During the 2021 BET Awards, many celebrities, including Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, Zendaya and Ciara, showed up in style.

Rapper Lil Nas X turned heads in two elaborate designer looks that featured bold prints and shapes.

Zendaya wore an alluring look from Versace's spring-summer 2003 collection styled by Law Roach. Her look seemed to be inspired by a dress Beyoncé wore to the 2003 ceremony.

This year's BET Awards theme was the "year of the Black woman," and almost every moment of the evening echoed that concept.
