BET Awards Best and Worst Dressed

June 25, 2008 at 3:14pm PST

Last night’s BET Awards brought glitz and glam to LA’s Shrine Auditorium. So who delivered a fashion KO and who took a red carpet beating?

Best Dressed-The Knockouts:
Rihanna

In a neon yellow Giambattista Valli dress, the Barbadian songstress looks like the prettiest tennis ball we’ve ever seen. She killed it! Diva purrfection! That’s not an easy dress to pull off, but she manages to make it look chic and effortless. Even the security guard is spellbound.
Alicia Keys
Alicia arrives in a David Meister dress the color of a strawberry blowpop and super-saucy Sergio Rossi heels. Dayum girl! How many licks does it take? But the piece de resistance were the ghetto fabulous hot pink Love/Hate brass knuckles she wore on each hand.
Cassie
Kids, don’t try this at home! It takes a professional to pull off a Vivienne Westwood hyper-mini t-shirt dress the color of Hostess Sno-Balls, but singer and model Cassie manages just fine. When you’re that sumptuous, you really should wear as little clothing as possible. Her body is out of control. We’re going to the gym right now.

Worst Dressed-The Walking Wounded:
Solange Knowles

Not only was Solange Knowles (Beyonce’s less talented, less attractive, less interesting sister…which has to suck when your sister is one of the wackest people on the planet) wearing one of the ugliest, gaudiest dresses of the night (you know that nastiness is House of Dereon),  but her weave was out of control.

It looks like she grabbed some hair and just put it on her head — no styling, no sewing or clipping in, just (insert raspberry noise) hair. Her shoes are tranny-licious (not in a good way), and think of all the poor birds that had to die just so she could look tacky and carry that atrocious purse.

Tina Knowles and her House of Dereon need to be burned to the ground.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
