Feeling that hat Jigga!
Beyonce – Lovely! That’s my girl!
Jay-Z – WTF? He’s embarrassing himself.
And why does Jay look like he’s towering over Bey? I didn’t know he was THAT tall. Maybe they’re sitting?

Nice! Good to see lots of folks turned out to show support. I’m very suprised to see Arnold Schwarznegger….his wife must have made him come.
This was such an exciting, prestigious, and distinguished event to watch!
OMG Jigga looks like Andre Leon Talley in that hat! Just saying…
Its a Beautiful Day…..Barack Obama is our President!!!!!!!!
Jigga….what is up with the hat????
Does anybody else think Patti Labelle would have given a better perfomance than Aretha, no disrespect to Aretha(one of the greatest) but Ive heard better from her…
People that is a Stupid hat!!!
I mean its just scary, and can puffys moma look like a grown up with some class PLS! everyone else looks decent.
Love B and Jay. Jay is definitely keeping warm. I don’t blame him.

My prayers go out to the Obama family in hopes that God watch over them.
FIRST….Im sooooo excited..OMG I’ve been getting chills all day.
Beyonce looks so cute. She looks Ray Ban shades. I like Jay’s looks.
Areatha sounded a mess. But Hey, she’s da Queen, gotta love her
On this day my black people are still hating on one another – over a hat that a black man chose to wear to an event they could not afford to attend. Sad……
#22 I Agree!!! Did yall hear what the man (President Barack Obama) said?!
One thing that I like about looking at these pictures is, that today… no matter what celeb you are/were…. you were just regular people sitting in the audience witnessing something so much bigger than any album/movie you could ever make! I imagine it was humbling for alot of people……
#10
I wasnt too big on Aretha’s version of “My Country, Tis of Thee” either.
And I think Jay’s hat is cute in a way. Looks like an Eskimo….LOL.
That fur hat Jay Z has on is not cute. I still dont get why people think wearing a dead animals fur is cute. Anyway, everyone else looks nice. YES WE DID!

My favorite picture is of Magic and the res of the people from CA. Jay-Z look like Don King in that hat. Way to go star-uhs at the event.
Mr&Mrs Carter looking great as usual…love love love that hat..
Sorry but Aretha sounded sooo terrible…she sounded like Amy Winehouse..mumbling words….I agree with #10..Patti LaBelle would have killed it with a memorable soulfilled performance. ..oh welll…Obama is president and that’s all that matters.
JAY-Z LOOK A DAMN FOOL. I DON’T GIVE A DAMN HOW COLD IT IS OUT THERE HE COULD HAVE PICKED A BETTER HAT THEN THAT. AND THEM GLASSES REALLY IRK ME. LIKE FOR REAL

What a Day! I wish it could go on forever. I’m in awe. How great it is to be alive today! Thanks be to GOD!!!
I didn’t know Aretha had gotten married again. Dang Retha.
The word hater really should die out right about now because people dont know how to use it.
1. HATE: to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward; detest: to hate the enemy; to hate bigotry.
Just becasue you dont like someones hat does not mean your hating on them, it called having an opinion
1. OPINION: a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty.
2. a personal view, attitude, or appraisal.
Diddy, Looks good
i wonder if beyonce opinion matters when it comes to jay z style in clothes
Puffy really loves his Mom, I’m glad to see he brought her to inaguration instead of bringing one of his hoes.
Everyone looks nice. For the first time, I’m proud of America!!!!!
TOTALLY agree with #41..go head
Aunt rere sounded a damn Hot Ass Mess LMAO! I thought i was the only one shoot that felt that lol
This is History
Jay-z, Like someone said ugly just like him j/k………………Not
The Hat^^^^^
Jays hat is fantastic, I have one too. Trust me these types of hat are good for this kind of weather especially if you have short hair. Many russians wear these hats.
****** O B A M A *****
beyonce looks awesome. This is amazing!
Where is rihanna herpes? i thought she was performing somewhere for the obama…. no shine for her now many people are on obama obama obama
@50
I think Rihanna is performig tonight on MTV for the RIAA charity ball
Why is Solange wearing some purple 1980′s like a virgin gloves? Did she forget she was going to the inauguration and baby Daniel’s video shoot.
rihanna’s doing some charity even lol…..she could never perform at the real inauguration LOLLLLLLOLOLOLOLOL BEYONCE IS GOING TO HONOR THEM TONIGHT AT THEIR FIRST DANCE. THis is ICONIC!
Beyonce looks simply beautiful.
Jay looks nice different hat and as someone else mentioned he resemble a Russian.
Diddy look nice.
Diddy’s mom need to look, act and dress her age.
Solange looks nice but lonely.
Oprah and Stedman look great.
Aretha look nice good to see her breast hidden but she did not sound good she was not a good choice.
Everyone look nice.
Don King……..well I’ll just say he’s there.
@9 You are exactly right!
I’M JUST SAYING…
Tuesday, January 20, 2009 /
OMG Jigga looks like Andre Leon Talley in that hat! Just saying…
_____________
LMAO. I thought the same thing
Yes people this is not about Beyonce, Rihanna or all those other celebrities who does not make history it’s about Obama forget all the fame and fortune and who is this the best this is the REAL DEAL!!!!!!!!!
@ 53 This is not a diss or anything, but this is about OBAMA not Beyonce good for her that she’s sinigng. It was uncalled for to try and turn this into a Beyonce vs. Rihanna battle they are both talented and like I said it’s about Obama!!!!!
Everyone looks nice love Jigga hat and him, People blow me with this ugly stuff cause you have been brainwash by European standards of beauty and find having a big nose and lips make you ugly smh. Beauty is subjective so what you find ugly someone else considers handsome and vice versa.
JayZ—>Big hat,Bit glasses, big ass lips…Not a good look. I know it was cold as hell but do Mrs. Ali have a damn blanket? I know Oprah stayed warm with that cockerspaniel on her head. Now to be nice, Mr and Mrs. Spielberg looks very clean and classy.
