From floor-sweeping gowns to bright suits, everyone came out in their best to celebrate an evening of R&B and Soul music. Check out some of the best looks of the night below.As always, did they slay or nay?
Firstly, we have Summer Walker. She arrived in a very sexy and slinky dress with matching sparkly sandal heels. The print on her dress made a statement with images of notorious women’s mugshots on it. Certainly, Summer knows how to make something eccentric look cute.
Honoree of the night, Ashanti, looked like a holiday Barbie doll. She wore a lengthy black lace dress and gothic-looking rings on her fingers to go with it. In addition, she wore long white nails as a stark contrast to her dress.
21 Savage posed on the red carpet with a look that was as cool as ever. He wore an all-red suit with shiny black shoes, sunglasses, and a red purse. The purse was an unusual choice for such an outfit yet, 21 Savage made it work. In other words, he looked great.
Maxwell also came through with the men’s purse. The R&B legend and Soul Train Awards honoree had one slung over his all-black suit. To add some spice to his look, he wore sparkly shoes, sunglasses, and beads in his hair. He was giving Stevie Wonder with the accessories, no?
Ari Lennox looked super sensual on the red carpet. She wore a shimmery dress with a plunging neckline and feather details. Like Summer Walker, she had on matching sandal heels. Despite wearing minimal accessories, Ari looked very glamorous.
Soul music veteran El Debarge popped out as well. Unlike many of the other attendees however, he decided to show up in something casual. Debarge wore a simple t-shirt and jeans combination with sneakers. On top, he had on an equally simple corduroy and shearling jacket. As a result, he looked very minimal yet stylish.
Similarly, Normani kept her red carpet look simple too. She wore a black dress that bared her midriff and showed off her cleavage. It highlighted her toned physique and sleek hairstyle.
Lastly, is Yung Bleu. Bleu is always one to make a statement. He came through in a Balmain bomber jacket, skinny jeans, a turtle neck, and matching sneakers. As such, he looked very dapper with an urban flair.
