Last night saw the stars align for the 2016 BET Black Girls Rock special.
The annual event celebrates the achievements of women of color in the entertainment, literary, and philanthropical fields.
One of the most notable honorees was Rihanna, who was presented with the Rockstar Award.
Kelly Rowland was also in the house at the event, which took place at the New Jersey Performance Center. Beyond introducing Gladys Knight, Ms. Kelly engaged in smart synchronisation. For, her new talent search ‘Chasing Destiny’ kicks off immediately following the show’s April 5th broadcast on BET.
Flip the hood to see more pics of Rih, Kelly, Monica, and more…

That is the best I’ve ever seen Monica look! SLAY! Kelly looks stunning and Rihanna looks a hot mess as usual.
Where’s HeHe?
Sis you’re so yesterday. Stop stalking me.
‘ so yesterday’ explains your faves career, social relevance and her oestrogen levels. Funny how I shut yo ass down yesterday, I dare you to FÜCKING TRY IT again today!
I admire your confidence sis. You really think you’re dragging but you’re making an ass of yourself. Stay pressed f*****!
KIIIII but why are you shaking and quivering sis! If you really aren’t @Møldy, then speak on it!!!!
Monica dress looks like it came from tj maxx
And Rihannas outfit looks like it came straight from Old Navy’s clearance rack, with her mall kiosk accessories. Girl get the f*** outta my replies.
And Heara looks like Snoop Lion with a wig on. I heard CI-MALE was selling churros outside the BET awards. Yes I would like chocolate sauce with that … BÏTCH!
DEATH?
This AÏDS ridden B**** is really following me from post to post. Sis your obsession is truly frightening.
KIIIII at this deluded Syphillis-infected cümquat! I came for you on this post only! You were the one that started following me on the Beyonce post, so ofc I’m going to f****** clapback! Try harder and do better B*TCH!
You are sooooooooo jealous of Rihanna. It’s sad. She consumes your hating ass.
Rihanna looks a hot mess get ready to be dragged by PETA lmao. Kelly looks good, Monica looks great.
OK house of dereon
Wow, everyone looks really good. Miss Rowland looks divine! And, Sam going back to the old design was a smart idea. Fits this website way better. Congrats Rihanna, you’re definitely a girl (woman) that rocks. Regardless of your race.
Why would you say regardless of her race? This is black girls rock they look like goddesses and they are black women so get your dismissive a.ss off the post.
Like I said, REGARDLESS OF HER RACE… She’s a woman that rocks, period. Now, how about you stop following behind my comments… And, stay yo black nappy headed ass up out my reply section! Ya hear me? Okay, BYE!
Death Rihanna looks like she entered her closet with a blindfold on and was told to pick out an outfit. Throwing anything together is NOT fashion.
It’s actually straight off the runway from the muimui spring collection I believe. I agree is rather her drab up for the event. But she is anti so!!! Still beautiful as always. Jelly is always beautiful and elegantly dressed. Monica is ok. Tatiana is like a few weeks pregnant and already holding her stomach. Killing me
These bums don’t know style rih looks good and the haters are hood boogers with house of dereon taste
Guess you know so much because you are coco Chanel
Girl and rih closest is everything it’s better than what bey wore to the white house easter egg hunt rih looks good and casual s*** and comfortable your welfare money in yet it’s the first of the month
ALRIGHT NOW MONICA !!!
Kelly serving it.
Rihanna looked a bit 2 casual under the furlicuous coat and beat beautiful face.
Loved when Kelly and Mo posed together

ERRRGGG what’s that random good morning universe on my comment ewwww. Just wanted to show off my girl Mo and DC beauty Kelly posing a storm together KMT!!
Racially ambiguous no more! ??. I love how all these singers who have benefited from the industry’s bias against darker women are now so ready to embrace their ethnicities after doing the absolute most with make up and blonde wigs to water it down.
Freedom of expression comes in all manners nowadays so to racially colour code styles and fashions is well outdated in 2016.
At this rate you’ll be inducted into the “Chris Brown” class of d1ckheadedtry. It’s a class where no lessons are learned and bone idolness reigns supreme in the cycle of foolishness.
Mad because no ones checking for your chopstick chipmunk fav sis?
Kelly looks amazing, I see you Monica and congratulations Ms.Tatyana! She looks good too!
Kind of tacky to only show up when you win something. Pay the BET awards and BGR dust unless you want something… But I guess it would’ve been just as tacky to not show up.
Yeah when your hated anything you do seems to be tacky or wrong ??
Stfu
The others played it so safe Rihanna is such a fashion icon she literally shut the place down as soon as she arrived on the red carpet !
Photogs and fans went bezerk !
They always play it safe ??? which is actually good for jelly because back in the day she made some bad red carpet choices. Now she just keeps it elegant. Had Rihanna wore that outfit. Which is reminiscent to her met gala look two years ago; it would be she is boring. Rihanna looks comfortable, able to breathe, simple, edgy, and fabulous all at once. That fur by the way is ???????? for the peta mungers ?
Rih looks good she always stand out above everyone else that’s why she is a fashion icon people think fashion suppose to be one way it’s like art think outside the box eclectic Rih defines artristy haters will always hate on Rih that’s why she stays winning
KELLY ?????? I see you sis, giving me Greek goddess looks!!! *big freedia voice* yasss, ooooh yassss!
Not a fan of fur but Rihannas look is ferosh.
Rih’s makeup is on point and slaying!!!! I’m so glad that she showed up to this event.
Why must Rihanna be so ANTI this era. Like how come she couldn’t put on a dress? Like girl, you’re a rockstar; we get it. Now be a bit more normal for once. I do love the hair and make up though.
Rihanna, c’mon, you could’ve looked better than this! You look like you’re wearing pajamas! These folks are honoring you with an award and you come out looking like this?
I prefer the way Rih’s outfit looked without the fur in the candid photos of her outside her NY hotel. Something like this would’ve slayed if she was attending let’s say the RocNation pre-Grammy brunch but for this event, not so much. Love the hair, make-up and accessories though. Kelly looks so snatched and yes to those boobs, lol!!! Mo is pretty but her make-up looks so caked on and I like Eva’s color combo. That’s all I’ve got.
i know Brandy, monica and jazmine Sullivan each slayed their performances, I can’t wait to see it when it airs!
Lol, all yall being mad at Rihanna wearing her pajamas, she forgot about the event while @ home during netflix N chill in her fur robe, then Mel dragged her to this BET event.
You shouldn’t say that. They’re honoring her with an award. Stop acting like she’s too good for black events. Superstars like Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston always attended black events
Rih and bey don’t dress up for BET. They only wear pajamas to those events.
No need for that ridiculous fur. What´s the point? That you don´t give a damn about anything? That basic environment knowledge or some kind of compassion is not for you? We know you are probably a pretty ignorant girl Rihanna but come one, everybody needs to step up their game especially when you are like 30 years old. Not here for it. And that´s the only thing one is supposed to appreciate from Rihanna: some good ensembles. Since you know… she can´t sing, songwrite, perform or anything at all.
Monica looks amazing. First time seeing her with big teased hair like that. The girl has been slaying for 20 years. Kelly looks great beautiful black women who need to get more props period.
Good for her… Ive had Rihanna fans swear to me she’s not black. White racists hate for their faves to be black so they dig up ancient ancestry lol be like “her great great great great great paternal grandmother was irish” good for her… She now has a great great great great black granddaughter “
People are so jealous of Rihanna because she does her. It eats you haters up. I’m not even going to come for Ciara though lol.
Yeeeessssssss Monica!
CheatHanna Looks Very Good, She Always Slays The Red Carpet, Still Not Here For Her Fake Ass WannaBe BadGirl And Her Hypocrits Navy, But She’s An Fashion Icon.
Kelly Rowland and taytana Ali looks wonderful as well Monica brown. Everybody else looks nice
IT’S ALL ABOUT MONICA!!!!!
