The 2026 BET Awards brought out some of the biggest names in entertainment, and Fashion Bomb Daily was on the scene capturing exclusive interviews with celebrities, influencers, and style stars. From Ari Fletcher and Yung Miami to Eva Marcille and more, our red carpet conversations covered fashion, career milestones, and what Fashion Bomb Daily means to the culture. Watch the highlights below and catch some of the best moments from an unforgettable weekend.

Yung Miami said that her dress was inspired by the Miami Sunset. She added that her song Spend Dat was, “For the hood. I’m so happy to see people having fun and enjoying themselves.”

Eva Marcille talked about her big chop and her cute Muehleder outfit.

Ari Fletcher gave us the rundown on her vintage Roberto Cavalli outfit and Jimmy Choo shoes.

Mya showcased her all black look because she said it was, “Clean, collected, classic, black. Black is beautiful and timeless.”

Chelley offered tips to Love Island future contestants.

Kordell and Serena offered a bit of relationship advice.

When asked about the state of female rap, Salt from Salt N Pepa said, “When we were coming up, there were way more of a variety of voices and things that were being expressed as women. There’s so much more to us. Lauryn Hill was the consciousness, Salt n Pepa was fun, fashion and femininity, Missy Elliott was the innovator, Queen Latifah was the Queen. As proud as I am that women are still doing their thing, I’d love for the pendulum to swing in the middle a little bit more. Get a little more voices that are being celebrated.” Agreed!

Monaleo was being rushed, but she had to stop by and show some love.

Kym Whitley said the key to longevity was being nice and willing to recreate yourself.

Last, but not least, we asked everyone what Fashion Bomb Daily means to them. Behold, some of our favorite responses from Dess Dior, Pretty Vee, Swaelee, and more:

Readers were having a great conversation this morning about which bags they like to carry and what proportion they should be to your body. I totally agree, but I also think a lot of it comes down to what you want to CARRY in your bag — I dislike super small bags because what are you even carrying in there? We haven’t had a good “what’s in your bag” discussion for a while, so let’s talk about it today.

I’ve really (really) reduced my reliance on purses since the pandemic… part of that is my kids getting older so I have to carry less stuff, and part of that is working from home. When I do anything beyond my usual minimal makeup I tend to just stick whichever lipstick I’m going to use in my pocket… and I always have pockets. In the winter all of my coats have a lip gloss in the pocket as well as a few loose tissues because #fancy.

So my bag is really extremely limited right now. I have one makeup-sized pouch (I think it actually came with an old MZ Wallace bag) that I move from bag to bag.

• my slim wallet, which just fits 6 cards and folded cash and checks
• a lipgloss or two
• a tiny pill case (mine is ancient from the Container Store I think, but this one looks great if you’re hunting for similar)
• a pen (ideally G2)
• a concealer (this elf one was such a great dupe for Touche L’Eclat but I think elf has stopped making it)
• ideally a hair elastic but those tend to go missing, ha… here it’s wrapped around a really thin mirror that I got from an alumni event, and have to add to my purse because I’m more or less blind without my glasses

The bag itself is from Rothy’s, from a few years ago (this looks similar) — I have a few of their nylon bags and they’re super lightweight, durable, and washable. They don’t have a ton of interior pockets, but because I keep most things in my little pouch that’s fine. This one is on the smaller side, but it fits the few things I want it to so I’m happy with — I have something from them that is closer in size to Rothy’s Daily crossbody also and it’s got room for a lot more stuff in it.

Also in the bag right now I have one of the beautiful Ficcare clips (flatter and more durable than a claw clip!), a bunch of random old receipts and coupons we got at an allergy appointment, and I usually have at least a sample or two of things I’ve picked up at my dermatology appointments and then forgotten to empty. There’s room for keys, sunglasses if I need to wear them, and my phone if I need to stash it somewhere other than a pocket. That’s really all I want, and yet a lot of the bags I see right now are too small for that.

When we travel I do pull out one of my bigger bags — I still love my old MZ Wallace (really similar!) if we’re going on a big trip because it’s lightweight and has a zillion pockets. Then I’ll pack more inane things for the kids (I have recently used a folding stainless steel straw we got when they were small!), a sunscreen stick for reapplications, a hat, bandaids, a Nalgene bottle, sometimes even folded rain ponchos or ear plugs or a few granola bars or other shelf-stable snacks.

Readers, what about you — what do you keep in your bag? Do you carry a purse AND a tote if you’re heading to work, or do you have a pouch system similar to mine? What bag are you carrying today?

I don’t know if it’s being surrounded by the landscape of Europe, or being out in the countryside, that really makes you stop and smell the flowers. They spill from window boxes, climb stone walls, frame café terraces, and seem to appear around every corner. Even a walk to dinner feels more romantic when you’re passing blooms at every turn.

The moment I saw this set, I instantly pictured myself taking a walk in the garden, perhaps amongst the roses of a villa. That feeling is what inspired this edit of floral sets, embroidered skirts and printed tops that look as though they belong somewhere with open windows. They feel pretty and a little enchanting, vivid but still easy, made for a whole range of occasions. 

African fashion is once again taking center stage in Paris.

Through July 8, Africa Now has returned to Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann for its second edition, transforming the iconic department store into a destination for contemporary African design. Located on the third floor beneath the landmark Coupole, the pop-up features a curated selection of ready-to-wear, handbags, jewelry, and accessories from 11 designers representing the richness, diversity, and innovation of fashion across the African continent.

The opening celebration drew an impressive crowd of fashion insiders and tastemakers, including Grammy Award-winning artist Angélique Kidjo, international model Maria Borges, former Miss Côte d’Ivoire Olivia Yacé, Chioma Ikokwu, Tenicka B, and Candace Marie, underscoring the growing global interest in African fashion and its influence on luxury retail.

This year’s edition was curated in collaboration with Adama Paris, CANEX x Tranoï, and Africa Fashion Up x Studio Ka, bringing together a dynamic mix of established labels and rising talent. Designers featured in the showcase include Adama Paris, Ibrahim Fernandez, Sisters of Afrika, Christie Brown, Late For Work, Judy Sanderson, We Are NBO, Vanhu Vamwe, Eric Raisina, Kwiyiah Style, and Talua.

Together, the collections highlight the breadth of African creativity, combining heritage craftsmanship with contemporary silhouettes, innovative textiles, and modern storytelling. The exhibition reflects the continued rise of African designers on the international fashion stage while offering Paris shoppers the opportunity to discover brands that are helping shape the future of global fashion.

Africa Now is open through July 8, 2026, at Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann, located at 40 Boulevard Haussmann in Paris.
