Multi-hyphenate rapper and “It Girl,” Dess Dior’s standout icy metallic look by designer Detailed Visionz at the BET Awards red carpet. The look combined flowing white draping materials, a veil-like hood that cascaded into an exposed back, and metallic bodywork. Prior to Dess attending the BET Awards on Sunday, she was fresh off the heels of an electrifying BETX Fan Fest main stage performance. She joined two of her collaborators, Mariah the Scientist and Belly Gang Kushington, for surprise appearances at their BETX sets as well.
LOOK DETAILS:
Styled by Alex Battant, along with co-stylist Ahj McNeil, the deep neckline reveals a silver crystal web-like embellishment covering the neck, chest, and torso like wearable jewelry, complementing her diamond earrings. The dress has a striking open back, oversized cape-like sleeves, and an asymmetrical tulip hem with overlapping panels. The silver lip highlight and metallic gladiator heels add an edgy, fashion-forward finish. Hairstylist Dre styled Dess’ iconic pixie style: a short black pixie cut styled with soft, side-swept bangs. Her warm glam with smokey eyes achieved by makeup artist Kiersten Brii completes the look flawlessly.
