Worst dressed stars at BET Awards revealed
Machine Gun Kelly led the worst dressed at the 2025 BET Awards on Monday at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles.
The singer - rocking Napoleon Dynamite curls - looked ready to take someone's order in his preppy pastel yellow shirt, matching necktie, and black trousers.
The father of two also wore bizarre razor blade-style earrings.
Meanwhile Inayah opted for a wrinkled purple set that failed to showcase her incredible figure.
Rapper Kash Doll and former Detroit Lion Za'Darius Smith's brown leather ensembles were clearly inspired by Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake 's denim explosion on the AMAs red carpet in 2001.
Machine Gun Kelly's mismatched look was paired with messy hair and strange looking razor blade inspired earrings.
Inayah's look included two different shades of purple plus metallic hued platform heels - making the look too distracting.
Meanwhile lovebirds Kash and Za'Darius' matching look left much to be desired when it comes to creativity.
Other contenders include Tisha Campbell coordinated her burgundy mane with an oxblood-leather Anthony Lattimore gown covered in belts selected by stylist J. Bolin.
The 56-year-old Little Shop of Horrors alum was attempting to recreate the late Gianni Versace's iconic black-leather belt dress he made for his sister Donatella back in 1993.
Gospel singer Lucinda Moore turned heads in a black-hooded blazer draped with white fringe, embroidered skinny pants, and platform peep-toe heels which she styled herself.
NFL quarterback-turned-podcaster Cam Newton took a big swing with his snug brocade vest and trousers, but was ultimately swallowed by the busy print.
Rapper Dej Loaf pulled a Jayden Smith move by rocking an eccentric spiked face mask with her white pantsuit and loafers.
Free Marie Wright - who was the first host of BET's 106 & Park - looked caged in a grey-and-green corseted creation, belted with a shabby corset, which was selected by stylist J. Bolin.
Rapper Da Brat looked far too casual in a custom Anthony Lattimore duster over bleach-stained sweats.
Divorced Sistas actress Khadeen Ellis' black mini-dress and RHOA star Drew Sidora's silver Le Thanh Hoa mini-dress both overwhelmed their petite frames with architectural flare
Divorced Sistas actress Khadeen Ellis' black mini-dress and RHOA star Drew Sidora's silver Le Thanh Hoa mini-dress both overwhelmed their petite frames with architectural flare.
BMF actress Michole Briana White attempted pattern-clashing in a snug pantsuit selected by stylisy Tiffany Scott-Clemente.
Non-binary queer singer Kehlani's tattooed body was washed out by the archival Dior by Galliano brocade dress selected by stylist Quran Smith.
Three gents at the BET Awards wearing awkward and ill-fitting suits included Lady in the Lake actor Tyrik Johnson, rapper Foggieraw, and comedian Druski.
Taraji P. Henson donned an outlandish, 50ft tall caped gown onstage.
The 54-year-old Oscar nominee clutched a burning bouquet of roses as she delivered a pretentious poem about divorce during Teyana Taylor 's performance at the awards ceremony honoring black excellence.
'It started as a spark and we fed it with promises. Eyes locked, "I do." Until one day, anger and rage, love shouldn't burn everything it touches,' Taraji - who relies on styling duo Wayman + Micah - stated.
'So, I walked away from the wreckage. Not because I stopped loving you, no, but because I finally understood even love is something you must escape.'
Teyana - who relies on stylist Edith Donaldson-Wheeler - transformed into a bulky-looking robot in what appeared to be a direct homage to Katy Perry 's Lifetimes Tour 'K3P143' costume crafted by designer Zaldy.
