Taraji P. Henson Shines in Custom Balmain at BET Awards 2024 Red Carpet

The 2024 BET Awards showcased an array of stars in glamorous attire on the red carpet in Los Angeles this Sunday. Among them was Taraji P. Henson, who dazzled in her high-fashion ensemble before undertaking her hosting duties for the evening. The “The Color Purple” star radiated elegance from head to toe in her designer outfit.

For this year’s BET Awards, Henson donned a custom sleeveless dress designed by Balmain. The column gown was a masterpiece, combining elements like fringe, rhinestones, and chain links. The straps of Henson’s dress were crafted in a chainlink style, which extended through the bodice and down the skirt, creating a cohesive and stylish look.

The fringe detailing was intricately woven between the chain links, adding dimension to the dress. Glittering rhinestones adorned both the skirt and bodice, peeking through the fringe and chain links, making Henson’s gown sparkle from every angle.

Adding a trendy touch, the bodice included a peekaboo bra detail in black fabric, offering a striking contrast to the gown’s overall gold hue. This modern element has been favored by numerous celebrities recently, enhancing the contemporary appeal of Henson’s outfit.

Complementing her glittering dress, Henson accessorized with stunning jewelry pieces from Pharrell Williams’ Titan collection in collaboration with Tiffany & Co. She completed her glamorous look with a pair of shoes by Betsey Johnson.

Her overall look was accentuated by her side-swept sleek bob, styled by Tym Wallace. Saisha Beecham provided the finishing touches with makeup, featuring a shimmering gold eye and bold lashes, enhancing Henson’s radiant appearance. The actress’s entire red carpet ensemble was curated by stylists Wayman Deon and Micah McDonald.

The BET Awards honor excellence across various fields of entertainment, celebrating achievements in music, sports, television, and movies. This year, Taraji P. Henson had the honor of hosting the event, which featured performances by artists like Ice Spice, Tyla, GloRilla, Latto, Muni Long, Sexyy Red, Shaboozey, Victoria Monét, and others.
