The 2018 BET Awards are coming up this Sunday at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles with artists like Nicki Minaj, 2 Chainz, Migos, and Meek Mill set to perform and Jamie Foxx taking the stage as the show’s host.
Join FN in turning the clock back 10 years to see what celebs like Rihanna and Solange wore on the BET Awards red carpet.
In ’08, Beyoncé’s younger sister didn’t let a toe injury stop her from rocking statement-making leopard print architectural platform sandals. The “A Seat at a Table” singer paired the sky-high style with a floral print one-shoulder minidress and a bag embellished with hot-pink feathers.

Despite sporting white medical tape around two of her toes, Solange’s shoes shined with their eye-catching print and even bolder cut-out platform silhouette.
