From the wildly outrageous to the barely there, fashion was an abundant statement to be made at the BET Awards held on June 29th in Los Angeles.  Although not a night for the most positive fashion consistencies, there was one BET Awards Red Carpet look: long white dresses, that took us by surprise. Even though not all the participants of this trend qualified as "best dressed," we are quite pleased with the overall outcome and fashion success of this awards show.

Our first long white dress of the evening we loved was worn by the American model and recording artist Amber Rose. Usually on the provocative side, we were pleased to see the lovely Miss Amber covered in a classy, long sleeve, white gown with metallic belt. With minimal makeup, she looked more gorgeous than ever!

Former "America's Next Top Model," Eva Marcille really lit up the red carpet in a white-hot gown too! The actress/model chose a long sleeve, fitted gown with cut outs at the shoulders and sides, which hugged her body perfectly without being overly sexy.

Another stunning beauty to choose a long white frock was none other than Paris Hilton. Known for her epic fashion choices, she definitely  grabbed the attention of cameras and the show's host, Chris Rock, as he poked fun at her dress' excessive keyhole neckline. Even though it was very sexy, we loved the long white beaded gown, with front slit and intricate cut outs. She is still young, beautiful, and the gown looked very "Old Hollywood" on her! Perfect with her white cat-eye shades, she was ready to have a night of fun!

Sherri Hill 32027 Ivory Long Dress

If we were going to an awards show in a long white gown, we would probably go for something sexy, glamorous, and very statement worthy! One of our choices would be Sherri Hill 32027 jersey evening gown with lace side panels and long sleeves. A dress so dramatic, yet elegant while still capturing the right amount of sex appeal!

Do you have a favorite dress worn by one of the ladies pictured above?

Looking glamorous and glowing, Gina Rodriguez wears couture Mac Duggal to the Critics' Choice Television Awards.

The Mac Duggal style 82098D she wore features a sexy plunging neckline along with a bodice encrusted with an assortment of gorgeous sequins and stones. The elegant lace provides vintage elegance, while the bouncy skirt keeps it modern and girly. We love this dress!

Gina has also joined the cast of the upcoming drama film Sticky Notes. Despite her busy schedule, Ms. Rodriguez did have time to present at this fabulous awards show and she looked better than ever!

Presenting with fellow CW star, Kat Graham of "The Vampire Diaries," Gina completely lights up the stage in her Couture Mac Duggal gown! We have to give credit to Gina's super savvy styling team,  Lauren Rodriguez and Griselle Marilyn Lima of The Society Style Page for picking such a red carpet worthy frock! The perfectly romantic tousled waves along with minimal accessories put all the emphasis on Gina's glowing skin and gown! Perfection! Do you love Gina's look as much as we do?

She said, "More awareness [of the issue] is very important so that women can learn to protect themselves...I learned from a young age that you need to be confident and able to defend yourself, and I think that's something that we should really start to implement for a lot of women." We couldn't agree more!

Celebrity promposals are all the rage lately, and yet another celeb delivers on an night to remember for one lucky prom-goer: Shaun White! High schooler Carly Monzo came up with such a creative idea to ask the Olympian and pro snowboarder to prom: by using a staple in the snowboarding industry, a GoPro! Carly smartly even named her promposal after the camera, with the name GoProm. So cute!

You can watch an overview of the promposal here:

http://youtu.be/_Wzajq741yE

We were so happy to hear that Shaun White took time out if his busy schedule to surprise Carly at her prom! ABC had the scoop, and this is what they said:

"A month ago, the Montgomery County senior at Mount Saint Joseph Academy in Flourtown, and her friends got creative.

Monzo posted a video proposal online but got no response from the busy pro snowboarder, skateboarder and musician until Friday night.

A couple hours into her prom at Whitemarsh Valley Country Club, there was a special performance.

"Curtains drop and the band just starts jamming and I was like, 'Oh my goodness," said Monzo.

White appeared on stage in his tux and with his band, Bad Things. They performed three songs and invited Monzo on stage.

"To be honest with you if there wasn't pictures or video evidence, I would have thought I had a dream," she said.

The Olympian lit up social media, snapping photos with dozens of students before revealing how he made a secret trip from Austria just to surprise Monzo.

"It was really about being there with my friends, my whole entire grade got to share this moment with me and it was so awesome," she said."

So cool! Click here to read the full story and see more pictures.
