Serena Williams hosted a house party at a private Bel Air residence celebration for tonight’s ESPY Awards ceremony.  Serena’s sister Venus Williams, as well as some of her closest friends including  Kim Kardashin, Brandy and Selita Ebanks came through to wish her luck on her Espy nominations.

I was surprised to see that both Kim Kardashian (seen wearing a black Herve Leger Signature Essentials Bandage Skirt $650.00 and black Christian Louboutin Zigounette’s $428.39) and Brady were in the same event.  They weren’t pictured together so I’m not sure if they’re beef was resolved or not.  But from the pictures, it seems as though Kim was too preoccupied by her new boyfriend, NFL player Miles Austin, who attended the event with the reality tv star.

Brandy on the other hand was preoccupied with the dance floor and partying it up with her girls.

Also in attendance were Vivica Fox, Lance Gross, Elise Neal (working her Gucci Hellena’s again), Niecy Nash, Paige Garen, Eve and Garcelle Beauvais.  Everyone looked fabulous!

Actresses on every pay-scale came out to the 2nd Annual ESSENCE Black Women In Hollywood Luncheon at The Beverly Hills Hotel on February 19, 2009. Most looked great, though some dropped the ball.

I gave each Sanaa Lathan, Kerry Washington and Jurnee Smollett bested-dressed at the event.

When I first saw Sanaa, I thought her dress looked just pretty, until I took a closer look at the details. The beaded and embroidered lace overlay of her brown sheath was absolutely beautiful.

Kerry wore a feathered skirt, Louis Vuitton ensemble. It’s so chic, though it’s from the same collection as Madonna’s grassy number that landed her on tons of worse dress lists. She paired the dress with leopard print Christian Louboutin wedges. I wouldn’t have thought to pair this shoe, or a wedge, with the ensemble, but it works.

Jurnee was my best-dressed youngster of the event in a vibrant orange dress and multi-colored heels. She looked sophisticated, but still age-appropriate.

Eva Marcelle, Audra McDonalds and Garcelle Beauvais each opted for a black & white, two-in-one, color-block look. Eva wore a BCBG Short Halter Dress with her favorite t-strap platforms. Eva and Garcelle had more than just dress color and style in common, as Garcelle was also wearing a pair of Report Signature shoes, hers the peeptoe version Report Signature Gala Pump. Audra McDonalds went from a more sleek look, with a Tadashi dress made of multiple bands, which she paired with YSL platform pumps.

Vivica Foxx, Megan Goode and Mo’Nique each went for a little sparkle, as each of their dresses were trimmed in beading. Vivica was wearing her favorite Balenciaga shoes, while Megan went for black Giuseppe Zanotti Patent peep toes. Monique feel a little short in the shoe department.

Kenya Moore, Tasha Smith and Sharon Neal were all on-trend with one-shoulder dresses. Kenya would have been my best-dressed in this catagory, if it wasn’t for those played out YSL t-strap sandals. A knock-out pair of strappy sandals or cut-out booties would have been perfect.

This awards’ season hasn’t presented any dresses that have just WOWED me. But the ladies above were differently my best dressed during the SAG awards.

Viola Davis in David Meister: Like I’ve never seen her before; Viola made me do a double take when I saw her on the red carpet. She’s very beautiful, but the yellow dress looks stunning on her. Her short curly do was perfect combination for yellow one-shoulder dress. She also tapped into two trends with a color and style of the dress. Everyone is wearing one-shouldered dresses this season.

Kate Winslet in Narciso Rodriguez: Once again, Kate looks stunning. She has been a true style-star these last few months on the red carpet. I know she’s shined before, but this time around, she’s showing her sexy side. Me likes.

Taraji P. Henson in Herve Leroux: Finally Taraji has come out of her J. Mendel slump. I may be the only one, but I didn’t like most of her past choices from J that she constantly wore to each event. This dress is much more stylish and tailored; no tattered seams in sight. Hopefully this continues; I can’t wait to see Taraji’s future gowns for the upcoming awards.

Rosario Dawson in Dolce & Gabanna: Rosario never takes too many chances in her fashion choices; usually sticking with black or nude colors, so I was surprised to see her in this ruched dressed. Very lovely Rosario, but she seemed to have missed the va-va voom note she was trying to hit. Her hair and makeup were there, but she choice the wrong dress for the job.

Rihanna wore the same dress before, check out the comparison at Urban-Hoopla and chime in on the fashion face-off.

Angelina Jolie in Max Azria: I commend Angelina for being innovative enough to wear this dress backwards. But that’s where her effort stops. She was so bland on the red carpet that it was irritating. Who gives an on-camera interview pertaining to the awards show with simple yes and no answers.

Freida Pinto in Marchesa: Freida was one of the most beautiful women at the event, so I was a bit disappointed with he choice of dress. The periwinkle dress seemed to over-power her petite figure.

Anyone seen Slumdog Millionaire; great movie!

“The Family That Preys” premiere was held in New York.  Some notable actresses came out to promote the movie, so of course that meant dresses, dresses, dresses…

Kaira Whitehead, the actress behind BET’s new sitcom, wore a chiffon dress, with black open toes and a raspberry clutch.  She was the best dressed of the night.  Hopefully she continues to bring the fabulousness.

Taraji Henson was going for the vixen look, but didn’t quit cut it.  Don’t get me wrong, it was a fab dress, she just doesn’t have the curves.  But the back of the dress was hot.

Sanaa Lathan looks like she dipped into Alfre Woodard’s closet.  Not my favorite look on her, but still a pretty dress.

Alfre Woodard looked nice.  Not sure about the belt though.

Naturi Naughton, ex-Cheetah Girl, and future Lil Kim, wore a tweed high-waist pencil skirt.  She looked cute.  Her Guccis were nice too.

The BMI recently took place.  It was hosted by Janet Jackson.  Lots of celebs came out to represent at the event.

Seems like black was a popular color at this event.  Janet Jackson was my favorite in this category.  She wore cute black number with platform pumps and a beret.

Tierra Marie, Jojo, Tatyana Ali and Tocarra Jones all also represented in Black.

Nicole Murphy was my best dressed of the night.  I loved her dress from the front and even more from the back.  Keri Hilson, Christina Milian, Mel B and Elise Neal all looked cute in stylish dress.

This isn’t only evident in the fact that she’s 30 pounds lighter or that her baby is now a pooping and crying individual, but that her glow is gone. Yes, Jessica Alba, the glow is gone, Boo.  I know when you caught that your image on the way to the Voto Latino’s DNC Party, you probably opted to skip the makeup chair, thinking that still present pregnancy glow would shine through in front of the flashing lights.  But no; you just look sweaty.  Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us.  Just throw a box of Neutrogena Shine Control Blotting Sheets for glossy days like this.  But every other aspect of her look was on point. Her dress and mary-janes were perfect for the event.

Jennifer Lopez also attended the event.  In Jennifer Lopez style, she was absolutely stunning.  Her makeup was flawless and left her glowing.  Her Versace dress was sophisticated and fashionable.

Also in attendance at the event:  Fat Joe, Wilmer Valderrama, Rosario Dawson, Teresa Peterson and Sofia Vergara.
