BET Awards 2014: Red Carpet

The stars were shining bright at the BET Awards 2014 at Nokia Theatre at L.A. LIVE on Sunday. Before the main event, hip-hop and R&B’s biggest names showed out on the red carpet. From the glamour girls to the dapper dudes, there were plenty of big fashion moments.

T.I. was casual and cool in Maison Martin Margiela with his “swag essential,” a sweater tied around his shoulders. Ashanti was white-hot in a cleavage-baring Michael Costello gown, Zendaya channeled Aaliyah in Emmanuel Ungaro, and Best New Artist winner August Alsina rocked a blue suit and Balenciaga shoes.
