12 Beauty Details You May Have Missed at the 2026 BET Awards
On Sunday night, Doechii, Tyla, and Jaafar Jackson were just a few of the stars who gathered at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles to celebrate Black excellence in film, music, sports, and more for the 26th annual BET Awards.
Of course, red carpet queen Teyana Taylor was there in a burgundy Stéphane Rolland gown embellished with rubies and a coordinating headpiece. The actor, musician, director, and all-around fashion icon took home a whopping four trophies for icon of the year, best actress, video director of the year, and the inaugural fashion vanguard award—with a winning beauty look to match.
Dramatic eyes were a trending beauty look throughout the night, with everyone from Chlöe Bailey to Lauryn Hill and Cardi B participating, each experimenting with varying shades of fun, brightly colored eyeshadows.
Both minimalist and maximalist manicures walked the red carpet—a true dealer’s choice when it comes to inspiration for your next set. Just look at Coco Jones’ soft chrome nails for brides-to-be (she’s engaged to NBA star Donovan Mitchell) and Love Island alum Olandria going for a full gem-encrusted design.
