The 2022 BET Awards - hosted by Taraji P. Henson - brought out the industry’s biggest stars to celebrate Black excellence in music, acting, sports and entertainment. We noticed this year's carpet went dark - tons of sexy dark colors, feathers and cutouts.
Of course the hottest songstress out right now would make a grand entrance.
