Rihanna had blast in Vegas.

Soon to be married couple The Dream and Christina Milian kicked it in Vegas for the 4th.

 

 

Jay-Z was the real reason so many celebs spent the 4th in Vegas. The rapper rocked the house on both nights.

update: fashion hits and misses on the b.e.t. red carpet

Contrary to most of the night's attendees, Alicia Keys looked ravishing in this Jenny Packham mini and $1200 bejeweled Christian Louboutin sandals.

Beyonce looked very cute in her mini, but…

Didn't Kanye just spend $5000 on Amber? Maybe she should have just asked for one dress to wear to the event. The dress is Alexander McQueen.

I'm not very found of Keri's dress. Maybe it's the hair.

I know you're laughing, but this is actually pretty good compared to what Lil Mama wore last year.

Typical Neyo

It's the B.E.T Awards Tyra, not a business meeting. Loosen up.

Ciara looks super sexy in this leather ruched dress.

Diddy looking debonair as usual.

Taraji rocked the red carpet in this backless Kaufman Franco dress.

Zoe Saldana always knows the perfect look to rock at any event. Here she is in Calvin Klein cut-out dress and those Brian Atwood that she heels that she loves.

Rumors were that Ciara’s electric blue Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder got repoed. But, here she is in LA shopping on Robertson Blvd and looking quite good.

- Beyonce or Ciara?
