Look at All Those Braids on the 2016 BET Awards Arrival Carpet!

The 2016 BET Awards held on Sunday, June 26 did not disappoint. Besides being blown away by Beyonce and Kendrick Lamar’s opening number, performing their hit song together “Freedom” off of Bey’s Lemonade album, I was stoked to see she was wearing cornrows and individuals using wet and wavy hair extensions in a darker hue than usual for her. The auburn brownish tone set off perfectly for her earthy presentation.

It’s reminiscent of the look she used to wear when she was in the group Destiny’s Child back in the “Writings on the Walls” album days, right?
