  3. Irene

  4. MWNY

    I love Rihanna’s dress. Ashanit gurl looking a lil thick there. Sonja’s man is fione. Mary sounded great last night.

  5. Beyonce's ass crack is NOT clean...

    WHY HAS ASHANTI GOTTEN SO FAT?

  6. The Secret Life of Me

    oooooooh lol… that dress witht he clevage out is inappropriate… and that goes for Ri and TI’s wifey…. they just look tacky not classy!

    Ri’s shoes are hot! Nas looks oh so handsome and Common looks cute. TI looks handsome of course but Tiny with the granny stockings and the boobage nah!

    Ashanti well I’m just not sure about the dress… but she looks pretty overall, classy and thick in the thighs..lol..

    Stellla still looks angry about her groove being taken…lol..

    Tyra looks spooky.. that baby hure is especially frightening.

  10. LDaniel

    wow……. everyone looks happy i guess… …. ashanti looks pregnant and glowing… oh well I love everyone on here.. gotta stay positive and I am not going to talk about anybody.

  11. gary

    I think some ppl mistook this for a house party. Its called class. you don’t need to have your cleavage hanging out all over the place in order to get your pic taken.In fact, that should be the reason to not have your boobs all up and through the place.I wish some of these blk women would set a better example.

  12. ashleyis2cool

  15. *«Solid Rich Girl»*

    Everybody looks nice but Tyra Banks baby hair is not poppin.Rihanna looks so pretty in yellow and her hair is cute in the bob.Its a classy look and I love how Ashanti did her hair as well.Overall I think it was a great day and night for all Black people!!!

  16. Beyonce is Everything

    WOOOOOOOOOO….Tiny looks like Miss Piggy. I say HOT DAMN she ugly.
    Tyra looks cute except for that baby hair.
    Rihanna looks sexy.

  17. 61

    Rhi-Rhi look good in that dress and Ashanti look classy.

  18. HONESTLY???

    GOTDAMN!!! RIHANNA’S BOOBS HAVE NEVER LOOKED BIGGER….HMMMM…

    IMPLANTS? HOPE NOT, CUZ SHE REALLY AINT NEED EM…

  19. dale23

    lol @@ T.I.’s face…

    *his current thought*

    “Damn i told this hoe to stay her ass at home!”

  20. MWNY

    I may be alone in this category but I like Tiny’s dress probably without the stockings though.

  21. Beyonce is Everything

    Ohh BTW…..I wish Mary would get rid of the tats. I mean she looks sooo good. But my eyes went straight to the tatoo.

    And I like Ashanti, but as many people on this site that call Beyonce fat, yall better let Ashanti have it. She looks a little plump. But none-the-less pretty.

  22. Zion

    Rihanna has such as fresh youthful look.

  23. Kina

    Tiny looks a damn mess, no class.. Mary is a bad B*TCH , she looks fantastic. And who do Tyra thinks she fooling, them baby hairs don’t make your weave more realistic. She perm the ish out that piece in the front to keep it straight. Rhianna looks great but why she’s not satisfied with her natural skin color and decided to bleach her skin the way she did. She told them to kill all the melanin in her.

  24. Dolil

    Tiny looks a AWFUL mess I am sorry what in the hell was she thinking with those stockings on and the those granny shoes! IS SHE SERIOUS come on T.I???? He got enough money to doll her up right!

  25. bassackwards

    Tiny and Mary – tats and evening wear does not mix.
    Tiny looks xtra trashy! – is she a trailer park girl?
    TI is wearing what the waiters wore.
    Terry M looks just like her facial expression – stupid!
    Spike Lee’s wife dress is beautiful!

  26. Not_An_Angell

    I think we’re trying to do better…and that’s wonderful.
    Just maybe, someway, somehow….the bagging sagging showin-your-drawers style will get old/played out.

    We don’t need to dress like this everyday, but we have to do something. Since many folks follow celebrity styles, it’s good to see them looking more classy.

  27. cee

    Mary looks GREAT as usual! I love her tattoos

    Tiny what is that mess on her chest and those stockings…

    Ri-Ri.. I guess her “cold” sore finally went away

    Nas,Common and TI look very handsome

    Tyra, Is that baby hair?

    Ashanti..looks nice she does have a glow to her

  28. platinum glam

    Love Terri’s skirt, the iridescence of it is fab especially when the light make the hues pop.

  29. marcus

    CAN SOME PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ TELL ME WHERE IN HELL RIHANNA THOGUTH SHE WAS GOING..

    SHE LOOKS SO UNCLASSYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY…CUTE BUT BOO THATS THE WRONG ATTIRE FOR THE EVENT.. ALL THE OTHER WOMEN LOOK SEXY, BUT COVEREDDDDDDDD.. EVEN MARAIH,BEYONCE,SHAKIRA ALL OF THEM.. AND SHE WALK IN WIHT A SKIRT THAT SHORT…

    THINGS LIKE THIS IS WHY SHE WORKED SO HARD IN 08 AND THEY DIDNT PICK HER FOR BEST DRESSED, CAUSE SHE IS NOT.

  30. AlexIS

    Tsk, tsk, tsk….where to begin?
    The dudes look nice! Tux’s are always a good look!
    Rihanna WOULD look nice had she been going to an awards show but an Inaugural Ball? BALL being key, that outfit is not befitting for the event.
    LoL! Tiny…she just never gets it right.
    Ashanti looks nice…
    Tyra..wicked witch of the west!
    Joe and Jill! You betta work it! LoL!
    Spike and Tonya…..I’m not impressed…
    Terri, Terri! She pretty! But she’s not an exception….where’s you’re gown, girl?
    Mary looks fab!!!

  31. Plumz

    Everyone looks good here with some exceptions:

    RiRI: i love ya style sweetie but tuck those puppies in, i took one look and was like DAMN girl, i’m at work!! Someone says she bleached her skin and she didn’t. it’s called winter weather (especially since she was in Euro) we all loose the tan sweetie.

    Tiny: no words cause I can never get past the face, for some reason she looked a lil better back in her Xscape days.

    Nas/Common: could get it anyday anywhere!

    Mary: Fly ( I agree, after you’re grown and can afford it loose the tattoo and replace elsewhere unseen on your body)

    Everyone else: I didn’t stare at long enough! OH AND TYRA STFD PLEASE!!!!

  32. ☆ Lola A♏ ★

    Love Rih’s shoes! I still want to know why she missed the Kids Inaugural Ball that she was supposed to be at.

    Ashanti looks nice as well as Mary

    Tyra lacefront and baby hairs is a no-no!

  33. ghc120

    What is up with people? Folks are looking cheap on so many levels, at this event!

    Rihanna looks like a pin-cushion. In the beginning of her career, when things were just starting to heat up for her, her style game was classy and fierce…trumped Beyonce. Ever since the whole skater-girl look came about, she’s been a hot mess.

    I love Nas…but that blue shirt and bow tie, mess it up for him. Common on the other hand, looks pretty slick. His look suits him very well. Bravo, Common Sense!

    Tiny looks like the hood rat that she is, hate to put it out there like that. The dress is too bright for her “brightness” and she’s too short for the make of that dress. The shoes and stockings are awful and I’m positive she borrowed that fur from my grandmama!

    T.I. — not big on the bow-tie, but other then that, he looks sharp.
    Did Ashawnti pick up that dress from Sears or JC Penney’s? Terrible material.

    Tyra Banks looks like a tranny…hate to hit her with that one.

    The Bidens are lovely! Jill’s dress was smokin’ hot! She’s got good fashion sense, and LOVES the color red. Joe Biden, is the man.

    I’m so happy Spike Lee’s got his back turned to us. He looks a mess. Tonya’s dress doesn’t suit her, I feel like she rumaged through the White house garbage for left over Bush administration drapes. I think she’s a pretty woman though.

    Terri McMillan’s look would be nicer if her shirt fitted her better. Other then that, she looks okay.

    Mary and Sonja look nice in their black dresses. I like Mary’s hair short (always have).

    All in all, a tacky bunch.

  34. bored

    I’m sorry, but Rihanna looks tacky and Tiny looks out of her element and I’m not trying to be funny.

    This was a historical day and the only thing Rihanna could come out with is this? looking like she need to be hiding behind a bush some where peepng trying to see what Chirs is doing…just tacky..

    She looks BORED!!

  35. tia

    im not gonna say anything negative…

    all i know is that nas is a beautiful man…i heart him

  36. yepaur

    ashanti is pretty. she look awsome!!!!

  37. Wow. Best looking one in this whole bunch is Spike’s wife. Very classy & elegant. Same goes for Jill Biden. Love that color.

    Rihanna looks like she got jumped before the event & the assaliants stole the other strap to her dress. nothing classy about exposed, vein riddled boobs at a nice event.

    Common & Nas look great. Two very sexy men.

    TI looks amazing. Tiny. Errr Umm. I like Tiny. But C’mon! The color is pretty. BUT The tatted boobies on display and the Easter Sunday hose are NOT wassup.

    Not sure on how to feel about Ashanti.

    THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT TO TYRA, CHILI and any other grown ass woman who knows better: Baby Hair is NOT cute when you’re over the age of 8.!

  38. I forgot to mention a big NO to Tiny’s squirrel & badger-skinned shawl.

  39. Everybody looks good,

    Tyra with that built in baby hair on the lacefront!

    I heard Mary was beefin, I dont believe it

    Who let Terry McMillan in?!

  40. thickems

    Love you Mary ! ! ! ! !

    Rhianna’s dress is too cute ! ! ! !

  41. Classy

    Rihanna is a supermodel. I don’t love that dress, but i love it on her. She’s pretty much the best looking singer ever.

    Common is too sexy!

    Ashanti looks very pretty, but I think she looked bettr when she was trimmer. If she keeps it up she’s going to be one of those big girls with a “pretty face”.

    Joe and his wife/Spike and his wife are all cute and look good together.

    I love Mary’s look, and I love her tattoo with that dress. It goes. Very hood/rock star glam. She always knows what looks ood on her.

  42. BOSTONIAN

    Tiny’s pic just goes to show that you can take a girl out the hood, but you CANNOT take the hood out the girl! She looks a mess. And RiRi could’ve come harder with it, that dress really isn’t appropriate for an inaugural ball!

  43. KIDDO

    Damn Tiny!! what is going on with this girl, she is so grandma looking, that outfit is a complete mess! and why do women with big breast never seem to get it right with dresses, damn Tiny that dress is pass ugly.

    Ashanti always look nice.

    Love Mary J.

    Back to Tiny, her Mink even looks old! ha ha.

  44. GET OVER IT

    RHIANNA = NO CLASS FOR THE INAUGURATION

    DOES SHE KNOW THAT THIS IS AN INAUGURATION AND NOT THE MTV AWARDS.. I GUESS THATS WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO WHEN NONE OF THE ATTENTION IS ON YOU AND ALL OF IT GOES TO BEYONCE. DAMN RHI RHI STEP UR GAME UP FAREAL. I LIKE YOU AND ALL, BUT I SERIOUSLY FORGOT YOU EXISTED LAST NIGHT AFTER LISTENING TO BEYONCE BELT OT AT LAST..

    TODAY I AM LIKE RHIANNA WHO?

  45. browneyz_philly

    Tiny-she has never been an attractive woman. A lot of woman mistake pairing stockings with sandals as classy, when in all actuality it screams “I HAVE NO STYLE!!”
    Rihanna- she looks superb however, I don’t think the dress was right for the occasion. Also I doubt she bleaches her skin. A lot of these celebs we see are indeed pale. They wear bronzers, make-up, and tanning lotions to make their skin glow.
    Ashanti-cute!
    Mary- WOW! She looks stunning! Damn the tattoos messed her up. She got her tats at a young age and now she has to showcase them in every fit she wears. So tacky! I’m against tats but if you choose to get them, feminine places or let them be hidden.

  46. Tha New Jessica Rabbit

    Rihanna is FIERCE

    and is it me or is Ashanti getting a lil on the heavy side

    Tiny is not that bad looking I mean she look better than some of you chicks round here…

    Where is the pic of Jill Scott and Joe?

  47. Sade

    I like Rihanna’s outfit if were some other event but this is the celebration of Barack Obama becoming president, her attire was inappropriate.

    Saying Tiny’s outfit was inappropriate is an understatement. Truly tacky on some many levels. Come on people, when go to an event like an inaugural ball, think classy, not trashy.

    Ashanti look real thick. I mean real thick, look cornbred and collage greens thick. Nelly probably has something to do with this.

    Tyra, the baby hairs need to stop. You a grown ass woman.

    I like Terri’s hair. Mary is just a phenomanal woman all around. She really did her thing last night.

  48. Tha New Jessica Rabbit

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^continued..

    Why is Terry McMillian making that face (really not a good look)

    Mary is looking Fierce as well and SPike Lee has pretty wife.

  49. killall tha haters

  50. Jenny J

    LOL @ Tiny…I mean lol wtf was she thinking??? I mean if the shoes werent bad enough, she had to add her mommas tights too??? She looks a hot damn mess. Poor TI and his “situation” (tiny). I hope he dosent make any more babies with her, its a damn shame all them kids look like her….:( that was kinda mean for me to say but…….he should strap up thats all im sayin…

    ——– Now the for the WTF catagory——-

    Tiny – OMG, now you know that whole outfit is just wrong. The dress is ugly, your boob is uglier, hair is ugly, stockings ugly and shoes ugly too… Just wrong girl….

    Sonja – Glad you all pointed out she was from the wire because I had no clue who that was.

    Spike – WTH do you have on… We know Obama loves Abe but you didnt have to dress up like him.
