Buckle up, because we’re diving headfirst into the fashion flops of last night’s BET Awards — and for once, it wasn’t the ladies. Nope. The women understood the assignment. But the men? The men showed up like they lost a bet. The invite said “Black Tie,” but clearly, some of them read it as “Bad Taste.” So let’s spill the tea and sip slowly — here are the Worst Dressed Men at the BET Awards, dragged lovingly (but also ruthlessly) for your entertainment.
Cam Newton – Sleeveless Silk Suit & Scarf Combo of Doom
Cam Newton showed up looking like a sleep-paralyzed fever dream from a discount French fashion school. A sleeveless silk suit? Sir, are you going to a red carpet or a pajama party in a sauna? Add in that tragic scarf and suddenly it’s giving… regurgitated upholstery. Honestly, it looked like someone asked ChatGPT to describe “fashion-forward” and then hit shuffle. Cam, baby, we know you love a statement piece — but this one said, “I’m confused and clammy.”
Busta Rhymes – Dracula’s Rich Uncle
If Nosferatu hit the lotto and got a stylist from Craigslist, you’d have Busta Rhymes last night. The man looked like he was one “BLEH” away from biting somebody. Velvet, leather, capes — it was all too much and yet somehow not enough. Busta, we get it — you’re a legend. But this look screamed “Blade reboot villain” and not in a good way. It was giving “Halloween costume bought at a gas station that sells hookah supplies.” We’re scared… but not of you. Scared for you.
Snoop Dogg and Wife – Gangsta Time Travelers
Snoop and his forever-fly wife showed up looking like they just got off parole and walked straight into the 2025 BET Awards from 1993. In matching ugly blue suits that were equal parts Crip cosplay and dollar-store prom king, the vibe was… confusing. Snoop looked like he was late for court and a backyard BBQ. His wife’s outfit? Just as bad — coordinating without slaying is a fashion crime. They didn’t just miss the Black Tie memo — they shredded it, smoked it, and rolled it in a blunt.
Kirk Franklin – Jean Genie on Stilts
Kirk Franklin pulled up in what can only be described as a Canadian tuxedo fever dream. Denim on denim is already dangerous territory, but throw in those ridiculous 4-inch-soled boots and now we’re in fashion purgatory. We get it, Kirk — you’re trying to look elevated, but babe… it’s giving toddler in dad’s shoes. The boots were working overtime trying to gaslight us into thinking he’s tall. Spoiler alert: they failed. He looked like Mario about to stomp a Koopa — but in church jeans.
Conclusion: Black Tie or Black Lie?
Let’s be honest, the men took “Black Tie” and decided it was a suggestion, not a requirement. Meanwhile, the women were out there serving face, body, and haute couture realness. Gentlemen — next time, ask your girlfriends for help. Or better yet, just follow the dress code. Because last night? Y’all looked like the clearance rack at Spirit Halloween.
Pass the popcorn, because we’ll be laughing at these outfits till next year.
