When did female celebrities stop learning how to dress? It seems that in the past 10 years or so, celebrities began relying more heavily on stylists who wouldn’t wear the same styles they pick out for their clients if their lives depended on it!
Last night was the “Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy” Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, NY. Some ladies took the “fantasy” part a little bit too far. Like Mary J. Blige, who usually can do no wrong in the fashion department. But that black frock she wore was not the biz. The only thing missing from it was the curtain rod! I have three words for Mary: full length mirror (USE IT!)
While their women looked like dime store rejects, the men were all handsome and debonair as they always are because no man needs a so-called “stylist” to tell him what to wear.
Lastly, I wish I could include Beyoncé in this category, but her dress was so beautiful and she looked so glamorous that I just have to give her her props. That dress was gorgeous!

When your curves go from smooth to lumpy that’s when it’s time to wear something that conceals your imperfections.

This dress looks like something a fisherman caught on his hook and forgot to throw back. I can’t find anything nice to say about this ugly dress.

Kimora should have known better than to wear this loud thing to a costume ball. Maybe Kimora doesn’t know what the proper attire for a costume ball is. The dress code is elegant, Kimora, not clownish! You never make a spectacle of yourself - and embarrass your man - at a black tie affair.

I thought everyone looked nice. However I am not a fan of tatts on a womans arm. (Mary you lose a point for that) but all in all, everyone looked nice.
Why didn’t you put Beyonce’s pic up Sandra. You gave her her props, or were you just being feticious. LOL
Kimora’s dress looks like an art project I did in elementary school with grease crayons. Darn I could be paid now if I turned it into a dress lol!
I agree Sandra the dresses are horrible. Ms. Fashion statement Kimora should of known not to put on that rainbow bright dress I am very disappointed in her.
i see you didn’t mention or post pics of zoe and that hideous a$$ velvet gown or joy bryant wearing a geometic look that truly made me (and probably everyone else) dizzy…with the exception of kimora, everyone else looked alright though…it must be a new day for you…giving props to ya girl bey lmao
Now Ms Kimora, as many Fashion Police shows you’ve been on, former model, fashion designer. YOU KNOW YOU WRONG FOR THAT!! She’s friggin blending in with the red carpet.
Mary…………I’on, the shocking blond hair is throwing me off. She looks kinda superhero ish.
Oh my…I can’t believe my Ki-Ki Mora wear that mess. I don’t like that at all…her team of fashionistas needs to be bytch slapped twice for allowing her to commit that fashion crime.
That is not fabulousity Ms.Simmons…u gots to come better LOL!!!
I liked Kimora’s dress, but then again I’m a Kimora stan & she can do no wrong in my eyes. Janet also looks good. Men have it easy… They dont need stylist to tell them to get a tux. Is that Jennifer Lopez? That ish is gross & I dont know what Mary was thinkin wearin that heavy ass dress. Ppl are forgetting that simplicity is sexy… Wait, did i take a stab at Kimora? Damn, I’m sorry, Kimora!!!!
Mary needs to let that blonde sh!t go!!!!!!!
Mary looks real nice. I don’t see the problem.
Do it Janet! Mary is okay. I like her gown, but she needs to tone the blonde down to another number?
Mary looks like a Grown Azz Woman .. she is flawless ..
Janet .. unless i missed something the only lump saw was a wrinkle and the Umpa LUMPa she came with …
Firstly, I love MS. “Fabulosity-Kimora Lee Simmons/soon-hopefully to be Honsou.” However, I feel like I am been hyponitzed or she is chanelling the rainbow, a stained church glass, or a Tiffany Lamp- or feeling very Afrocentric as if she is also from Benin,in that horrid, ghastly & haggardly looking dress. Is this look supposed to represent a avant-garde, or haute coutre look? If so, frankly, it’s way out there and missed that mark. More like Kriss Kross & Cross Colours meets a night out at the MET! and although their song was entitled ” JUMP”…..that dress make me wanna jump jump right out of Kimora’s way.”-
Mary, Mary, Mary- the tatoo has got to go- it’s like pseudo- elegant meets bad girl…..see women this is what happens when you get tatoos all over your body- text book cases in point, MARY, AMYWINEHOUSE- et.al. And that drapery she is wearing tsk!tsk! I will just leave it at that.
J-Lo. Another episode of the Mermaid or Ariel goes to the MET and to think the dress is in Aqua, or eggshell,or whatever color. Colors these days I cant keep up. All I can remember is the primary and secondary colors- once you start giving them emotions [colors etc] I tend to forget unless its a prerequsite.
Jermaine & Janet look awesome, simple, elegant yet classy- and thats just my opion.
However, I am assuming they all enjoyed themselves and I guess that what matters most.STYLE IS THE PERFECTION OF A POINT OF VIEW…”
Kimora … well ..i ain’t have nuffin (yes i ginzu’d that sentence UP) to say …
AND … where is the Pic of Bey’s dress … ? ?
Janet looked very elegant, and so did Mary….I hate to play that card, but if Cameron D had on Janet’s dress, and Angelina had on Mary’s dress, nobody would have said nothing bad…..on the other hand, I agree w/MochaMommy on Mary’s dress looking heavy…..eliminate that top layer, and she got herself a winner….
Thumbs down to J-Lo, she dressed better knocked up…..
Beyonce looked glamorous!!! She really outdid herself!!!
Venus looked cute also!!!
Janet could have stepped her dress game up, Dijour or whatever his name is look piss that wore that cheap looking ish!LOL Mary what is up with her hair! And JLo I love JLo I think if anything she had the nice hair!
I think everyone looke nice, except for that dress Kimora was wearing! Also, I didn’t see anything lumpy on Janet, but there are a few wrinkles in her dress!
I’m loving the dresses (except Kimora) and Mary need a new doo and she would have been flawless!
I really didnt care for Bey’s dress either….looked like one of her normal wears.
I thought Mary J looked fine in her dress, but the others didn’t do to well
I’m feelin’ Kymystry on this one, Janet had no lumps, unless you count JD as one…
BUT Mary’s hair was too bright. oh no no NO! The dress…nice, the hair, blinded me. i like how her man was waiting silently for her on the steps as she got her photos in.
kimora dressed as if she really was at a COSTUME ball. yowsa. it even looks like the white people in the left corner are jonein’ her and laughing atcha girl. YET…it aint the worse i’ve seen.
Jlow…eeeeeeehm. well it’s a very nice color…
and yes men do have it easy okay. wow a black tux and a tie. easy peasy.
and janet has been to soooo many balls and parties that require fly dresses that from time to time you gotta give her a break. there are only so many styles…you won’t always pick the perfect dress. but at least she looks good enough, more than that. it’s plain but every dress does not need to be fancy yall.
Djimon looks as if he is saying, “If I stare straight ahead, they won’t make fun of us.” LOL
Is Ebony Fashion Fair responsible? They always had some outlandish mess that the average and above average black woman wouldn’t wear. This is what happens when regular folks start fashion lines—they think it’s hot and it is….hot couture garbage.
I LOVE KIMORA DRESS!
Mary ~ She didn’t need a full length mirror. One look at herself from the neck up and she should’ve known she f***ed up.
Janet ~ She doesn’t look bad, just plain.
Kimora ~ That could’ve been a great dress…
Mary’s dress was nice, but she could have done something more elegant to her hair.
Kimora, Kimora, Kimora…what the hell was that. My 7 year old daughter wouldn’t even wear that to her own tea party. I guess she thought she could get away with since she is Kimora Lee Simmons.. Boo-Boo you thought wrong….
Janet um noooo
Kimora tried to hard and failed
Mary too plain and hust not cute
Beyonce did look nice and so did Venus and Eva Longoria (sp)
* just
Sandra,
Honey I’m with you on this one Kimora might have gotten her lines crossed and thought she was there to represent “mother africa” with that frock on but boo i’m hear to tell you the truth that ain’t it.” She definitely isn’t “fabulous” in that creation isn’t she suppose to be a fashion mogul she should know better than that.Dijmon was better standing there on his own with his fine self.
OK… I need to know where yall seeing the other pics … cause I wanna see toooooooo …lol
Men use stylists too believe it or not!! I saw Beyonce’s dress and it was not all that. It was a boring color and the typical strapless, mermaid style dress that she ALWAYS wears! I actually like Kimora’s dress…it’s different & the bold color and print are so IN right now!!! I’m in Arkansas and I knew that.
Mary has never had a sense of style…evah..neveh, come on now Sandra. She is a prime example of having the money and access and none of the taste. Her hair choices would be the first thing to point out, tho I love her music, she has been giving Diddy’s moms a run for her money in the wig/weave department ! Then once she got superwoman fit, she lost her mind. As for JJ, she usually wears some sorta costume and not an outfit, here she looks almost not quite right. Like she had planned to put a gold shield up around her neck and it didn’t fit, she never does simple ever so I am not mad at this dress. Her makeup however is too too much for evening out, she does not know the difference between stage makeup and evening out at all.
Kimora who I usually take no notice of at all looks perfect for the event, superheroish and all, chick is not gonna age well. As for Jennifer, we should all hope to look that good after dropping twins…the color is lovely and the surprise is the dress is not tight, you know she loves a tight dress.
Mary looked great, Sandra stop it!
Mary does look good, but the hair should have been black not gold. Mary still my girl regardless.

OK… I need to know where yall seeing the other pics … cause I wanna see toooooooo …lol
ANY OTHER BLOG OR WIREIMAGE, GETTYIMAGES, JUSTJARED.COM
I think they all look really nice. Kimoras dress fits her while Marys dress is nice but it just doesn’t fit her.
I wanna see the other pics too.
Mary’s dress is nice it just looks more suited for a winter gala. I like Kimora’s dress - I’m partial to brights, but if i could afford it, i doubt if I’d buy it. What you need to address is why Djimon is looking so old. Aoki and Ming must be givin him the flux!
Sandra you gotta post the picture of Thandie Newton. Talking about a hot mess at such an event. She looked like she was going to anniversary party for the Pussy Cat Dolls.
Janet looks stunning! Jermaine don’t look half bad himself. lol
i’m shocked to see ms. fabulous kimora lee look like this. janet looks nice for a d*mn change. j-lo always has her ducks in a row.
Sandra says: Like Mary J. Blige, who usually can do no wrong in the fashion department.
~~~sandra we just all love mary’s music… but, she is definetly not a fashion icon~~~~
LMAO @ #24
I love Mary’s dress minus the bow wrap around thingy. If she took that piece off, it would be on point. Everyone else (besides Janet), thumbs down!
Kimora’s dress looks like it might be the flag from whatever country djimon is from lol
