Usher turns heads in his casually cool look while Taraji P. Henson goes for the gold

The 2024 BET Awards are celebrating Black excellence!

Before the night kicked off at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles with live performances, tributes and trophies galore, the hottest in the biz hit the carpet to shine in their designs.

While Usher kept it semi-casual in a suit jacket and jeans, Taraji P. Henson glowed in gold, and sisters Chl?e and Halle Bailey rocked two takes on the halter gown.

Check out every best dressed star, ahead.

Taraji P. Henson

2024 BET Awards host Taraji P. Henson came through dripping in a floor-skimming gold gown embellished with chains (which matched her necklace) and tassels, and a coordinating gilded manicure.

Usher

The event's Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Usher (who's also up for four awards) brought his fashion A-game to the ceremony in a cream suit jacket, white button down and denim and a vintage 18K yellow gold Piaget watch sourced by Analog:Shift — plus his signature shades.
