Monáe looked to Roberto Cavalli’s fall 2022 rtw collection for the BET Awards, wearing a black draped, sheer dress accented with leather straps and a floral embellishment.

According to Monáe’s stylist Alexandra Mandelkorn, the singer’s red carpet look was partially a response to the Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which eliminated the constitutional right to an abortion after nearly 50 years. The stylist posted photos of Monáe on social media with the caption, “My body, my choice.”
