If you take a look at the photos below, it may come as no surprise that Gabrielle Union was considered one of the worst dressed at this year’s BET Awards. She hit the red carpet at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on Sunday with Kerry Washington, Paris Hilton, and numerous other celebrities.

The 41-year-old actress was nominated for Best Actress at the award ceremony, going up against Kerry Washington (winner), Lupita Nyong’o, Oprah Winfrey, and Angela Bassett.

Gabrielle Union donned a Grecian-inspired gown from the Maria Lucia Hohan 2014 Fall collection featuring sheer black paneling on the bodice. For reasons that no one can understand, she styled the dress with thigh-high black boots. She accessorized with Pomellato earrings.
