Kerry Washington consistently owns red carpets with her impeccable style, and she always seems to know what works best for her. She nailed it once again Sunday night at the 2011 BET Awards when she commanded the red carpet in a neon Michael Kors Resort 2012 column gown with a metallic clutch and Christian Louboutin pumps.

We couldn’t turn away from Kerry’s radiance! The summery dress was sexy with a keyhole opening above the belt, thigh–high split and open back, but she still gave off an air of chic with a flowing train and sleek bun. Tell us who had some of your favorite looks during the 2011 BET Awards in the comment section below.
