Everyone looks great! 1st
all these black folk looking beautiful i absolutely love it!
beautiful!!!
eva toe game in that picture with AJ an dark dude is kinda scan-da-lous
i love smokey!!
i wish i was born back then.
everybody looks nice
Everyone looks beautiful!
ummm…is it bad for me to wonder why Joss Stone was there ? come on , im not the only one now!
not so much that shes white, but because shes white and british?
When I think UNCF I think old guard blacks, southerners, the black elite, and essence magazine dunno why.
All the same , good to see people supporting UNCF. How come its always these old school blacks that are there, you never see like P.Diddy or someone mainstream and huge at a strictly black gathering, if you know what I mean.
Eva looks great!
wow everyone looks amazing
Such an elegant lookin crowd
very refreshing
and beatiful
lmao @ #4… you sure are observant… with toes like that she should only invest in closed toed shoes
1. Smokey looks so scary now, I was looking at the video with he and Rick James(Ebony Eyes) and he was not cute then he looked like Terrence Howard.
2. Eva looks cute
3. Heather Headley looks cute I love her hair
4. Debbie Allen looks like she’s losing weight, her daughter is a true mixture of her and her husband
5. WHY is it that all the famous people from DC are bammas…Taraji looks a mess, all the time (if you dont have a shape,dont wear a form fitting dress, unless you wear a jacket)
6. Chante Moore still looks FAB and she can sing her ass off.
7. Lisa Raye it’s time to get a makeover you have been wearing that white and those 14inch Yaki ponytails/and bangs for too long.
what did carmool say?
Let me break it down:
Smokey Robinson’s daughter is very pretty, but his wife needs a BRA quick
Trichina arnold’s dress looks cheap (but, her hair looks nice)
Eva doing her thing
Lisa Raye’s dress is nice, but it is something I would expect a pregnant woman to wear (to big for her frame) and she always wear white
Shaun got too much make up on her face (it looks ashy)
I like Debbie Allen’s daughter’s hair (dreads look nice if you keep up on them)
Shemar Moore…..HOT…of course
Kimberly looks very nice…but why black shoes
Heather headly is killing it….that hair cut is WOW
Taraji looks a mess (hair, shoes, dress)
Joss needs a tan to pull that dress off
YOU SAID IT SHELBY
Smokey doesn’t age!
Shemar is TOO HOT!!! I could only look at him for a few seconds and then had to turn away from my computer screen! It’s a cryin shame that he’s soooo dang HOT!
mm mm mm
I love to see young Black Hollywood showing respect to TRUE “DIVAS” like Nancy Wilson & Debbie Allen!!!
Almost everyone looks Great & VIVIAN NIX is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!
Black star power yet again! Oh umm minus Joss Stone.
@4 you had me zooming in to see those toes! LOL
Did someone forget to tell Neyo the dress code?
Somebody should have told Taraji that wig not working boo boo!
Overall everybody else looked fab!
Taraji Henson is giving me shades of “Memoirs of A Geisha” in that red prom dress.
Chante Moore NEVER SEEMS TO AGE. Pass me the number of your plastic surgeon, please.
LisaRaye…Boo, it’s after Labor Day.
I see Joss Stone is wearing her gold “Freakum Dress” to go look for some black men. LOL.
Everybody looks nice except Taraji. NO! @ the hair.
OFF TOPIC, BUT…WHO remembers when Debbie Allen was peddling that COPA “natural hair relaxer” on those infomercials back in the day? She even demonstrated it on her daughter’s hair. LMAO!!
Taraji Looks a mess
Everyone looks good.
I was just a bit confused as to why they didn’t honor Lou Rawles. I like Smokey and all but IMO I thought it would have been more appropriate to honor Lou since he’s been the face behind this for so long. JMO
@20 Taj, Joss Stone sure does have on her “freakum dress” channeling her inner Kim Kardaishian,
I love me some Heather Headley and she looks good….BUT is it me or does it look like she has 6 toes??? Maybe it’s in my mind
Chante & Kenny look fantabulous together–I’m glad to see their marriage is still going strong. I loved that last cd they put out together.
Congrats to Smokey for being a true mainstay in the industry. He and his wife look great. I love Stevie, so I won’t comment on the open vest ensemble his stylist put him in.
Everyone looks so nice!! I love to see my black brothers and sisters stepping out lookin nice and classy. Bravo!!
I love Nancy Wilson, its great to see her out.
I saw Shemar Moore at Zanzibar in DC some time ago and he was basically bench pressing this 300lb chick while standing. I was astonished. If I wasn’t there with my husband I probably would have gotten in line. LOL
Its nice to see these photos of Black entertainers out having a nice time. I get so sick of seeing all the other major publications with no color on the cover.
OK ISN’T SHE EVA MARCELLE?
AND I THOUGHT DIAMOND AND HER MAN WERE SPLITTING UP.
WHY DO HILL HARPER AND JOHN LEGEND LOOK LIKE MIDGETS?!
TARAJI AND JOSS , NO, NO,NO!!
I love to see my peeps looking fab!
Everyone looked mauvelus, lol!
dey r all looking gd!
every1 looks fab.
eva was best dressed hands down…she looked stunning
Why couldnt Neyo wear a suit, and if he wasn’t why didn’t he skip the red carpet. Eva looks beautiful and her new man is a nice chocolate dip, I am not mad at her. Everyone looked nice, even AJ- who knew we would miss you and Free. I like the hair cut. And I LOVE LOCKS, but his was a bit too much, alienation in style, so this is a great new look.
Kimberly Elise, miss you girl please make another movie.
the one has spoken…
Okay I missed Taraji Henson, ummm, not feeling the dress or those bangs, but girlfriend did her thing in Talk to Me so I am going to over look those over arched brows (smile). I am from the errrrah, so sistah I am always going to rep for you, keep doing your thing.
D.C. big up!
the one has spoken….
Hill Harper …I am so feeling you (shaking me head for my thoughts right now). You make black intellectuals look so much more attractive then meat head football or basketball players. I love your sense of style and ability to look at the plight of young black males and see the fact that it is up to the community to change the path of those who may be heading the wrong way instead of saying I got mine now get yours like so many of us do. Keep it up babe!
There is a time and place for everthing. Ne-yo’s look is out of place – he should have gone back home and changed. Everyone else looks fantastic.
Truly for the 1st time I think everyone really looks great
I could have done without Taraji (something to me is so off about her), Joss Stone (bores me) and Ne-Yo (tries too hard and needs to step his game up when in grown folks company). It’s a good look for everyone else.
@ 22, yes I remember COPA! lol. I thought about using that myself at one time but it looked too good to be true. I wonder if they’re still in business.
Whoever dressed Stevie Wonder is one mean sonofabitch. Probably laughed silently at him all the way out the front door.
Wow everybody looks real nice.
Ne-Yo n his smile iz gon get him n trouble cuz he is sexy
Eva is too pretty and too young to be looking this boring. Lighten up your hair again, a liitle bronzer wouldn’t hurt as well, but I am so happy for this girl.
Neyo has plenty of money he could have worn a nice suit or tux.
Who the hell makes Stevie Wonders suits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love him and his music is beautiful but he always looks crazy.
Everyone looks so nice. Lisa Raye looks georgous. I love her hair, make-up & gown.
Chante Moore is stunning–I hope to hear moe music from her in the future.
Taraji Henson has a pretty face, but who the hell styles her? That hair & dress do nothing for her.
Shemar looks hot
Hill Harper is a cutie pie
And Eva & LAnce look nice together, he’s a cutie pie too!
WTF @ TARAJI THIS IS NOT A GOOD LOOK WITH THAT RAVE DRESS YOU GOT ON…TRY AGAIN!!! AND I’M NOT GONNA EVEN GET ON THOSE BANGS THAT STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF HER 4HEAD…BOO BOO THOS BANGS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE DOWN BY YOUR EYEBROWS!!!
Everyone looks nice! It’s about time someone pay tribute to Smokey, he is one of the greatest, a living legend. He even put out a Christian album a couple of years ago, that was good.
I LOVE ME SOME TARAJI BUT HER DRESS IS TERRIBLE.
SHAMAR LOOKS NICE
CHANTE AND SMOKEY DOESNT AGE
EVERYONE ELSE LOOK GREAT
Lance Gross is FINE!!!!!!!!
Is it just me???John Legend’s clothes are always too tight…he needs to go a size up…
Eva Marcel, (NOT PIGFORD ANYMORE), looks beautiful. (Love Her). She and Lance look cute together…he looks much cuter here than he does on the show.
What’s up with “Shug” (Taraji)???? Her face be looking old as hell…and that sponge-roller do doesn’t help any!
Awww, look at chante and kenny. They are such a fly pair. I wish they get more credit for their talent.
How come taraji always look like she just polished off a bottle of 100 proof whiskey?
Eva, LisaRaye and Chante all look fabulous……
#36……………..COSIGN!!!!!
I mean, how fine is this man?? Not to mention smart and actually cares about his black people and the world at large. He is truly a class act and he should be the example for our youth, not some of thse thugs on 106th and Park or the NBA and NFL.
Go to college guys!! Blaze your own path like this brother, and I use that word brother with the most repsect in the world.
Why does John Legend have to those tight ass suits?
Is that Smokie’s daughter or his wife’s. She doesn’t really look black to me.
Taraji Henson She hs very strong fetures like Eartha Kitt( the very first Cat Women on Batman). I want her to do something else with her hair.
Chante Moore: She and Kenny look so in love. I love their last CD it shows their love for each other.
Lisa Raye is lucky azz basically owning an island.
Heather Headly looks great!
Exactly. All Taraji really needs is a good stylist. She’s a pretty girl and a nice woman….she just doesn’t have the right hair, makeup, or clothes sometimes.
Lisa Raye and Shaun Robinson gets Best Dressed at this event. Where is the Pigford girl looking great at at this event? She looks high to me. Taraji…No Boo…just NO! I love Smokey. I’m glad to see he kicked the drug habit and I’m happy to see the Legendary Debbie Allen.
And Shunte Moore is just all out Beautiful!
