Here are some exclusive photos that our friend Taj Washington took at the Dress For Success Gala held at the Marriott Marquis in New York City on Wednesday night.
Dress for Success is a non-profit organization that provides interview suits, confidence boosts, and career development to low-income women in over 75 cities worldwide. Pictured above (l-r): Janice Combs, LisaRaye, Jacquie Lee, Jill Scott and Star Jones. Diddy was also at the event. More shots after the cut..
Jilly from Philly is AMAZING in concert.
Damn Lisa raye went back to wearing white, but everyone looks nice including Ms. Combs that’s a first.
Yawnnnn. Looks Boring!
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ms. Combs
lisa rays always looking good even in white!!!!
I can’t stress enough how good LisaRaye looks, her skin looks flawless.
Jill scott looks like shes doing the damn thing.
I think Dress for Success is a WONDERFUL cause! My grandmother died in Dec and my family has decided to give her suits to DS…She was a empowering woman and her suits will help someone be empowering as well
Lisa Raye……..beautiful.
Jill Scott……….gorgeous.
Puffys’ mom…..she needs a makeover. And can somebody please take this woman wig shopping??? That tired blond wig makes her resemble Miss Piggy.
Diddy’s mom clearly didn’t get the memo. Is it ironic that she is NOT dressed for success?
Surely Puffy’s mom has heard of lace-fronts… those NIGHT STAND WIGS that she rolls over and slaps on mid morning kill me dead!!! You know it takes a lot of money to look as CHEAP as Puffy’s Mom ALWAYS does…
@10 I am cracking up over here, funny! Come on people she looks better then she normally does you have to admit.
she (Ms Combs) looks like a 70 year old little kim, (love kim)
This is such a great event!Glad to see these things happening for the women that work hard and deserve it.We can do anything as women but with a little self-confidence,it’s extra special.
she (Ms Combs) looks like a 70 year old little kim, (love kim), but damn lol.
@12
Dusso, who are you talking about??
Wonder how successful that program is. Seems like a good idea for those who can’t afford to look the part for work. Hope the are teaching the appropriate way to speak too.
THEY LOOK GOOD!!
Diddy looks just like his mom!!! LisaRaye is gorgeous, no matter what color she is wearing. Jill Scott looks amazing as always, and I know she killed it!
Lisa and Jill look nice.
Janice oh gosh she looks horrid, she needs to dress her age.
jill looks beautiful…star looks strange as she has since the surgery. nice event.
Do Lisa Raye and her husband go anywhere together anymore, haven’t seen them at an event in a minute, h,mmm.. Everybody looks really nice, beautiful cause
Ms. Comds always looks a HOT GHETTO mess!!!!!!!!!! Diddy makes to much money for his momma to keep looking like a broke down LIL Kim
But everybody else looks nice even Star Jones with her big ass HEAD
Diddy help your mom…please!!
i dont understand why puffy’s mother always looks like a crackhead! there is no excuse for him to look like he does and for her to look as low class as she does! boo!
DAMN i really really wish one day Janice Combs will see the light…
all that damn money and she look soo cheap and ghetto.
she really needs a MAKEOVER… Diddy should do a show on that shit.!… Because his momma looks a HOT ASS MESS!
Diddy’s mom is a hot mess. Sorry to say. When is she going to change up the blond wigs?
Lisa Raye, I am over the white.
Janice Combs is 102…Why the hell is she still tryin to be young? Your a damn grandmother please dress the part! Plus she been rockin that same blonde wig since 97 when Puff did its all about the Benjamins!
I know you should NEVER talk about someone’s MOM but Janice Combs looks like CLAYMATION….
Shout out to Taj!
Puffy’s mama looks a tired mess. When is she gonna retire those blue contacts and blond wig? Jill Scott looks great.
ever since star had that surgery she looks old that was a bad mistake!!and puffy wrong for his momma wig! imma need for him to purchace her a new one asap!
# 27 We are gonna fight You!!!! LMAO!!!!
Lisa is back to White? SMH…. I thought she was turning over a new day…..
Jill looks fab tho….
Urg Ms Combs! I agree with all of you, shes a hot mess! Still wearing those cheap ass wigs, blue contacts!? Urgh she really is a hot ass mess. If you look up Hot Ass Mess in the dictionary u’ll see Ms.Combs tacky ass there!
wow.okay so lisa jill and diddy the only ones that don’t look H.A.M
lol at Janice…dress for success huh?
Everybody else looks good
I was wonder the same thing about LisaRaye and her husband not being togethor at the same places anymore and when I have seen pictures of him lately he is not wearing his wedding ring …Who knows but I hope everything is okay
On another note everyone looks really nice esp my girls Jill Scott and LisaRaye LOVE THEM!!
I see Lisa took it back to her traditional white…
And what success is Janice dressed for exactly? Cause she’s not even repping her sons success well…
It looks like he gives her scraps from his line that he don’t want…but she insist on sneaking in lil’ kim’s closet…especially fishing for wigs
LISA, JILLY , AND DIDDY ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO LOOKS NICE DIDDY NEEDS TO FIX HIS MOTHER THAT &%$@*** HAS LOOKED A FOOL SINCE WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BACK
STAR JONES LOOKS LIKE SQUIDWARD TO ME FROM SPONGEBOB VERY WEIRD LOOKIN
YOU GUYS ARE SO WRONG FOR ALWAYS JOCKING DIDDYS MOM. MAYBE SHE IS NOT WITH ALL THAT FAKE SHIT. MAYBE SHE JUST TRYING TO BE HER. JUST BECAUSE HER SON IS RICH AS HELL DONT MEAN SHE WANT TO BE FAKE AS HELL. AS FOR DIDDY HE’S A WHOLE DIFFERENT BALL GAME. TO DAMN COCKY. MOM DO YOU.
Ms. Combs really needs to get a front lace and change the color of that weave. I think she would look so much better with different hair and a lace front.
WHAT IN THE HELL IS SHE WEARING. PUFFY, WHY DON’T YOU DESIGN SOME OUTFITS FOR YOUR MOM TO WEAR, OR GET HER A STYLIST.
Jill look like she feelin what she singing.
Oh Janice…will you EVER learn?
And Taj you are simply amazing:-)!!! The action pics of Lisa Raye and Jill Scott are fabulous. I don’t care how much you charge…when I get married you are coming to DC and covering that thang!!! LOL…but I’m oh so sin-serious:-)!!!
♥jill scott
diddy needs to get his mama….
lol
shanking my head at mrs combs…
Ooh, damn. These are some skrong ass faces.
STAR always poses like she is uncomfortable and her face shows it… Or is it my eyes or wat… mayb…. hmmmm oh well!! N wastup wit Lisa Raye with white???Guess her favourite colour is white and she aint afraid to flaunt it…. She is pretty tho!!!!
jill scott is a beautiful woman
lisa’s cute. everyone else looks a mess
Jacqui Lee has some strong features to be a woman…SHE REMINDS ME OF SOMETHING…OH THE CHICAGO BULLS ICON..
love jill scott! she knows how to bring the house down! her voice is so powerful and in concert, mama mia, the girl can sing!
lol, omg how could i forget to comment on star jones though. This lady needs to go sit down. Someone PLEASEEEE give me a VALID reason why this lady’s famous. Yuck, she looks horrible!- As always.
I am absolutely rolling at the jokes on Diddy’s mama. When I first looked at the pics, I thought she was one of the women in need that the organizaiton helped “dress for success”. Oh my goodness!!!! Diddy needs to get his mama a “makeover” quick. She does look like an older Lil Kim”. Everyone else looks great and I gotta see Jill Scott in concert- I know she delivered!!!!
Puffy’s mom still looks like a HAM!
weave galore.-
Great cause and everybody look nice except for Mrs.Combs.
I agree with everybody else Mrs.Combs looks a mess. People that have money need to learn how to dress.
@ Tenderoni,
You had me dyin with that comment!
#1, I love me some Jill too. I just saw her a few weeks ago in STL, and it was crazy. Shes definitely one of the best live performers out there.
LISARAYE!!!!! BEAUTY AT IT”S.. BEST her husband better not be slippin!
from what I gather, diddy’s mom was the shit back in the day as far as her clothes game is concerned and she always dressed him very well. I think that she is just stuck in her ways as far as fashion goes, she just needs to update that look and get rid of those colored contacts!!
Lisa Raye is always pretty, but she needs a new stylist!
Jill Scott is fab indeed!!
I can see why Diddy would be their but his mom on the other hand should have set this event out.
Everybody looks nice….BUT….and don’t get me wrong because I am a lover of all things Jill Scott, she can sing, write, act, do it all…..but speaking as a woman that just lost 35 pounds and feels a lot better….when your neck is starting to mesh with your chin…it’s time to lose some weight….I am not saying that she can’t be big and beautiful and curvy…but we as black woman have got to learn some limits and when you don’t have a neck that should be the limit.
Okay, ya’ll can let me me have it now, lol…Just my opinion.
IMO Star looked better heavier. She had that pop. Now she is a fizz. She lost what made her attractive. Some people look better heavier than thin. Or maybe it’s the way she lost it. Anyways, she doesn’t look good. Neither does Puffy’s mom. Everyone has their time to shine, and I’m sorry, but her time has been over years ago. I know what type of chick she was and that’s why she looks ran down now.
