The LaBelle Dress Game Is on Fleek - Patti's a legend and that's just a fact. BET Honors will be presenting Patti with the Musical Arts Award tonight, 3/14 at 8 p.m. Aside from her iconic voice, she's got an iconic sense of style that has lasted over the years. For that we can't be mad at her. Heck, we should celebrate it. Let's look back over Patti's years for some fashion that deserves to be remembered. —Jon Reyes (Photo: Bennett Raglin/BET/Getty Images for BET)
