Queen Latifah graced the red carpet at the 2026 BET Awards held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, June 28. The celebrated artist arrived in a striking black gown, complemented by a coat with a unique textured pattern and voluminous sleeves.

Her ensemble was completed with an elegant braided bun, smoky eye makeup, and red lips, accessorized with dangling gold earrings and pinky rings. This year's BET Awards, hosted by comedian Druski, continue their tradition of honoring Black artists, athletes, and philanthropists since their inception in 2001.

Latifah, a previous two-time BET award recipient, was announced as a featured performer for the 2026 ceremony on June 17. The event also featured performances by artists such as Cardi B, Baby Keem, Kehlani, and Don Toliver.
