BET Awards 2026: Celebs Show Up and Show Out

The 2026 BET Awards took place at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, California, drawing major figures from the music, film, and sports industries for the annual celebration.

High-profile guests displayed a wide range of fashion styles on the red carpet ahead of the main ceremony. Among the notable arrivals was veteran actress and musician Queen Latifah, who attracted media attention with a distinct ensemble featuring a large black outerwear piece over a floor-length dress.

The entertainment lineup for the evening featured scheduled live performances from prominent music artists, including Cardi B, Doechii, and Kehlani.

American comedian and content creator Druski served as the host for the ceremony. With this appointment, he made history as the youngest master of ceremonies to anchor the event since the launch of the BET Awards.
