Culture’s biggest night is here and so are the best (and worst) dressed celebs of the night.

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

  Share

  We love to see some color on the carpet, but the black fringe doesn't work for this look.

• 20. Jack Harlow

  Share

  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

  Share

  Billy Porter is known for their statement looks which usually are one of the best looks of the night however this look is just plain scary. While the makeup is on point, the beige suit is "blah" and the shoulder pads are a bit much.
• 18. Givēon

  Share

  While Givēon's debut full-length album is a hit, this red carpet look is not. A black top and brown pants are hard to pull off and sadly this R&B crooner did not.

• 17. Chance The Rapper

  Share

  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

  Share

  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

  Share

  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

  Share

  Saucy Santana's look is giving off 'Clueless' vibes with the plaid dress, which is not necessarily bad. However, the "Booty" rapper could have pulled off the look better with a different footwear choice.

• 13. Summer Walker

  Share

  Summer Walker always surprises us with her red carpet looks. The expecting mama chose to take a page from RiRi's maternity catalog with this daring look.
• 12. Quincy Brown

  Share

  Quincy showed out for the men on the red carpet with this fun purple look.

• 11. Taraji P. Henson

  Share

  The host of this year's award show Taraji P. Henson came to slay in this glittery one-shoulder silver dress.

• 10. Muni Long

  Share

  Muni Long chose a gorgeous pink and red dress resembling blooming hydrangeas. Muni slayed this look and wowed the crowd with her performance of her No. 1 hit, "Hrs & Hrs."
• 9. Ebony Obsidian

  Share

  '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

  Share

  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

  Share

  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

  Share

  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

  Share

  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

  Share

  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

  Share

  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

  Share

  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

  Share

  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.
