According to some fashion critics, Marsai Martin dressed way too mature for a 14-year-old at the 2019 BET Awards at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

She picked up the Young Stars Award and took to the stage to thank family and fans.

“Thank you so much. Of course, thank you BET, God of course. Thank you for every single day that I am breathing. I’m just so fortunate for wonderful parents,” she said.

“I love you guys thank you so much. I thank my family, my friends. Thank you for the young black girls that inspire me to keep moving forward for them.”

The Black-ish actress chose a Romona Keveža Fall 2017 antique gold brocade dress with a sweetheart neckline, though some felt it didn’t fit her age or body shape perfectly. She accessorized with jewelry from Hearts On Fire, Csarite by Karin Jamieson, Katie Diamond, and Erica Courtney.

Marsai showed off her feet in black satin sandals from Giuseppe Zanotti adorned with a “Bow” application. In January 2019, Heidi Klum wore the same sandals in a different color at the InStyle And Warner Bros. Golden Globes After Party.
