2026 BET Awards: Eva Marcille Brings Back Her Blonde Pixie Era

BET star and America’s Next Top Model legend Eva Marcille was one of the first celebrities to arrive. And our good Sis wasted no time shutting down the carpet.

The model, entrepreneur and influencer debuted a brand-new blonde pixie cut that instantly reminded us of her iconic America’s Next Top Model days. The warm honey-blonde shade perfectly complemented her glowing melanin, making the fresh cut one of our favorite beauty moments of the night.

Eva paired the hairstyle with a green mini dress featuring an exaggerated collar and dramatic sash detail. Her hair is giving. Eva’s beauty is giving. And her style is unmatched.

10 out of 10 plus 10, Eva.
