Tems brought understated glamour to the 2026 BET Awards, stepping onto the red carpet. The Grammy-winning singer attended the ceremony in a custom Luis De Javier creation, styled by longtime collaborator Dunsin Wright, proving once again that minimalism can make the loudest statement.

The rich chocolate brown gown featured a plunging halter neckline that framed her décolletage beautifully while maintaining a sleek, body-skimming silhouette. The dress hugged her figure before transforming into a show-stopping feathered skirt that wrapped diagonally around the lower half of the gown, adding texture, movement and red carpet drama without overwhelming the clean lines of the design.

Tems kept the styling intentionally refined, allowing the gown to take centre stage. She paired the look with a delicate diamond necklace, matching bracelet and statement rings, while her beauty look was equally timeless. Soft waves cascaded past her shoulders, complemented by bronzed makeup, defined eyes and a deep brown lip that perfectly echoed the rich tone of the dress.

Styled by Dunsin Wright, the ensemble struck the perfect balance between modern glamour and timeless elegance, ensuring all eyes were on the Nigerian star as she arrived at one of music’s biggest nights
