Alicia Keys was positively glowing at the 10th Annual BET Awards -- and for good reason.

Not only did the 29-year-old songstress pick up the first honor of the night for Best Female R&B Artist, beating out Beyonce, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, and Melanie Fiona, she was also sporting a huge rock from her super-producer fiancé Swizz Beatz and an adorable baby bump that she showed off throughout the night.

During the star-studded award show Keys, who told "Good Morning America" that she's "right about" at five months pregnant, swapped costumes on a few occasions.

First the singer donned a white floor-length gown with Grecian draping in the front, which partially disguised her growing belly, then the multi-Grammy Award winner changed into a purple satin strapless minidress with a gathered bodice by Dolce & Gabbana to perform a medley of her greatest hits.

During the performance, Keys didn't let her pregnancy slow her down as she strutted around the stage in bright pink patent leather platform pumps and the playful dress.

A Dolce & Gabbana spokesperson tells StyleList that the dress was specially fitted for the New York-bred star.

Keys also stepped out in the dress to accept the award for Best Collaboration for her "Empire State of Mind" hit collaboration with Jay-Z before changing into another Dolce & Gabbana ensemble -- a black corset with fringe detail and matching leggings -- for her second performance of the night.

Other notable style happenings of the evening include Best Female Hip-Hop Artist winner Nicki Minaj in a bright orange wig and vintage Rochas ballgown, Jada Pinkett Smith in a jumper so tiny it looked like underwear, and Kanye West ditching his shirt altogether.

Baby bump.....can't we do away with that stupid term. She's fat and pregnant that's all. At least she isn't wearing a skin tight top that barely covers that beastly gut and causes everyone to practically gag looking at that thing.

Why would anyone want a day to day inch by inch coverage of Keys' illegitimate "baby bumP" (geez I hate this term). Just what we need another bad role model for young teens, and wonder why teenage pregnancies continue to be high. And I thought Keys was a lesbian, then she broke up a marriage allegedly, now she's "madonna" with child. Stop the hump coverage.

Baby bump is a british saying. I think it's sweet term for a wonderful occasion.

Alicia keys is going to be huge before this pregnancy is over, some of the outfits she has been wearing make her look wide and IMHO i think she was trying way to hard last night; with her raspy voice Adore was the worst Prince song (my favorite) she could have chosen and she looked ridiculous on the piano.

Also, she is a hypocrite; she is no different than Leanne Rhimes or any of the other celebrities who have broken up homes.

I agree with Dianne above.

Ah Duh! Did everyone forget that this trick broke up a family and now is having a baby by the women's husband. It never seems to amaze me of what money can buy.

Some people are just rude. Shes not fat its called being pregnant, chris. Being pregnant is beautiful and an amazing thing. I would love to see you try and go through what every pregnant women goes through. But your probably not man enough to handle it... I think she looks great and I wish her all the happiness in the world.

I love Alicia Keys, she looks very pretty and happy pregnant. If Swizz Beatz is what is making her happy, everyone should stop hating, its her life. Alicia was glowing at the BET Awards. You go girl.

No matter Alicia will always be my favorite singer.

Great! She's 5 months pregnant. HE'S NOT DIVORCED. He has other children by his baby mamma. If this were a white chick you people would be going buck wild! That's why THEY KEEP DOING IT!! His own people said she's been on the low with him since 2007. I loved her before this. Now I can't stand her. And she's all up in there so proud. Broke up a marriage, another baby won't have his daddy around because this PIG COULDN'T KEEP AWAY FROM A MARRIED MAN who she'll end up supporting the rest of her marriage. Scratch that. SHE'S NOT MARRIED TO TO. I doubt that will EVER happen. KARMA's gonna be a bitch to you Keyes. Clive must be real proud of you

I don't like the term "baby bump" either. It's inelegant. But I think she's looking good. I have trouble imagining running around in heels when 5 months pregnant. I agree with others who are less than keen on her being in a relationship with a married man. Of course they're both to blame.
