Oprah looks great n she got her Oscar.
LOVE Cassies Dress !!
OMG am I first?!
Everyone looked nice
WOOOOW Cassie Imma Take You From Diddy Don’t Worry Baby I See You..lol
Oprah looks so beautiful and loks the belle of the ball. Where is Steadman?
Everywhere media was saying Rihanna was going to be there but I dont c her being 2 plcs. @ the same time. She is abroad on tour! Next year RiRi would be the belle of the ball.
Cassie’s dress do look real nice. Janet’s guest. . . . hmmmm.
Dag, is these all the latest hot fashions that the designers have to offer? All I see is a bunch of drag, wedding gown rejects, and gothic get-ups. Kerry Washington and Janet Jackson are pretty much the only ones who won me over. Pharell and Usher look sleek in their tuxes. Everything else is overpriced garbage. Side note: ever wonder why some designers who do design great clothes, always dress like alley prostitutes themselves-male & female?
Janet, Kerry, and Cassie!!!!! YUM!
I don’t even know where to begin…sigh.
Leon Talley is always a huge embarrassment. He looks like a damn fool!
Joy Bryant is a disappointment yet again. She NEVER gets it right.
Rachel Roy is a designer but always looks terrible.
Eva Mendes, Rosario Dawson, & Nicole Richie all need to burn those dresses!
Janet & Mary I love you both but something is not working for me here.
Iman, Zoe, Cassie……Flawless and Classy! Thank you Ladies for getting it right!!!
Mary J. has on my favorite color but there’s too much going on with the dress.
Where is Stedman? Oprah and Janet look the best in my opinion.
JANETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn she is just too fine!!!!!
Iman is soooo glamorous to me!!..WOW..she looks radiant!
I like Kerry Washington and Cassie’s dress…Hottness!!
Diddy’s lame ass!..Ugh i cant stand him..
Janet needs to stop having work done..just STOP!..Her neck is pulling..yuck!
Zoe Kravitz is such a cutie pie..she’s coming into her own and looks to have been influenced by both her father and mothers sense of style..
MIA looked a lil rough..
I dislike Rosario, Gayle, Joy Bryant and Eva Mendes dresses..sorry..
Looks like a fun filled night!
Damn Oprah that’s alot of material. That dress looks heavy as hell!
Owww Cassie mama you are working it.
Kerry I’m loving the peekaboo thigh!
Janet looks fab!
I do wish Rih could’ve been there. I loved her at this event last year!
Cassie <3
@ Deann Dmere
Yes that’s it! It’s Janet’s neck that is throwing me off. I couldn’t figure out what it was that looked not quite right.
cassie shut everyone down!!! she’s a banger.
I need Cassie & Janet’s shoes in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cassie looks like a man…..but mostly like a drag queen i mean y do ppl say shes beautiful look at how wide those shoulders r n da shape of dat face eeewww
than again guess if she were really beautiful ya’d be hating n saying other wise
& mary j. blige’s hairstyle is making my stomach hurt
@ SEX
CASSIE REALLY DOES LOOK LIKE A BOY IN A DRESS. VERY DRAG QUEEN-ESQUE. SHE HAS NO SHAPE, NO BOOBS, NO HIPS, NO BUTT…MAYBE SHE IS A BOY THAT DIDDY SMUGGLED INTO THE COUNTRY. WE KNOW HE GOES BOTH WAYS ANYWAY SO I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED. LET ME GO LOOK FOR A SCAR OVER “HER” ADAM’S APPLE.
Janet looks FAB! From the hair, to the dress, down to the shoes.
I love Cassie’s shoes and the color of the dress, but she looks a bit manly in the face in this pic. Why the hell is she there anyway with all those A-listers? I forgot, she’s Diddy’s meat.
WTF IS GOING ON WITH M.I.A.
WHY IS SHE POSING LIKE THAT? LOOKS LIKE SHE HAS SCOLIOSIS FROM THE FRONT..
@ #12 Deann Dmere, your comment about Janet Jackson is quite foolish. It pretty clear that her neck is tensed up because she was caught in the middle of an expression or an action all the rest of the pics her neck looks quite normal. If she had a face lift, trust me you’d know. It would be much more noticeable.
Janet slayin hoes @ 44! Who mad??! YAsssss bish! School these youngins! And her calves and shoes are KILLER!
And Kerry better work too! That pose is everything! She know she don’t the damn thing!
Kerry has one helluva dome! Check the forehead!
M.I.A has a very pretty face only if she had da right dress n also wat’s dat chick cassie doing at a gala with oprah im confuse, she doesn’t look like she belong
Everyone looks absolutely wonderful, with one exception….why does Joy Bryant always looks so UNPOLISHED??? Everyone’s makeup and hair is on point and she always just looks thrown together! Why is that??
Cassie is really steppin her game up…..she looks fabulous!!! keep it up girl…
@ 19 – I agree with you COMPLETELY!! LOL!
JANET SLAYED THE WHOLE LOOK….SHE LOOKS AMAZIN
KERRY WASHINGTON..ONE OF THE CLASSIEST BLACK WOMEN I KNOW>>SHE DOES HER THING
Iman- She looks amazing beautiful
Kerry- She looks stunning, the dress is lovely
Cassie- Love her dress, im still not a fan of the hair but she has always been beautiful
Jessica, Janet and zoe also looks great
Happy that pharell shaved lol he looks daper
Cassie… singer…. is that a joke.
I’m sure she (Cassie) looks worse from the shaved side.
M.I.A. & Chanel Iman = Best dressed. I am in love with their outfits. Overall, everyone looks good. Least favorite is Rosario Dawson. That dress just doesn’t suit her body type.
wow this gala has brought out a bunch of no bodies
NOTE TO CASSIE:FORGET YA HATERS!!!
YOU LOOK FINE & GET TO GO TO ALL THE HOTTEST INVITATION ONLY EVENTS.
laugh in the face of jealousy
why is there only black people…? more than just blacks are invited to the met…
GROUP THINK!
Everyone looks good. except that Missing In Action girl
Cassie..best dressed.
Almost everyone looked nice. My boo
Janet & Iman gets my vote…
Cassie took the night 1.2.4.3 none of them bytches look better than me lOL shes beautiful Janet looks nice too
cassie is NOT i repeat NOT a singer lol that always makes me laugh. this girl don’t even attempt to sing nor perform. she is a one hit wonder, not a musician. anyways socialite cassie was the best dressed.
Cassie’s dress looks like a reject prom dress with those sequin shoes UH UH
Liya Kebede (tuxedo harem pants) and Chanel Iman (gold harem pants) did the damn thing…simple but elegant
most of the photos were great
the standouts (by standout, i mean pretty or gorgeous face + hot outfit b/c there were plenty of beautiful women there that had some ugly dresses-i.e. eva mendes)-
cassie, zoe s. and k. (cuz k. was very simple), and kerry. and nicole though i’ve seen her do that type of dress a lot
Yess Miss Jackson, looking Hawt!!!! Mary and Kerry looked amazing!
Cassie looks flawless!
#12, that’s the word rough on mia..smh
zoe look so cute,
kerry pose looks like she has a wedgie or secretly tryna pee
whoopie gets a b+, oufit is much better (yes i know whoopie don’t care and she has her own “within” style)
Zoe hands down.
MIA’s so crazy lol And beautiful. Rachel and Joy have on such interesting dresses. I’m honestly bored by the rest and a bit confused by Cassie’s presence (no shade, just sayin)
USHER LOOKED GOOD JANET LOOKED OK HER BOYFRIEND LOOKED LIKE HER FATHER BUT WHITE.
they all look nice, glad to see janet smile again she been through a lot these past couple of months.
janet…WORK!!!!!
kerry and mary looking nice
usher anthony and patrick the designer are looking nice on the eyes 2
Woo, Pharell could get it long time.
Janet will be 44 this month and she is STILL killin these hoes!!!
Janet’s dress is a bit confusin and she has athing for short bald men. Lol. I need to know why Diddy alwayz got on that shiny lookin suit?! Oprah looks beautiful jus a lil too much make up. I like Mary’s dress but not diggin the hair. The MIA chick looks a mess. Jessica and nicole look really nice. Im not feelin Kerry’s hair or her dress. As for the rest NEXT!

I thought there would have been a picture of Jennifer Lopez up there. She was hands down the BEST dressed of the night.
Janet looked the best, quite simply. Oprah looked nice…So did Thandie Newton.
Tom brady was the best looking male, dont matter black or white, Giselle was hot too.
Ushers jacket color was nice he still is very blah to me, he was with an ugly white woman, her dress was pretty nice but would have been hotter on a sistas body, her body sucked balls.
Janets face looked so pretty and Cassie is beautiful but with too much makeup, just caked.I love Mary J and Kendu nice looks.
Oprah was the Queen as always, with Oscar on the sleeves, Zoe saldana skinny. Puffy old and wearing the same stuff each dressy event he goes to.
Why does it seem like Janet always has her breasts POPPIN up out of a dress or a top? Like damn girl, we know you have boobs! We’ve been knowin that since the 90′s hun
JANET OWNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IMAN CLASSIC AS ALWAYS….OPRAH looks like a big girl trying to hide her body the best way she can ……everybody else…decent
