Red Carpet Rundown: Fashion Is Front & Center At The 2025 BET Awards – See Looks We Love
Source: Getty / Getty The 2025 BET Awards – aka Culture's Biggest Night – went down tonight, June 9, and as expected the red carpet the absolute most (in the best way). Before any awards were handed out, the fashion set the tone – and it was everything. The BET Awards Kick Off In Black Tie Fashion This year marks a major shift for the ceremony: the BET Awards rolled out an official Black Tie theme for the first time ever. Yes, you read that right – Culture's Biggest Night has a dress code. With Harlem's Fashion Row tapped to help shape the night's visual identity, guests took the cue and showed out with glamorous gowns, sharp suiting, and editorial-level drama from head to toe. Hosted by Kevin Hart , tonight's show promises unforgettable moments, a nostalgic 106 & Park reunion, and a stacked lineup of performances from Teyana Taylor, Lil Wayne, GloRilla, Playboi Carti, and Leon Thomas. Kendrick Lamar leads the pack with 10 nominations, while Doechii, Drake, GloRilla, and Future came through with six. In true BET tradition, the show makes space to honor icons. Mariah Carey, Jamie Foxx, Snoop Dogg, and Kirk Franklin are all Ultimate Icon recipients. BET Awards Red Carpet Fashion: Keke Palmer Sparkles Big Boss Keke Palmer stepped into the spotlight with a smile and a little black dress that did anything but play it safe.

The Grammy-winner rocked a bold red two-piece Miu Miu set featuring a bandeau-style top and asymmetrical skirt with gold trim. Her midriff was on full display, and she brought the drama with chunky hoop earrings, stacks on stacks of wooden and amber-toned bangles, and a statement grommet belt that oozed vintage. Source: Getty / Getty Her braids were long and sleek, styled with laid baby hairs and a side part for extra attitude. Bronze-glow makeup, glossy lips, and tinted sunnies sealed the look. BET Awards Red Carpet Fashion: Ciara Reps For The 'A' Ciara gave us high-low perfection in a Black Cong Tri fit that blended streetwear with full-on glam. She wore a black leather button-up with rolled sleeves tucked into a feathered mini skirt with a dramatic, trailing fringe.

Naomi Campbell allegedly banned from Met Gala due to fallout with Anna Wintour
Naomi Campbell is reportedly not attending the 2025 Met Gala following a breakdown in relations with Vogue's editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour. The decision comes after a public exchange between the pair at a fashion event last year. Campbell has long been a Met Gala fixture and appeared on 66 Vogue covers during her career. However, her absence from this year's guest list has raised questions across the fashion world. Sources close to the event suggest that the supermodel's on-stage comments directed at Wintour in 2024 may have prompted the exclusion. The feud reportedly began during New York Fashion Week at the Harlem's Fashion Row ceremony, where Wintour referred to Campbell's well-known lateness while presenting. 'I am a very punctual person,' Wintour said to the crowd, 'and I have the honour of presenting tonight to someone who is often late.' Campbell, who arrived significantly after the event started, missed Wintour's segment entirely, leaving Harper's Bazaar editor Samira Nasr to present her award instead. In her acceptance speech, Campbell responded, 'It wasn't my choice to have the other lady, I'd much rather have this one,' a comment that reportedly did not sit well with Wintour. A source told The Sun, 'Naomi shot herself in the stiletto with that comment. You don't throw shade at the queen of fashion and still expect to walk her red carpet.' Although Campbell has since claimed she was stepping back from the Met Gala due to age and stress, saying in a recent YouTube video, 'It is my last. I'm too old. It's too much for me, the anxiety,' insiders suggest her absence is far from voluntary. This year's gala, themed 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' takes place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with co-chairs including Colman Domingo, Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, and LeBron James.

Naomi Campbell 'banned from Met Gala' after brutal swipe at Dame Anna Wintour
Naomi Campbell left onlookers stunned when she took a public swipe at Dame Anna Wintour last year but the comment appears to have left the fashion icon furiour Dame Anna Wintour has reportedly "banned" supermodel Naomi Campbell from attending the Met Gala again. The move is believed to have set tongues wagging after a brutal swipe from the iconic star last year. While Naomi, 54, is one of the most successful supermodels, it appears Dame Anna hasn't forgotten her comments. Last year, London-born Naomi took a very public swipe at the Met boss while receiving an award at Harlem's Fashion Row's Fashion Show and Style Awards. After Dame Anna, 75, appeared to playfully joke about Naomi attending on time, the supermodel wasted no time in sharing what was on her mind. But the comments have apparently left a lasting impression and Dame Anna is keen to remind people who "runs the show." Sources claim that the Condé Nast chief content officer hasn't forgotten what was said. "Naomi shot herself in the stiletto with that comment," a source said. They went on to say: "You don't throw shade at the queen of fashion and still expect to walk her red carpet. Anna doesn't forget - or forgive. It's no coincidence. If Anna wants you out, you're out. Simple as that." Speaking to The Sun, they added: "Naomi's been a Met staple for decades, so her absence from the list hasn't gone unnoticed. Everyone's whispering - and it's Anna's way of reminding who runs the show." But just last week, Naomi disclosed in a YouTube video that last year's gala would be her last. In a video shared with her 533,000 subscribers, she said: "This is my last Met," she said as she gave fans a glimpse into her preparation for the 2024 event. The mother-of-two was seemingly mocked by her assistants who commented: "Famous last words." But Naomi appeared certain she won't attend again. She added: "It is my last Met! I can't, I'm too old. It's too much for me - the anxiety. I don't know what number this is for me, I think it could be number 20 or 21. Can you imagine?" Last September, Naomi received recognition and was handed the Fashion Icon Award and was introduced by Dame Anna. However, the former Vogue editor appeared to make light of Naomi's punctuality during her introduction speech. She said: "I am a very punctual person, and I have the honour of presenting tonight to someone who is often late," before praising Naomi saying she was "bold, bright and entirely, unquestionably herself." Shortly after Dame Anna's comments, the editor of Harper's Bazaar, Samira Nasr introduced Naomi again as she gave a short speech. Appearing on stage, Naomi laughed: "Yes, Naomi's always late." She added: "But I believe in my high power and I want to thank my higher power for having me be here." The 54-year-old added: "It's so important that I'm here today, and I'm honoured to be here in Harlem." "Everything's going to work out the way it's meant to work out," she said, adding, "it wasn't my choice to have the other lady," as she directed her vision towards Dame Anna. While looking at Samira, Naomi added: "I'd much rather have this, so thank you." Following the comments, social media erupted with fans claiming Naomi's comments would ensure she'd never be invited to the Met Gala again. One X, formerly known as Twitter user wrote: "No more Met Gala invites for Naomi." "I mean she's already been to it 17 times, at this point I'm sure it just feels like another work event," laughed a second. Another commented: "'The other lady', she ain't name no names but them words were pointed!" "Naomi's clapback was legendary—she's never one to let a comment slide, especially when it comes to her time and presence. It seems like she got the last word in with style," commented another.
