The 2024 BET Awards featured a bevy of stars in fashionable threads hitting the red carpet event in Los Angeles on Sunday. Taraji P. Henson joined fellow A-list stars and the night's nominees, making a grand entrance prior to her hosting duties for the evening. "The Color Purple" star glittered from head to toe in her designer look.
For the 2024 BET Awards, Henson fashioned a custom sleeveless dress courtesy of Balmain. The column gown featured an ornately designed combination of fringe, rhinestones and fetters. The straps of Henson's dress were designed in a chainlink style, which was included throughout the bodice and skirt of the actress' look.

Fringe detailing was woven horizontally between the chain links throughout the dress. A glittering rhinestone skirt and bodice could just be seen beneath the fringe and chain links of Henson's Balmain gown.
Henson's custom dress also featured a particular trend a number of celebs have fashioned, as of late. The bodice of the Oscar-nominated actress' dress included a peekaboo bra detailing in black fabric, adding a stark color contrast to the gold of Henson's gown.
