Janelle Monae wore an illusive dress to the 2022 BET Awards on Sunday in Los Angeles.
The singer has been extremely busy this month thanks to Pride, but regardless of that fact, Monae still managed to pull off an amazing look.

Monae stepped onto the carpet in a see-through gown by Roberto Cavalli. The dress was comprised of a strappy bodice with multiple leather straps that recalled BDSM style. The star wore a black velvety tube top under the harness, the top adorned with large black rose applique. The harness wrapped around the star’s waist just below the chest and connected to the skirt with little silver clasps.
The skirt was made of a sheer black fabric that draped and cascaded down the singer’s form. Monae accessorized with black and silver bangles, a chunky silver ring, and dangling silver earrings.
Monae also wore black platform heels with peep-toe detailing, giving the star an extra boost. Monae has always been a fan of pushing the fashion envelope and this look is no exception.
