Jamie Foxx & His Daughter Anelise Foxx Walk The BET Awards Red Carpet Together
Last night, stars gathered at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California, for the 2026 annual BET Awards, held by the prestigious Black Entertainment Television network.
The ceremony, which honors achievements in Black culture across various media, including music, television, and film, brought out a lot of notable faces this year, including the actor, musician, and comedian Jamie Foxx. The actor performed on stage with singer Kehlani, playing the piano and contributing vocals during her song, "Folded." As a special surprise, his 17-year-old daughter, who rarely makes appearances with him, sat beside him and played the guitar. The father-daughter duo also walked the red carpet together, wearing coordinating black and white looks.
The Django Unchained star wore a sleek, all-black Gucci suit, while the teenage artist wore a baggy, oversized black suit paired with an untucked white shirt underneath and a black bowtie. Underneath her voluminous curly hair, she wore a shiny black pair of shades that acted like a mask that covered her eyes and added an element of mystery.
Social Media Users Slam Anelise's Red Carpet Look
After pictures and videos of the comedian and his teenage daughter were shared on social media, there were many supportive fans of his who commented on how much they loved seeing them together. A lot of people especially loved seeing them perform on stage together during the ceremony.
However, Anelise's outfit struck a nerve with numerous social media users and fashion enthusiasts, as they thought the baggy suit was unflattering, and found the addition of the eye mask to be strange and unsettling, leaving critical comments on platforms like Instagram.
"She looks awful with her hair over the shades and those baggy clothes," commented an Instagram user.
"That's ridiculous," another user wrote.
One user commented that the outfit made the teenager look like a "super weird nepo baby," as another asked, "How does she even see?"
"Why are her eyes covered?" asked another.
