The 2022 BET Awards aired Sunday, June 26 on BET at 8 pm ET/ PT hosted by Taraji P. Henson. Nominees included Doja Cat, Ari Lennox, Drake, Jazmine Sullivan, and many more.
Take a look at how your favorite artists ranked on the red carpet:
21. Mignon

20. Jack Harlow
(Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images,)Although the Lil Nas X t-shirt made a statement as his "Industry Baby" collaborator was shockingly not nominated for any BET Awards this year, the outfit fell flat.
19. Billy Porter

18. Givēon

17. Chance The Rapper
(Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images,)While Chance The Rapper's look is not one of the worst of the night, it is certainly not the best. The jeans are interesting, but the whole ensemble doesn't look like much effort was put in.
16. Jussie Smollett
(Photo by Aaron J. Thornton/Getty Images for BET)Jussie Smollett decided to go for a relaxed look with this year's ceremony. The brown ensemble is not bad but doesn't necessarily scream, "I'm attending a red carpet event."
15. Coi Leray
(Photo by Aaron J. Thornton/Getty Images for BET)Coi Leray always hits the red carpet with some interesting, but the "Blick Blick" rapper surprisingly pulls off the all-jean look.
14. Saucy Santana

13. Summer Walker

12. Quincy Brown

11. Taraji P. Henson
(Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images,)The host of this year's award show Taraji P. Henson came to slay in this glittery one-shoulder silver dress.
10. Muni Long

9. Ebony Obsidian
(Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images,)'Sistas' actress Ebony Obsidian looked incredible in this blue bandeau cut-out dress. The simple diamond jewelry and natural makeup compliment the entire look.
8. Mary J. Blige
(Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images,)Mary J. Blige looked absolutely gorgeous in this all-white two-piece outfit. The one-shoulder and high split are signature Mary, and she brought it once again.
7. Ari Lennox
(Photo by Paras Griffin/Getty Images for BET)Sometimes an all-black look can come off as basic, but this is not the case with Ari Lennox's look on the red carpet tonight. The mixture of lace and sleekness of her hair pulls the look together completely.
6. Big Freedia
(Photo by Aaron J. Thornton/Getty Images for BET)BIG Freedia is right. The artist who recently collabed with Beyoncé on "Break My Soul" made a big statement with her pink cape and matching fringed pants. The look comes together with a white shirt under a rainbow bandeau bedazzled vest giving a shoutout to Pride Month.
5. Lizzo
(Photo by Aaron J. Thornton/Getty Images for BET)Lizzo's face card never declines, and neither does this dress. The "About Damn Time" singer stunned in this dark blue dress. The fur, high slit, and deep v-cut made the dress even sexier.
4. Chlöe Bailey
(Photo by Paras Griffin/Getty Images for BET)Chlöe Bailey knows how to look stunning on a red carpet. Between the sparkles and elaborate cutout, we can't choose which part of the dress we love more.
3. Lucky Daye
(Photo by Paras Griffin/Getty Images for BET)Lucky Daye is hands down the best-dressed man at this year's award show. The yellow, blue, and pink ombré suit and matching bouquet take the cake.
2. Victoria Monét
(Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images,)Looking at this photo, you wouldn't think that this was Victoria Monét's first BET Awards. The "Coastin" singer had one of the night's best looks in her brown latex dress. She also stole the BET preshow in her first-ever award show performance.
1. Janelle Monáe
(Photo by Paras Griffin/Getty Images for BET)And the best dressed of the night was none other than Janelle Monáe. The singer and actress absolutely slayed in their black dress that had several elements cohesively coming together. The sheerness at the bottom connecting the bandeau top with thick black straps with silver clips is attention to detail at its finest.
