Beyoncé's Canary Yellow Couture Gown at 2012 BET Awards: Gotta Have It or Make It Stop?!

Beyoncé Knowles may have won a Best Female R&B Artist Award, but we aren't so sure about this Couture draped gown she chose to wear for the 2012 BET Awards

We can't even blame nepotism for this one.

In the past, Beyoncé has poured, bolted and squeezed herself into some truly terrifying outfits, many of them the spawn of evil mastermind mom Tina Knowles. But this riot of cruel sunshine, worn to the BET Awards this past weekend, had nothing to do with the singer's mother...

In fact the dress is Stéphane Rolland Couture.

We'll also name Mrs. Z's accessories in our police report even though, on their own, they look like innocent bystanders swallowed by a flock of military-trained attack canaries: Givenchy shoes, Lorraine Schwartz earrings and a whimsical, multicolored belt that we actually like.

On some other outfit we haven't met yet.

If anyone has a pair of scissors handy, there may be a way we can redeem this look. And by scissors, we mean Jaws of Life.

Do you agree? Is this Grecian gown a fashion fail or have we missed something? Tell us below!
