Everyone was Wakanda-ing at this year’s BET Awards, where host Jamie Foxx didn’t let “the panther in the room” go unnoticed. Aside from Michael B. Jordan delivering his epic “Bury me in the ocean” line onstage, there was plenty to celebrate at Los Angeles’s Microsoft Theatre, with SZA, Tiffany Haddish, and Migos all taking home awards. (Cardi B was missed, but she had a good reason to skip out.)

The celebration of “black excellence televised,” as Foxx told the audience, was attended by Tyra Banks, Donald Glover, and DeJ Loaf – all in excellent jumpsuits. Amber Rose channeled Old Hollywood in blonde waves and a velvet green dress, and Storm Reid’s galactic getup was another standout. But it was Janelle Monáe who stole the show in flowing rainbow tulle – perfect for Pride Month. See all the BET Awards 2018 red-carpet looks in the slideshow below.
