Celebrities always seem to bring their most daring and unexpected looks on the red carpet. And while we love a bold color or floor-length tresses, we always get excited when we see our favorite ladies rock any dope protective styles on the carpet. At this year’s BET Awards we saw locs, braids and cornrows galore. Below we’ve rounded up our favorite natural and protective styles from the evening.
