Fantasia Barrino shimmered and shined at the 2004 BET Awards. Sporting a black flapper-inspired mini dress all eyes were on the singer, and for good reason. Just look at how her fringed look complimented her radiant skin, perfection!

Vivica A. Fox brought her A-game to the 2005 BET Awards wearing a fabulous turquoise dress, featuring an embellished waistline. Take note of how the fashionable actress struck a pose to bring attention to a thigh-high slit that left us speechless on the red carpet.

Ring the sexy sirens because Niecy Nash was red-hot at the 2006 BET Awards. Watching her curves in a form-fitted maxi dress featuring shimmery beads, the Claws actress proved she’s got what it takes to make the best-dressed list. We even loved the matching flowers in her accessories.

Sporting his signature smile, LL Cool J arrived at the 2008 BET Awards looking cool and casual. Rocking a fly graphic tee and relaxed denim, the rapper and actor completed his streetwear attire with a grey NY hat. So much swag!
