BET Awards 2016 Red Carpet Style

BET Awards 2016 Red Carpet Style

The BET Awards are underway, and with the performances — both surprise and planned — and the tributes to Prince weaved throughout the evening, it’s already shaping up to be one of the best ceremonies they’ve put on in years.

But right now, we’re here to turn our attention to the red carpet to check out who absolutely killed it and who should probably fire their stylists.

Unfortunately, Beyonce didn’t walk the red carpet — likely in an effort to keep the surprise opening performance under wraps — BUT her dancers came to slay on her behalf:

And commanded the attention of the carpet so much that only a few stopped to question why they were there before the big reveal…

Nice, right? Hit the flip for more looks from the evening…
