The worlds of music and fashion have always gone hand-in-hand; after all, look at practically any musician, from Lady Gaga to Lil Wayne, and it’s evident that knowing a thing or two about how to look has helped advance their careers. So then it made sense several years back when BET launched their now-annual fashion show-meets-concert, “Rip the Runway.”


This epic evening featured artists performing as models showcase the hottest new looks. And last night, Rip the Runway returned as its 2012 edition was held at NYC’s Hamersmith Ballroom. Throughout the night, audiences and viewers alike were treated to hot new clothes as well as live jams by the likes of B.o.B., Wale, Meek Mill and Lil Kim. 

Also, former Victoria's Secret angel and style icon Selita Ebanks debuted her very own swimsuit line on this eighth installment of BET's Rip the Runway.
