Did you catch the 2013 BET Awards in June? If not, we've got the most important scoop from the event right here: Gabby Douglas receiving the YoungStars Award!

Gabrielle Douglas, USA Olympic gymnast, took the BET Awards by storm this year. She walked away with the YoungStars award for her amazing accomplishments! BET wrote:

"Who knew so much power could come in a 4’11” package? The 16-year-old gymnast made the country proud when she became the first Black woman to bring home All-Around Olympic gold. Earlier this year, she published her first memoir, Grace, Gold and Glory: My Leap of Faith...Gabby Douglas has become a role model and inspiration for young people everywhere."

That's not all, though! Not only did she have some amazing accomplishments to show off, but she looked incredible, too. She walked the BET Red Carpet in Sherri Hill style 21016 in Black/Nude.

The gymnast looked so gorgeous in this two-toned Sherri Hill lace dress! The dramatic high-low skirt and floor-sweeping train showed off her bod so well, and we were especially amazed by how ripped her arms looked!

Her sleek bob and red lips were the perfect finishing touches to her look - so elegant and timeless, and definitely gold medal worthy.

Since the end of last year, hi-low dresses have been trending worldwide.  These flirtatious frocks feature a circular hemline that hangs low in the back and high (usually above knee level) in the front.  Since this style allows your legs some freedom, it’s perfect for a day strolling around town or a night on the dance floor.

Hi-lo dresses have become a popular summer trend for casual wear and have been spotted on celebs walking the red carpet at formal events.  The hi-lo skirt is so versatile it seems wearable for any occasion.  A simple hi-lo dress with a belt can be worn with sandals and a floppy beach hat for a glamorous summer look, while a frivolous version with a bit more flair can be paired with sexy stilettos for any formal event.

If you’re a fan of the hi-lo dress trend, there’s no doubt you’ll need the best style this Fall.  In order to rock this look for Homecoming 2012, make sure you find the perfect fit for you.  If you want to show off a lot of leg, aim for a hi-low dress with a ruffled skirt, which will act like an elaborate frame as you strut your stuff.  Going for a simpler, more classic look?  Check out an A-Line hi-lo dress that hangs delicately from your body.

When it comes to accessorizing your hi-lo dress for Homecoming it’s all about the shoes.  The raised hem at the front of dress means your shoes will definitely get noticed.  Make sure you pick a pair of high heels that fits you well and goes well with your dress.  Try to match the color of your hi-lo dress or find something complimentary.  Silver, black, or gold styles are usually a great choice, depending on the color of your gown.

This Homecoming season hi-lo dresses will become the most sought after dresses.  It's always tough picking out a Homecoming dress, having to choose between Prom Styles and less formal cocktail dresses.  With a hi-lo dress, you get the best of both worlds, in a style that's formal and fun.  The unique trend is hard to find though, so if you’re looking for a hi-lo dress that will turn heads at Homecoming 2012, you’d better start looking now!
