The BET Awards 2012

The BET Awards took place last night in Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium and it saw stars such as Jay Z, Beyonce, Kanye West and new beau Kim Kardashian, Mariah Carey, Nicky Minaj, Usher, Chris Brown attend the popular awards ceremony which also featured a tribute to the late singer Whitney Houston.

Check out the pictures of what the stars all wore to the awards ceremony.

Beyonce looked stunning in a yellow dress that she worked well. 

Nicki Minaj opted for animal print. Not the best outfit choice! 

Siblings Willow and Jayden Smith attended.

Usher strikes a pose. 

Jay Z looks dapper in his suit whilst Kanye West goes for a more casual all white look matching his girlfriend Kim Kardashian's all white outfit. 

Nude rules the red carpet

Nude coloured gowns proved popular amongst the ladies on the red carpet with a few of them opting for this colour. 

Mariah Carey looked stunning in a nude coloured gown. 

Rapper LoLa Monroe opted for a nude gown too. I do like the gold head piece, she works it well!

Singer Michelle Williams opted for a nude coloured fitted dress. She works this look well. 

Kerry Washington was another star that opted for nude and black mix. The actress could have opted for something a bit more exciting as this is very simple. 

Top Model! 

America's Next Top Model fans will recognise these next two ladies, who both appeared in the third season of the hit modelling show, and have gone on to pursue modelling careers (Toccara Jones) and acting careers (Eva Marcille). 

Toccaro Jones opted for her take on Monochrome, not a fan of this look, too many prints! 

Actress Eva Marcille works the little white dress. 

Best Dressed 

The best dressed of the night in my opinion would have to go to Kim Kardashian who also worked the LWD, similar to Eva Marcille's dress Kim worked this look better. I do like the interesting zip feature that is going on, on the back of the dress! I do like her shoes that add a classic vibe to the simple fitted dress.
