Coco Jones in Basil Soda Dress at BET Awards 2026

Coco Jones brought fiery energy in her Basil Soda-designed dress to the 2026 BET Awards red carpet on Sunday night in Los Angeles.

The Grammy Award-winning singer wore a look from the designer’s spring 2026 collection. The strapless gown was crafted with a bandeau-style bodice with a statement cutout beneath the bust.

Cutouts were a major motif for the dress, and were also featured at the hips for a symmetrical bent to the sensual design. Crisscross fabric at the waist provided tension and modernity to the look, while a semi-sheer skirt continued the sultry design inspiration.

As for accessories, Jones turned to Saint Laurent for her Cassandre embellished earrings, featuring tones of red, black and white. Further jewelry augmented the gown, with Jones accessorizing with gold bangles and bracelets and delicate rings.

Jones has turned into a fashion force on several red carpets over the last few years, the 2026 BET Awards acting as the singer’s latest showcase of her style acumen.

In May, the “Here We Go” singer attended the 2026 Met Gala for the second year in a row, having made her debut at the annual event in May 2025. For the 2026 edition of the event, Jones wore a Prabal Gurung dress.

Like her 2026 BET Awards attire, Jones’ 2026 Met Gala look featured a formfitting silhouette, though the look was more pared back in a shade of chocolate-brown, crafted in tulle fabric.

Hosted by comedian and internet personality Druski, the 2026 BET Awards were held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday night and honored the breakout Black creatives of the last year. The annual awards show celebrates writers, musicians, filmmakers and more, honoring and uplifting Black culture. Singer Lauryn Hill was honored with The Living Legend Icon Award, while “One Battle After Another” Oscar nominee Teyana Taylor was the recipient of the Icon of the Year Award.
