Andra Day Wore Vintage Glam To The 2016 BET Awards

by Mariah Carrillo

This year's outfit is a real stunner for Andra Day at the 2016 BET Awards. The soulful R&B newcomer, whose first album Cheers To The Fall debuted in 2015, is nominated at BET for the Best Female R&B/Pop Award, and her glamorous red carpet look deserves a prize of its own. On June 26, Day showcased her signature retro/old Hollywood style with a gorgeous, vintage-esque sequined gown, Moschino pumps in a bold purple hue, and Ardell Lashes . Talk about an old-school diva!

Although Day may be relatively new to the spotlight, her stirring performance with Ellie Goulding at the 2016 Grammy Awards, where she was nominated for both Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Album, helped bring the singer's retro-soul sound and glamorous look into the spotlight, and tonight's stunning appearance has only heightened Day's shine.

This sophisticated style statement shows that Day knows her way around a sexy, statement-making gown, and can this songstress do eyeliner or what? Talk about a femme-tastic beauty look. It's the perfect mix of quirky fun and vintage elegance. The singer's short, curly bob and classic red lip pull everything together for a iconic and pretty ensemble. I also have to applaud her for that hue, because few would be so bold.

What do you think of Day's appearance on the music and fashion scene? I for one want to see (and hear) much more from this rising talent in the near future.
