Yes, it was the 2010 BET Awards, and the fashion was as fierce and as far out as the show itself. Black Voices was on the red carpet and at the awards, where we chatted with stars such as Pharrell Williams (who rattled off names of the designers he was wearing better than any female celeb), Omarosa, Larenz Tate, Trina and more, about their style and, of course, Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Prince.
Watch our exclusive red carpet footage, and click through our gallery for more fashion from the red carpet and the show.
BET Awards 2010 Red Carpet: The Women
BET Awards 2010 Fashion
She had quite a few outfit changes, but Best Female Artist winner wowed in this white grecian gown.
Prince wore a jacket with a drawing Prince on it. Clearly no one else can get away with this like he can.
The mini-dress was in full effect on the red carpet. Brandy is sporting a multi-textured version with exaggerated hips. Do we like?
If you didn't know pants were optional on the BET AWards red carpet, then Dawn Richard from Dirty Money is letting you know. Don't you like how Diddy and his group coordinated?
Drake went for a laid back look for his rousing performance.
Ever the eccentrics when it comes to red carpet fashion, Jaden and Willow Smith and their mom Jada Pinkett Smith were in rare form at the BET Awards.
Kanye West opened the show standing on top of a fake mountain, but the set was secondary to the rapper's massive accessories.
Monica truly brought new meaning and depth to the strong shoulder trend. She could put an eye out with those things.
With her cute short hairdo and sky-high platform pumps, Nia Long looked pretty in this strapless dress.
Married to her job? Nikki Minaj showed up looking like an orange-haired bride.

In the BET Red Carpet Video, I wasn't feeling the Lisa Leslie dress. Wrong style and color for her. Kandi's dress with matching Burgundy hair I wasn't feeling at all. That Grand-mama dress needed to go. The Dirty Money Girls were looking "Dirty". I don't think their dress was appropriate for the Red Carpet. Omarosa's dress was beautiful.
Looking at the pics below, Alicia's Grecian Gown was the only appropriate dress (in length) that she worn all night? Prince's always looks handsome. You go Prince! Just as humble and thankful as he can be. Hail the Queen, looking so classy and beautiful. Taraj's dress looked nice and appropriate for the occasion. I wasn't feeling the deep plunge,v-neck, sequence black dress Tia Mowry was wearing. I wasn't feeling the other blonde-haired cast member's dress either.
There go Nicki's wig looking like Ms. "Heat Miser"? A HOT MESS! WT*? This was all a front and wasn't her style. She need to go head with that Madonna, "Like A Virgin" innocent crap with that long white gown. She couldn't even walk in the dress with her heels? Hated the gody jewelry! Looked like she took pieces of her necklace from a chandelier? The Dirty Money Girl clothes looking so dirty. Not appropriate for the Red Carpet. Can somebody please tell me, what was Monica wearing? Monica's top looked like some Bat Wings? I really thought she was about to fly off the stage? Nice song though? That Denice Williams messed up her own song and that dress she was wearing was awful.
Nina Long looked beautiful, as always. Not too much to say about Pharell, except that he had matching briefs? I did not "APPROVE" of Jada Pinket, Jaden, and Willow's Hair and Style of clothes. Come on Ya'll? This isn't "Nickelodeon 2010 Award Show"? Jada's outfit was too short and inappropriate for the occasion. See, Jada will shave her daughter Willow's hair but will only braid her own hair on the sides? That is WRONG! Don't know what Kanye was thinking on stage and wasn't impressed with his dress, his fake mountains, and show performance. He over did that to the MAX!!!!
