Brandy Norwood, Solange Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Queen Latifah at the BET Upfronts

Brandy Norwood leads in lacy pin-striped dress while leggy Solange Knowles is interesting in multi-patterned number at the BET Upfronts

Brandy Norwood is clearly over the moon about her new show coming soon to BET, aptly titled Zoe Moon.
The 36-year-old actress was all style and sophistication too as she joined a roster of other stars celebrating the new program line-up at the BET Upfronts in New York City on Thursday.
Brandy wore a black dress that featured sheer lace long sleeves and more lace detail around the hem and a centre panel that was pin striped in white.

The clingy nature of the frock fit her curvaceous figure like a second skin and showcased her lean legs from the knees down.
Delicately strapped black heels gave her an extra lift as she posed on the arrivals line, sometimes with a hand on her hip and always with a flirty smile.
Zoe Moon casts Brandy as a 'live-out-loud newly single mom embarking on a new life and career as a fledgling cosmetics mogul,' as LATimes.com described.

Solange Knowles, 28, provided the entertainment in the DJ booth, looking daring in a multi-material formal featuring a front, leg-baring split.
The tight bust was accentuated by white edging that peeked provocatively around the cleavage while wedge-heeled tri-colour shoes completed the interesting picture.
Later on, Solange was seen rocking the house as event DJ in the dimly lit atmosphere.

'In the series, these singing hopefuls will vie their way to stardom with recording mogul Rowland helping them to find their voice as entertainers.'

NAACP Image Awards Red Carpet photos including Lupita Nyong'o, Oprah and Kerry Washington + Winners List

Lupita Nyong'o and Oprah Winfrey duke it out in the style stakes at the NAACP Image Awards... but the newcomer claims victory with yet another Supporting Actress win

The 2014 awards season It girl Lupita Nyong'o has yet to put a foot wrong as she struts her stuff on the red carpet.
With the world's top designers clamouring to dress her, it's certainly little wonder why.
On Saturday night, the 12 Years A Slave star knocked it out of the park once more as she slipped into a stunning burnt orange Givenchy number with sexy plunging neckline for the 45th NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) Image Awards.
Scroll down for the complete list of Motion Picture and Television category winners
Great minds! Lupita Nyong'o (left) and Oprah Winfrey showed off their unique styles in two very different but similarly hued burnt orange gowns as they hit the red carpet at the 45th NAACP Image Awards at LA's Pasadena Civic Auditorium on Saturday

The 30-year-old showed off her lean and toned physique in the two-tone pleated dress with cinched waist, which she paired with matching strappy stilettos and clutch, also by Givenchy, and mani-pedi.
The Kenyan beauty completed her look with gold accessories in the form of a large cuff and dangling earrings, and played up her eyes with contrasting bronze-hued make-up, while she opted for a glossy orangey-red lipstick.
Her hair was worn in two fun and youthful bun-like mounds atop her head with a centre part.
Not her best look: The 60-year-old was more modestly covered than her counterpart in her unusual three-quarter-sleeve buttoned-up number with organza patchwork-like detail and matching choppy, layered skirt

But the newcomer wasn't the only one who chose the standout hue for the event, held at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Los Angeles.
Veteran talk show host and actress Oprah Winfrey proved likeminded as she also donned the flattering colour, though unsurprisingly the 60-year-old flashed significantly less flesh than her counterpart.
The Lee Daniels' The Butler star displayed a more mature style in a three-quarter-sleeve button-up belted number with unusual organza patchwork-like detail and matching choppy layered skirt, while she stuck to her signature voluminous curly 'do and complementary natural make-up.

However, it's not all over for Oprah, with the fan favourite being presented with the Entertainer Of The Year award at tonight's event.
