Everyone look nice… Bey didn’t look as glamorous as usual to me, kinda plain but very classy and pretty as always, Joy Bryant…. I just never understand with her…Mary’s dress I wasn’t really feeling on her…and Kimora’s dress I love because its different but I feel like if it wasn’t her wearing it people wouldn’t like it….Bill Maher looks like clown with that girl. She look out of place… very tacky and classless….

Everyone looked great, but Thandie Newton’s get-up stoled the show! And I agree with RandonChild–Kimora dress does have Azrec-looking patterns. Its so unique. Loves it!

I LOVE KIMORA. She is the only chick in the biz I idolize. I hate her clothes line, but I love her style. Her dress 10!!
Iman - looks the same. Same dress too.
Paula looks ok but Robin is FYNE!!
Janet-cute, JD-ugly roach
David needs to leave Victoria. She is so fake with her Zoolander poses.
Venus dress is beautiful. Andre got a hold to that azz and turned her into a lady.
Beyonce - pic is doing the flip mode
Zoe- needs to stop it now..
Eva’s- hated it!
Tom and Kate - I know the theme was super hero, but Kate shoes messed everything up. If she had on a form fitting dress, them maybe..
Jo-Lo - The bigger the dress, the cuter it ain’t. Welcome to my world, lol
Fergie- a Furbie. She is stoned out of her mind. She looks like trash
Joy Bryant - please hire a stylist ASAP. When Andre is through with Venus, give him a call.
Tandy - Too much going on
Mary J - Dress is gorgous. Hair is whack though
Bill M - Girlfriend looklikaman. She looks cheap, from her head to her feet.
Did I miss anyone?

Kimora and Joy look like two VanGogh paintings, but I guess its haute couture.
Iman and Eva look stunning.
I peeped how Jermaine is standing on the higher step to appear taller to Janet.
Bill Maher loves these trashy black females like ex karrine Stephens and this chick in the picture.

Alright, I’ma say that almost all the LADIES were FAB except the following:
Thandie - looks like the coffin liner
Fergie - looks like she’s going to a RAVE afterward and what’s with the scawl on her face?
Joi - Um, boo, I know it was expensive but DAMN! Boo! Hated it!
Venue - look like a lady but wrong color
Mary J. Blige - Nice gown but too much black, this is not a funeral honey!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, Bill Maher’s date………..Karrin “Superhead” Steffans must’ve had her mouth f- um, must have been busy that nite! ROFLMAO! Man, that chic looks like he just rolled up on the spot and said, “Let’s roll honey, I got $!” SMH Those shoes! Damn, she looks like she needs a BATH for some reason. Trash!
