- What are you wearing today? This is fly.
Dior man, this is Dior.
This is Lanvin. Jimmy Choo.
I got a little makeup on me, but it's okay.
- [Narrator] When it comes to the biggest night
in black culture, the excitement for the BET Awards
is as much about the fashion,
as it is for the big winners of the night.
And while the queens of the carpet serve looks,
we have to show props to the kings,
who bring swag, fashion and pure fly with their presence.
Let's take a moment to spotlight
a few of the brothers who've kicked style up a notch
on the BET Awards red carpet over the years.

Superstars, Migos, have been on a style hot-streak
since bursting onto the music scene.
Wearing bold colors and styles
straight from designer fashion house runways and showrooms,
the Migos have always brought some serious couture
to the BET Awards red carpet.
In 2017, before taking home the award for Best Group,
the trio were already winners,
as they sported some of the most stylish looks of the night.
Takeoff, Offset, and Quavo lit up the red carpet,
coming in hot, wearing silk, floral-print shirts,
slim pants, and piles of diamond-encrusted jewelry.
In homage to their multi-platinum album of the same name,
the trio wore diamond culture pieces around their necks.
Taking home the "BET Awards for Best Group" in 2019
for a second time,
Migos gave us one of their very best fashion looks
that we're still talking about.
They stepped onto the red carpet in coordinated,
softly-colored suits designed with leather harnesses,
taking everybody by surprise and marvel.
It was all money-green in 2021, Migos color coordinated
in green Bottega Venetta, and stayed on-brand,
rocking shades and custom drip.
Year after year, aside from the consistent
fashion-forward looks, there's no way to skip the jewels.
From watches to neck pieces and bling in their ears,
the Migos bring a whole lot of cool with all their ice.
Always on the same page, musically and aesthetically,
Migos' bold style and fashion flare
promises to leave everyone stopping to stare
when they step onto the red carpet.

Burna Boy brought Afrobeat and international style
to the BET Awards red carpet.
Not only can we count on him for a bop,
Burna Boy is the king of dapper.
After winning "Best International Act"
at the BET Awards for three years in a row,
it's only right that we give him props for his music,
and praise for his fashion choices out on the red carpet.
In 2019, the anybody rapper
showed up at the BET Awards dressed to impress
in the Baroque metallic smoking jacket suit.
The pants were tapered to perfection,
allowing us to glimpse his Fly Guy shoes.
Back on the red carpet scene in 2021,
Burna Boy looked clean and crisp
in a white, double-breasted asymmetrical jacket,
with a wine-accented pant leg
that took the suit to another level.
Armed with a literal million-dollar smile, via his grill,
and impeccable grooming, Burna Boy just gets it.

2 Chainz just might be the best dressed rapper in the game.
From matching prints to blinged out suits,
2 Chainz brings his best whenever he steps out.
In 2015, the rapper lived up to his moniker,
stepping out in some impressive gold and ice.
He teamed it with a pastel camo jacket,
white t-shirt, slim gray denim, and gold accented sneakers.
in 2016, 2 Chainz gave us a moment
with a Gucci denim floral jacket on the red carpet.
This bold look was paired with a simple polo shirt,
accompanied by his many rings and bracelets.
But it was in 2018 that 2 Chainz
had one of the most striking looks on the red carpet.
Dressed in a double-breasted black and gold Gucci suit,
featuring the luxury brand's interlocking G-print,
the hit maker completed the ensemble with chains, rings,
bracelets, and oversized sunglasses.
Rocking a pair of Gucci black and brown,
leather stud-embellished,
Quentin loafers with metal bee detail.
His shoes were his look's high point.
In 2019, the rapper rocked out in a tuxedo jacket,
adorned with metallic cherry blossoms.
To balance out the boldness of his coat,
he paired it with ankle-cut trousers
and shiny, Oxford-style dress shoes.
He completed his stylish ensemble with jewelry
and some rose-colored glasses.
From button-downs to designer suits,
2 Chainz will always look good
when stepping out on the red carpet, no lie.

Lil Nas X is one of the best to ever
hit the BET Awards red carpet,
always bringing high-fashion with a whole lot of drama.
In 2021, Lil Nas X had us all shook,
hitting the red carpet with not just one, but two fab looks.
The energetic performer
showed up in a boldly patterned ensemble
by London-based designer Andrea Grossi.
The look was a combination of a corset-like bodice,
oversized bell-bottoms, and a matching blazer.
And like magic, Lil Nas X did a quick change,
returning to the red carpet,
rocking a floral and lace suit by Richard Quinn,
and platform boots.
This outfit switch sent social media into a frenzy,
especially when fans noticed the fashion forward outfit
was covered with pearl and diamond embellishments.
Go off, Lil' Nas X.

When talking style, hot looks aren't limited
to the women on the red carpet.
The kings continually bring it with suits, jewels,
blinged-out grills, florals, and couture.
Our kings understand the BET red carpet assignment.
From dapper to casual, locks to fades,
there's nothing like a well-dressed king.
