Red Carpet Rundown: 2019 BET Awards

After a whirlwind weekend of events in Los Angeles, the BET Awards has finally come! Before the show kicked off at the Microsoft Theater in the City of Angels Sunday, host Regina Hall, along with Saweetie, Cardi B, and more stars sizzled on the red carpet. Eva Marcille, who is pregnant with her third child, debuted her baby bump with husband Michael T. Sterling by her side, and Sinqua Walls made our jaws drop when he showed up shirtless in a suit and flashed his six pack abs, among other big red carpet moments. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. (Terms and conditions). This year’s show, which celebrates black culture and achievement in music, movies and sports, paid tribute to the late Nipsey Hussle and honored the achievements of Tyler Perry and Mary J.

Cardi turned up the crowd with a performance, and Lil Nas X and Billy Rae Cyrus, DJ Khaled and Migos, and more hit the stage too. Take a peek at all of the celebrity arrivals below!
