The BET Awards are one of the biggest nights in Hollywood. Everyone wants to put their best foot forward, but somehow, even with the best of stylists at their service, some falter. Is it because 'Fashion Police' is no longer around? Well, even if they aren't, we are. After scouring through the multitude of celebrities that graced the BET Awards Red Carpet, we have singled out these five individuals who must be apprehended for their abhorrent outfits. Some went too safe with their choices, while others chose a silhouette that did not complement them at all. Some did not use the magic of accessories at all, while some overdid it. At the most dazzling night of the year, their fashion choices were unfortunately too underwhelming to ignore.

JaNa Craig

The Love Island breakout star showed up in two outfits at the prestigious event. In the TOAST Creator Event, she showed up in a risque outfit that did not highlight any of her features. The pink ensemble sat very awkwardly on her body, and the makeup, featuring bold eyes and a subtle lipstick, also failed to complement. The second outfit on the Red Carpet was better, but not enough. The sculpted, beige gown with a plunging neckline again did not put her brilliant features into the spotlight. Even though the influencer wore several gold accessories, none added anything to the outfit. Sadly, she is dumped from the Fashion Island.

Clarke Carraway

Clarke Carraway's choice on 'Love Island' was criticized, and it seems like her fashion choices are also no different. She showed up in a two-piece at the event. The skirt was definitely trying to give off a sexy vibe, with its thigh-high slit. Ultimately, though, the wrap skirt gives just dullness. There is no oomph factor. Even though it flaunts her toned figure to the T, it is something anyone could be caught wearing at a club. The top combines a black lace jacket with a white buttoned-up shirt. The combination is cropped, giving a full view of Carraway's brilliant abs. However, it is still too plain for the event. The empty hands and sole pendant also aren't a hit.

Nia Long

You can never go wrong with Black, but sometimes you can. Nia Long became the living proof of it when she showed up in an ill-fitted, plunging Black satin gown. She paired it up with gold accessories and a black-and-white bag, but even then, the look couldn't be saved. It seemed that there was no effort to make the look stand out. Several expensive items were just put together. The veteran actress should have done better.

Kehlani

The bod-hugging red ensemble on Kehlani was possibly designed to give off Female Pharaoh vibes. But it just fell flat. The color did not align with the theme. It was bold red, which unfortunately screamed drama and not regal. Even the drama bit does not land. The silhouette provides nothing, no flair, no panache, just a robotic vibe. The silver bar right in the middle also becomes an awkward detail that is too hard to ignore.

Porsha Williams

Porsha Williams is known for bringing drama to the 'Real Housewives' and possibly wanted to do the same on the red carpet with her bright green outfit. However, there is a thin line between drama and embarrassment, and this 'RHOA' star entered the latter territory. The color, the slit, the plunging neckline, nothing managed to wow. The neckline, sitting awkwardly on her body, made the whole ensemble hard to look at. The long earrings and makeup were also misses. The dress needed elegance and some comfort, but all it will have is a spot on this list.
