When it comes to awards shows, the red carpet fashion is almost as important as who actually wins the awards. And Rihanna brought her fashion A-game to the 2008 BET Awards last night.

The Good Girl Gone Bad arrived on the pre-show red carpet looking amazing in a floor-length cleavage-baring yellow multi-tiered gown.

Turning heads everywhere she walked, the “Umbrella” singer was more than happy to indulge the clamoring paparazzi with a few hot poses before making her way inside the Shrine Auditorium.

Once inside, Rihanna changed into a fashion-forward black stage ensemble before delivering a remarkable performance, a highlight of the entire night.
