    Melanie Fiona looks really beautiful..!!

    Taraji P. Henson always look good.!

    Tatyana Ali is becoming a beautiful young lady.

    Joy Bryant could do something to her face. At least add a little bit of color to it.

  3. Mrs. sk8board P (ak & bk stan)

    Mel looks fab.
    Taraji looks cute
    I like Joy’s outfit, but she could of AT LEAST put on some lip gloss.
    Ashley Banks looks cute
    Is Mary wearing a lace front?

  4. Anon.

    Melanie, Taraji, and Tatyana look cute. I still think Joy Bryant needs a new stylist but this one’s better than some of the other stuff I’ve seen her wear.

  5. gg boo

    taraji always looks gorgeous but her makeup is making her look older, maybe its the light from the camera. and i agree joy coulda put some gloss on…vaseline?

    Why do they keep inviting Joy Bryant to these events? I would really hate to see the inside of her closet!

  10. HI HATERS

    Everyone looks good and it`s great to see someone show some much needed love to all the woman of color in the music industry

  11. JustMyOpinion

    Tatyana Ali and Melanie Fiona both look really great. Jurnee Smollett looks like she might need a stylist ???? but she is really turning into a beautiful young lady.

  12. Chris

    Why was Melissa Ford there? She is stretching so hard to pose that her feet are comin out of her shoes.
    Its a shame when your only Notoriety is your measurements…..lol, not even your face matters…..lol

  13. Aries

    I really like Tatyana dress and look! She looks great!

  17. Anon

    Taraji, you look like you’re about to take the ice and skate your long program at the Olympics. Girl, you better land that triple lutz!!!

  18. UM... I GUESS

    really like tarajis dress.

    melanie is super gorgeous and talented.

  19. bronx

    i guess kim coles wasnt even good enough for CL to write her name under her picture

  20. african_queen

    EVERYONE LOOKS GREAT!!! except Miss. Ford

  21. SheenaD

    So…who taught Miss Ford how to pose??

  22. Meat

    Melyssa Ford is doing a little maneuver called the “bend and snap”. It gives her an 85% success rate of catching a man. She probably learned it from watching Reese Witherspoon in the movie “Legally Blonde”.

    And, when did Mary J. become an actress?

  23. Fine-N-Mellow

    Melissa Ford always sticks her boobies out when posing … why girl? Just be natural.
    Melanie looks awsum. So Does Tatyana. Mary is looking good too. I always love what Taraji wears but not feeling her dress here.

  24. lala

    Tatyana look really nice.

  25. Darrell H-Town

  36. WurdPlae

    @ LaLaLove – I agree. Anthony Hamilton and wife do look nice togethe. She’s beautiful. It’s good to see entertainer’s bring their ‘not-so-famous’ significant others to these events.
