Patti LaBelle won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BET Awards on Sunday night.
Chris Brown may have been the big winner of Sunday night’s BET Awards, but Patti LaBelle was the queen of the ceremony.
The legendary singer was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award — and was feted with an all-star tribute courtesy of Cee Lo Green (who dressed as LaBelle in a spiky dark wig), Marsha Ambrosius and Shirley Caesar.
Then LaBelle took the stage herself to show everyone how it’s done.
The 67-year-old icon — who accepted the prestigious award from Gladys Knight — performed a medley of her hits including “Lady Marmalade.”
Beyonce, who honored LaBelle via satellite because she’s headlining England’s Glastonbury Festival, described the impact the singer had on her own musical aspirations.
“When anyone asks me who I want to be like, I always say Patti LaBelle,” she said.
