choice for LA in June, 2 Chainz rocked his shearling lined, embroidered Gucci trucker.
Anthony Hamilton
SKIP: Hamilton nearly nailed this look but the clash of utility details against the quilted gold didn’t really work. Too much going on.
Desiigner
PAUSE: Orange, black and gold in clean lines was a good shout for the Panda star who kept it simple and stylish.
Keith Powers
SKIP: This bold red (carpet) look could’ve been transformed by a different footwear call. Great tonal blocking though.
Ro James
SKIP: So the jacket and lid come with the car?
Jidenna
PAUSE: The singer brought colour to the carpet in shades of green and fresh Nigerian print.
