Janet Jackson Stuns in '2Pac' Tribute on BET Red Carpet

Janet Jackson captivated attendees at the 2026 BET Awards, making a stylish statement on the red carpet.

She arrived at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, June 28, wearing a bold pinstripe suit consisting of oversized pants and a matching blouse. The ensemble was layered over a graphic T-shirt featuring the late rapper Tupac Shakur, a tribute to her 'Poetic Justice' co-star.

Jackson completed her look with a studded belt, numerous silver bangles, and a black fedora adorned with a birdcage veil and feathers. This appearance follows her receiving the Icon Award at the previous year's BET Awards.

During her acceptance speech last year, Jackson expressed gratitude but humbly stated she didn't consider herself an icon, emphasizing her family's love for music and hard work over fame. She also shared a motivational quote on social media earlier on Sunday, June 28, advising followers not to fear losing others but to prioritize self-preservation.

Known for her role as a mother to her son Eissa, Jackson has previously spoken about how motherhood has profoundly changed her life, describing it as the most important thing she has accomplished.
