The 2023 BET Soul Train Awards in Los Angeles featured several stars from the R&B and soul genre wearing striking red carpet looks. Airing on Sunday, this year’s award show includes performances by SWV, BJ the Chicago Kid and Muni Long.
Tamar Braxton, Sereyah and Keke Palmer were among them, with Palmer in a black Versace minidress. Palmer, who hosted this year’s award show, accessorized her Little Black Dress from the Italian fashion label with pointed-toe heels and a bold new hairstyle: blond highlighted tresses.
