Sha'Carri Richardson dazzled as she attended the 2023 BET Awards on Sunday, June 25, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California.
Established in 2001 by Black Entertainment Television, the BET Awards celebrates black and other minority entertainers in music, film, sports, and philanthropy. This year, Richardson attended the event not just as a spectator as she was nominated for the Sportswoman of the Year award.
The other nominees for the award include Allyson Felix, Angel Reese, Candace Parker, Naomi Osaka, and Serena Williams. In the end, American college basketball player Reese took home the honors.
Richardson later took to social media to post a few pictures and a video of her at the event, in which she can be seen wearing a black mesh gown with a thigh-high split. A sleek high ponytail and long nails added to her allure.
Earlier this month, she had expressed delight at being nominated for the award and said:
"God’s approval is all the only award I need but it’s an honor to be amongst these amazing beautiful black women to be a nominee for this award !!! Pluss YALL SEE ALL THEM LADIES TIGERS"
