Because wearing a statement on the red carpet always wins over wearing a designer dress.   So Nas and Kelis hit the red carpet rocking "Nigger" tees and wadrobe.  I guess Nas wasn't playing when he said this will indeed be his new album title.  He does explain to CNN what the purpose of the statement was. Aside from her looking like somebody is stealing every cheeseburger out her mouth, I still love this chick's style. I blame Mama Tina:   Beyonce's look just wasn't cutting it for me.  And that hurts to even say. She kicked it with Yoko Ono on the red carpet. It was by her favorite designer Elie Saab of course.  This whole look just screams Prom Catalogue '99.  And it must stop. Solange was by her sister's side all night: Yeah...not really feling much of anything around these parts. Alicia hit the carpet with her "he's not my man" man Kerry in her Armani Prive gown: And her look was fabulous per usual: Nice.  WTF Nelly Furtado?: Something aint right... TV Johnny and Paul Wall: SIGH.  Please welcome yourselves to 2008....soon. Rihanna rocked a Zac Posen dress and Chopard jewelry: Bright colors make for a nice look on her. Tank hit the carpet. I see Tocarra boycotted all the curves on her body. Fergalicious rocked Calvin Klein. That Snoop... Chris Breezy rocked a custom made suit with Gucci accessories. Berry Gordy made an appearance. Jimmy Jam and fam. Mr. Jay. Akon was spotted with his date.   And with Chrisette Michele. So Lil Mama got a man? Ok...actually it's music video director R. Malcolm Jones who has directed all her videos so far. bbut still...that hand holding and hugged upness (which you'll see later) is mighty interesting. Bun B. made an appearance. Soulja Boy is still looking foolish. Barry Bonds and his wife looked fab. Tri-Ni-Tee 5:7 made an appearance. Dream.  I wonder why he never brings his wife (and rumored ex-wife) Nivea around... Gospel singer Israel Houghton. Radio host Kendra G. was there. Roselyn Sanchez and her fiance. Cutie songwriter Sean Garrett was there. Luda rocked Armani with Jimmy Choo shoes. And I love Corrine's look this time around.  She rocked an English designer. Youthful and fab. Hmmm.... I actually do like Fanny's dress.  But her whole look is just never.....quite....right. Sean Carter hit the carpet looking dapper in Tom Ford: Is he wearing bronzer though? John Legend was there with his model girlfriend. Keyshia Cole wore Mark Bauer: No ma'am Keyshia Cole.  This is pretty much my pick for Worst dressed of the night.The curly bangs were bad enough.  Let's not dye them black to make it even more profound. Lyfe didn't know this was the Grammys? Musiq Soulchild made an appearance: So did Natalie Cole...and her wig she clearly just sat on top her head. And Ne-Yo was there of course.
