Brandy Norwood leads in lacy pin-striped dress while leggy Solange Knowles is interesting in multi-patterned number at the BET Upfronts

Brandy Norwood is clearly over the moon about her new show coming soon to BET, aptly titled Zoe Moon.

The 36-year-old actress was all style and sophistication too as she joined a roster of other stars celebrating the new program line-up at the BET Upfronts in New York City on Thursday.

Brandy wore a black dress that featured sheer lace long sleeves and more lace detail around the hem and a centre panel that was pin striped in white.

The clingy nature of the frock fit her curvaceous figure like a second skin and showcased her lean legs from the knees down.

Delicately strapped black heels gave her an extra lift as she posed on the arrivals line, sometimes with a hand on her hip and always with a flirty smile.

Zoe Moon casts Brandy as a 'live-out-loud newly single mom embarking on a new life and career as a fledgling cosmetics mogul,' as LATimes.com described.

Solange Knowles, 28, provided the entertainment in the DJ booth, looking daring in a multi-material formal featuring a front, leg-baring split.

The tight bust was accentuated by white edging that peeked provocatively around the cleavage while wedge-heeled tri-colour shoes completed the interesting picture.

Later on, Solange was seen rocking the house as event DJ in the dimly lit atmosphere.

'In the series, these singing hopefuls will vie their way to stardom with recording mogul Rowland helping them to find their voice as entertainers.'
