The Most Daring Dresses From the BET Awards 2023: Ice Spice, Coco Jones and More

Across the red carpet, stars packed a punch with a wide range of dynamic outfits. Whether mini or maxi-length, matte or sheer, many celebrities found multiple ways to make their outfits daring. The most common element to this was sheer fabric, seen on dresses with matte paneling, overlaid embellishments or simply used to emphasize undergarments. Others leaned into cutouts across the bodice, shoulders and hips — particularly in silhouettes that are traditionally more conservative — for an illusion-like surprise. Below, discover the riskiest looks celebrities wore on this year’s BET Awards red carpet.

The bodycon piece gained a sharp edge, however, from layers of gleaming gold and silver chains across its bodice and neckline, which simultaneously draped into a curved hemline with a makeshift thigh-high slit.
