Yung Miami's fashion deserves some good love.
The rapper stunned at the 2024 BET Awards on June 30, strutting the red carpet in a daring black cutout gown. And her risqué top and semi-sheer skirt weren't the only parts of her outfit with a unique flair: She also donned two-fingered black gloves to complete the edgy look.

This year's BET Awards could be a big night for Miami—who confirmed her breakup with Sean "Diddy" Combs last year—as she scored a nomination for Best Collaboration alongside Lola Brooke and Latto for "Don't Play With It (Remix)."
The trio are up against Lil' Durk and J.Cole ("All My Life"); Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar ("America Has A Problem (Remix)"); Nicki Minaj, Ice Spice and Aqua ("Barbie World"); Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion ("Bongos"); Y$, Ye, Ty Dolla $ign, Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti ("Carnival"); Nicki Minaj and Lil Uzi Vert ("Everybody"); Usher, Summer Walker and 21 Savage ("Good Good"); and Drake, Sexyy Red and SZA ("Rich Baby Daddy").
And while Miami's music has created some controversial moments in the past—including calling out 14 celebrities in her 2021 song "RAP FREAKS"—she does it all for the sake of her art.
“I just felt like it was going to be a moment in hip hop, so it was something that I went into the studio wanting to do,” she told Billboard at the time. “I’ve been thinking long and hard on it. I hope everyone just takes it as a song… I feel like I’m not being disrespectful to nobody or dissing nobody. It’s just a fun song I wanted to do and recreate what some of the legends did before me. I’m just being an artist.”
