Megan Thee Stallion and Saweetie leave little to the imagination in billowing gowns while Ciara works a bedazzled jumpsuit as they lead the glamour on the 2021 BET Awards red carpet
Megan Thee Stallion, Saweetie and Zendaya brought the wow factor to the 2021 BET Awards red carpet in Los Angeles on Sunday, where they each put on jaw-dropping displays.
The Hot Girl Summer hit-maker, 26, showed some serious skin as she arrived to Microsoft Theater in a very revealing white dress barely held together with metallic cords.
With her cleavage and legs on full display, Megan had all eyes on her as she posed up a storm in her super glam and sexy ensemble, while the Goodies singer, 35, wowed in a dazzling catsuit and Saweetie, 27, wore a gold and purple gown with a vast train and barely-there sheer body.
