So I covered the carpet for Fashion Bomb Daily at yesterday’s BET Awards in LA.
I’ll be honest: I saw a few of my fellow blogging buddies walk the carpet, and I think I want to give it a whirl next year;) And even though the red carpet gives me a bit of anxiety, it was actually very enjoyable! I love chit chatting with people, asking them about their inspiration for their look, and what they’re wearing. And I got a chance to chat with Kelly Rowland and Letoya Luckett, both of whom said they were fans of FBD!
At any rate, enough editorializing! I tapped the talented LaQuan Smith to make my dress for the day.
The custom creation is 100% sheer, which was nice to catch a breeze on the boiling red carpet! I wore a nude bra and a Spanx bodysuit underneath.
I kept my accessories simple with Sisoo earrings and Jimmy Choo pumps.
I went to the BET with zero expectations. They didn’t fly me out there–I just took a risk and went (with media credentials of course!). But it turned out to be great. Can’t wait for next year;)
Were you feeling the dress?
