Rihanna: Belle of 2008 BET Awards
Rihanna: Belle of 2008 BET Awards
When it comes to awards shows, the red carpet fashion is almost as important as who actually wins the awards. And Rihanna brought her fashion A-game to the 2008 BET Awards last night.
The Good Girl Gone Bad arrived on the pre-show red carpet looking amazing in a floor-length cleavage-baring yellow multi-tiered gown.
Turning heads everywhere she walked, the “Umbrella” singer was more than happy to indulge the clamoring paparazzi with a few hot poses before making her way inside the Shrine Auditorium.
Once inside, Rihanna changed into a fashion-forward black stage ensemble before delivering a remarkable performance, a highlight of the entire night.
Forget Fashion, Brit’s Well Suited for Court
When Britney Spears showed up today for court in an understated white blouse and khaki pants, we figured perhaps she thought she was going to the court of Gap. Silly us. She obviously picked a winning look (if you ignore the pastel overload of that clashing silver Mercedes), since she was granted overnight visits with her two sons. (Get our news coverage here.)
Brava, Brit! Now see how other stars coped with the court vs. couture conundrum in our new Court Appearances gallery.

Jamie Foxx Groomed for Settlement
Jamie Foxx ironed out the creases in his legal docket.
The actor has reached a settlement with the stylist who sued him last year for supposedly not paying her for the fashion-savvy services she provided on multiple occasions, according to documents filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Freelancer Stacy Young claimed in her suit, which she filed in February 2007, that Foxx and his label, Foxxhole Records, left her high and dry after she helped dress him for the 2006 BET Awards and for a series of press junkets while promoting Miami Vice.
Per the complaint, the plaintiff was seeking payment for services rendered, as well as unspecified damages for “thousands of dollars in costs” from employment she turned down to work with the Oscar winner.
Terms of the final deal were not disclosed. Young’s attorney told reporters they were “pleased” with the arrangement.
Foxx’s camp, which argued in response to the suit that it was Universal Studios and not Foxx that had hired Young for the Miami Vice gig, has not commented on the settlement.
