Beyonce - Perfection, beautiful face and pretty dress.
Iman - Flawless as usual
J-Lo - I like the blue dress but I think maybe another color would have been better.
David Beckem - Whewwwwwwwwwwww That is a fine white man….. *smh*

Why did I think Venus was New York from Flavor of Love???? Venus dont let Andre do your make up again… Thats not his cup of tea….
Zoe - Such a pretty face stuck in an horrible dress….
Joi Bryant - Is another sequal to Austin Powers coming out?
Fergie - Oh no honey… um um… not liking it at all.

Mary and Fergie look terrible, the black just was not doing it for them. OMG Thandie Newton looks fabulous, not too many could pull that off but she did it! Mary and Janet look boring…. Victoria Beckham looks about 90 years here, yikes! I am on the fence about Kimora and Katie, love Iman though….Zoe and Venus look improved (except Venus with the hair), overall my girl Thandie looks the best here

JLo looks great! I just love her style.
Iman looks flawless, love that color red on her.
Paula and Robin are just too cute.

Victoria looks firce although she could have over do it with the face make up
David Beckham…. damn he is to fine
Mary needs to leave those damn blond wigs alone they do nothing for her.
Iman knows how to do the damn thing.
And why does Marc always look like hes on drugs, like his just sniffed a line of coke.

Everyone looks good, Bey is looking more and more like tacky Tina everyday (Her mama). She look a little plain but nice, clearly no baby bump. Mary need to take blonde wig off and give it a rest. She has been rockin that blonde hair for over a decade and someone need to tell her to stop. Kimora should have went to the gym because she is looking a little on the chubby side (ie. her back, and neck). Janet is the winner for the night, I love JLo but I am not digging the dress. Iman one word “FLAWLESS”. Andre Leon Talley two words ” Fall back”. Joy Bryant needs “Help” , and Zoe look like one of the Olson twins.

Katie- Leave those colors for Syracuse.
Victoria looks like David’s mother. So does Fergie.
Zoe looks great! Vintage 20s and 30s.
Mary’s dress is wearing her instead of her wearing that dress.

Boy these red carpet lights were very unforgiving….Fergie looks seriously weird and Beyonce looks like some eager plain jane who was given an Armani gown and cute clutch. JLo’s dress is doing nothing for her… Posh’s dress looks like it’s still on the rack. Eva Langoria’s dress looks like the one Penelope Cruz wore to the Oscars in 07 and the one Cameron Diaz wore to this same event last year… Wow, I’m sooooo underwhelmed…

Well not all the women look stunning, I take that back…
Victoria Beckham look like she came from the morgue
Joy Bryant’s dress is a leftover from the Dreamgirl set
Zoe you know I love you but I ain’t feelin’ the fingerwaves, I love the pink spray in the back better
Bill Marh’s date must be in one of the Ghetto Booty Vol 19 porns…but you ain’t heard that from me
Why is Andre Talley always have that dracula cape?
54.
What a lovely sunny day...!

Awwww everyone looks so nice (well almost everyone). Eva’s dress is a killer!!! Love that color and the daring-ness of the dress! Paula Patton and Robin Thicke look soooo cute! I love them! Bill Mahn clearly is paying his date by the hour! And my girl Beyonce always brings the fab-ness! She’s still got her wedding glow (or a fresh spray tan)!

Thandie Newton looks…wow….I don’t even have the words. She’s my favorite among all the pictures.
Where is Beyonce’s weave? She looks great without it.

Where in the hell do Bill Maher get his women from? The stroll on Hollywood Sunset! She looks like he just pick her up from her post. LOL!
And Katie just looks like she is so tried of Tommy. He looks like he talks to much. LOL! She can’t pull that dress of with those shoes, the shade of the orange need to be with a darker blue shoe, if you going to wear that color.
Everyone else look nice.

Victoria Beckham looks stupid…..
Joy Bryant looks like a Mayan Aztec….
Beyonce I’ve seen this dress style on you too many times now in these pastel colors..its nice but still. That school marm bun is not working for her either, that hair should have been snatched back and tight for a more polished look.
Fergie is giving me all types of Elvyra and I love it!
Zoe looks wondeful!
Thandie, Iman, Eva and Venus look stellar!

I’m loving 25’s answer cuz they kept it kinda real…
Do you not see Bill Maher’s date? Angel didn’t mention her in the “What Were They Wearing” section….
So I’ll tell ya’ll what she was wearing….
Bill Maher’s Date- El Swap Me’et
And why the hell Kate put them Electric Blue shoes on with that ugly ass orange dress?
smh
Thandie Newton is best dressed and in my opinion and Beyonce gets 2nd place…

#60. Karl looks like he NEEDS to be slayed. His Vampire Chronicles reject looking tail.
To Bill Maher. You should’ve returned your date to whatever corner she came from before you attended this event. All these stunning women around and you roll up with A’Quonasia Delight from Roscoe’s EPimscopal Corner Slab for Hos located on the corners of Church St & 108th….with her Rainbow dress, Hookers R Us shoes, Hair done in the back of Ming Jenkins’ Hair, Beauty & Rib Shack…with her Dollar Store pearls (that prolly just came out the crack of Bill’s ass the night before)..her Walmart Disney watch & OoO-We Vuitton bag.
STOP THE MADNESS!
