Though BET’s “Black Girls Rock” special won’t air until November 3, taping for the show dedicated to honoring exceptional women of color happened this weekend at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, NJ. This year’s two-hour event will honor entertainment icons Patti LaBelle, Queen Latifah and tennis icon Venus Williams, among others. With so much star power in the house, we just had to give you a preview of the amazing coifs glimpsed during last Saturday’s taping. Here, check out who rocked the “Black Girls Rock” red carpet…
