The BET Awards celebrates the accomplishments of musicians, actors, athletes, and more across diverse entertainment categories. This year, the ceremony looked a little different because of the writer’s strike and no host but if there’s one thing you can count on, it’s head-turning looks from our favorite artists. Guests hit the pink carpet ahead of the ceremony that featured a celebration for the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop, tribute to the late Tina Turner by Patti LaBelle, and the Lifetime Achievement Award received by Busta Rhymes.
