The 2015 BET Awards Red Carpet Was A Fabulous Display Of High Fashion Meets Hip-Hop

Most people wouldn't think of the BET Awards as the most stylish event of the year, but this year's 2015 BET Awards red carpet proves that you should definitely not count it out. After all, this is no ordinary BET awards - it's the 15th anniversary of the event, which means you can expect the biggest musicians, rappers, athletes, actors, and actresses to show up in their Sunday best. Disappointed, you won't be.

If you've watched previous BET awards, then you know what we mean by best - we're not just talking fashionable and chic, we're talking the boldest, most daring fashion-forward looks that truly make a statement and will forever be engrained in our memories for years to come. Remember T-Pain's purple head-to-toe ensemble or CeeLo's loofah hat?

Without further ado, here are all of the good, the bad, and the bold looks from tonight's arrivals.
