Highlights and Best Dressed at the 2016 BET Awards.

And the Best Dressed Award goes to…

My internet cousin, Side-eye Queen and Leader of No Chill, the Awesome-est chick on the internet: Luvvie Ajayi a.k.a Awesomely Luvvie!!! 

I shoulda known the show was gonna be LIT just by Luvvie’s ensemble but I.was.not.ready!!!!

When Beyonce’s dancers started coming down the isles with MLK’s voice in the background I started to sweat. By the time she was belting out the chorus I was ready to go get a bucket and throw water on my floor because I could not stand still. My 3yo was yelling Beyyyyoncaaayy!!! because she knows when its time to get in Formation.

By the time Kendrick came out I was drenched (Sunday was a HOT day around these parts, 33 degrees to be exact).

I was so high after that performance.

Then duty called and I had to go put the kid to bed. Womp.

BUT!

I got back just in time for Jesse Williams’ AMAZING life-giving speech. I have watched it at least three times already. When he shouted out Black women I got so emotional.

We will be talking about this speech for generations to come. Trust.

Ok (deep breath), here are my best dressed looks:

Megan Good Hello Mrs Franklin!

Tracee Ellis Ross The hostest with the mostest never misses a beat

Janelle Monae Listen, I don’t wanna hear no comparisons to Beetle Juice. Did you see her performance? You better put some respeck on my Queen’s name.

Alicia Keys Hey Alicia girl! I’m really feelin’ this #nomakeup and head wrap thing you got going on! I’m here for you.

Nandi Mngoma This girl is so beautiful. Gawd. Every time I see Nandi she makes me want to get my life together and do a big chop. If you don’t know her, YouTube is your friend. Luckily, you have me to introduce you. You’re welcome 😉
