At the BET Awards, Marlo Hampton stole the limelight not only for her freethinking red carpet crawl but also for commissioning a stylish plus-one, her handsome nephew. Hampton, the fashionista, posted a snippet of an unforgettable sunset with the caption, “Not a nominee, just the moment🏆 The BET carpet was insane. p.s. I had the most handsome date💙!”

The picture shows Hampton, confidently posing in front of a bright floral backdrop and an ‘BET AWARDS’ signage, wearing a stellar Roberto Cavalli with a daring cutout and slit. The luxurious ambiance filled with luscious pink and magenta flowers seemed worthy of Hampton’s label, ‘the moment.’
But then, who stole the limelight? Hampton’s nephew, all dolled up in a sharp wardrobe and absolutely winning in the presence of his stylish aunt! Fans got smitten by the duo and poured praise in the comments below, “I see what she’s doing for that boy’s future 😍😍😍🔥🔥,” said one user; another chimed in, “Yes you did. Both of you look AMAZING! I love this for him!”
Much of the mushy love reflected Hampton’s decision to bring her nephew along. One commenter mused, “I love that your baby is your date❤️. So sweet.” Others went on to applaud the styling, stating, “One of best looks of the night! Simple! Chic! Spicy! And sweet!!”
Another post gave credits to the glam team: Drew Visions on capture, Brandy Allen on makeup, and Kendra’s Boutique on hair. The stylish finishing touches were Bag by New Bottega and shoes by Giuseppe Zanotti.
Hampton has already been cemented in Atlanta social circles for public philanthropy and private style long before the sheer press of appearances, but this one was an extra special for the Awards, not just for fashion but for a shared family moment.
