The ladies were out in their glammed up best for last night's VH1 Divas LIVE show at the Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium.  Check out the hot red carpet looks from Brandy, LaLa Anthony, Ciara, Keri Hilson, Melanie Fiona, Kelly Rowland and plenty more...

Good friends Brandy Norwood and LaLa Anthony--both handling an introduction on stage during the show--posed it up backstage.  And looked fabulous while doing so.

Brandy, who intro'd the big Whitney Houston tribute, rocked another edgy origami-inspired dress for the occasion.  Her nude Estéban Cortazar--exclusive to Net-a-Porter--asymmetric cutout dress stood out on the carper with her metal ankle cuff heels.  Loving the hair.

LaLa Anthony broke out some mirrored fabulousness in this silver and broken mirrored embellished C Green dress.  She kept up her head to toe metallic look with silver pumps.

La's bestie Kelly Rowland was stunning in emerald green as she rocked a silk gown with a thigh-high slit with fringed Nicholas Kirkwood heels.

Such a Hollywood glam moment for Kel.

Melanie Fiona, on hand to rock the Whitney Houston tribute, broke out a sheen-heavy white tuxedo jacket by Tom Ford with her Preen leather pants and Louboutins:

Very smart look that we adore.

Nicole Murphy kept her hot bod covered up as she played around with her "Hollywood Exes" co-star Jessica Conseco.

Singer/Actress Kat Graham brought her new fiance on the carpet as she donned a sheer paneled white and silver gown fit for a diva.

Jordin Sparks hit the carpet in a gold and black Nicole Miller gown sparkling with a bit of color in her dress.  The singer belted out a tribute for Whitney Houston later in the night.

"Glee" actress Amber Riley hit the carpet in a nice look and blue pumps.

NeNe & LisaRaye McCoy hugged it out on the carpet.  And we would have loved to hear how their convo went down.

Nene's lace dress was by Dolce & Gabbana.

The "Single Ladies" star rocked her signature white gown with a trendy metallic silver belt.  HATE the hair.  Love the dress.

Oh hello Ciara.

The sexy singer worked the carpet in this black sequin & sparkle Pamela Rolland gown with a short train and sheer paneled sleeves.  One of her best glam looks:

Absolutely gorgeous.

Another chick who made a statement on last night's carpet was Keri Hilson:

The singer/songwriter, who was a part of the Donna Summer tribute, rocked a feminine tuxedo look by Emilio Pucci.  And she paired it with her gold sparkle Louboutin pumps.

Doing what they do best.

And rapper turned model Iggy Azalea kept it sexy in this black Pucci gown with sheer cut outs putting her flat abs and curves on full display.  Great look for her.  Her signature red lip would have made it pop more though.

"BBW" star Tami Roman also did a walk down the red carpet.

In its 14th year on VH1, this edition of “VH1 Divas” will once again benefit the VH1 Save The Music Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to keeping music education alive in American public schools.

The Randomness:

1.  L.A. Reid is leaving "X-Factor" to dedicate his time fully to his head position over sat EPIC records.

2.  Senator & former Presidential candidate John Kerry is expected to be named Secretary of State, after Dr. Susan Rice voluntarily withdrew her name from the pile. STORY

Kerry Washington has been a fashion darling the last few weeks as she makes her way around the globe for premieres of her hit movie Django Unchained.  Check out her looks in Berlin & Paris inside...

Ms. Washington twirled her way into Paris at Le Grand Rex last night in this multi colored Rochas Spring 2013 strapless frock and Monique Péan earrings looking gorgeous as usual.  And if you've already seen Django Unchained, you could imagine how mentally difficult acting in the movie could be.  Especially, Kerry's role as slave Broomhilda.  She told the Daily Beast that she broke her "no visitors on set" rule during the grueling 8 month shoot to fly in her therapist and her family.

'I needed all their support for this film because it was so mentally hard in many ways.

'It’s so unthinkable that my ancestors endured all the torture and pain. I saw things in the script and thought this never happened. But then I talked to Quentin and he showed us the history books that illustrated the masks and other items used to inflict torture and violence on the slaves. It really blew my mind and made me appreciate even more what my ancestors made it through.

'I barely made it through pretending.'

The fabulous actress looked her usual gorgeous self, and we're sure the difficulty she suffered acting in the role will be worth it.  Oscar nomination come out this Thursday, the same day as the UK premiere.

Kerry was joined on the red carpet by co-stars Jamie Foxx, Kerry Washington, Quentin Tarantino, Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz.

And after the Paris premiere, Kerry and the crew made their way to the Berlin photocall at Hotel de Rome:

She rocked a cream checkered calf-length dress from the Louis Vuitton Spring 2013 collection with her white Louboutin pumps.  The vintage style was topped off with her small Vince Camuto purse and a cute Louis Vuitton satin bow headband.

Loves her looks!

Loving her hair and makeup for the occasion.  Kiyah Wright & Sam Fine know how to work their magic.  They tweeted that they whipped Gabby into red carpet shape in only an hour.

And host/BET President Debra Lee hit the carpet in this black & white frock.  I see she still hasn't stopped stealing from her daughter's closet....

Halle wore an Atelier Versace Fall 2012 Haute Couture Collection high slit gown with nude heels.  She topped it off with gold earrings and a cuff both by Madstone.

And we're in utter awe at this flawless chick. It's quite sickening to be honest. But in a good way. And to look this good after a cross country flight after being in D.C. the night before? We bow down.

"Scandal" star Kerry Washington wore a Miu Miu Prada dress with a vintage Movado watch. She looked great for the ocassion and sat with her Django co-stars.

Singer/actress Jennifer Lopez walked the red carpet in a nude Zuhair Murad long-sleeve silk gown that featured an ivory embroidered lace overlay with beading detail.

"Today" show anchors Al Roker and Matt Lauer posed together.

Olympic-gold gymnast Gabby Douglas wore a sequined chartreuse-hued Pamella Roland gown that seemed a bit too mature for her age. And her stylist should be fired for picking out that wig! Who and why?!

Denzel Washington arrived on the red carpet with his beautiful daughter Olivia. He was every bit the proud papa while introducing her to the media. 

Diddy, Rocsi and "The New Normal" star Nene Leakes joined some of Hollywood’s biggest stars in Moet & Chandon’s star-studded “Toast4aCause” charity initiative on the red carpet at the Globes:

Decide if we love it inside...

THIS is how you rock a white dress with with no undies...and still look classy. J.Lo let the world know once again that her 43-year-old bod can still slay a red carpet.

For her big premiere night at Planet Hollywood Resort, she showed off her ASSets in a long white sleeveless, halter neckline, sheer paneled backless column dress from the Kaufman Franco SS13 line.  And the curvy chick brought her Demarco diamond earrings, a Demarco ring, a sparkly black clutch, and her man Casper along as accessories:

So....

Alicia Keys has turned up her fashionista factor to a level we're loving.  Check out her sexy cut-out Spring 2013 Michael Kors gown on the red carpet of France's NRJ Awards inside....

It's another winning look for Alicia Keys.  The songstress and her hubby Swizz Beatz, who looked dapper in a shiny navy suit, traveled to Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France Saturday night.  The couple took a night off from parental duty with baby Egypt to take in the glam festivities in he luxe city.

Alicia paired her sexy almost-backless and cut-out gown with a Vhernier black-and-white necklace.

And we're pleasantly surprised to see Fantasia looking amazing in this Ralph Lauren stark white knee high slit column gown with a subtle neck cut out.  And she paired it with white Giuseppe jeweled pumps.

Kerry described her look as "Olivia Pope white" while talking to E! on tonight's 2013 SAG Awards red carpet at the Shrine Auditorium in L.A.

She rocked a two-piece Rodarte gown complete with a split V quilted top and flowing white bottom with a lace hem.  She accessorized with a silver box Judith Leiber clutch and Fred Leighton diamond earrings for the occasion.  And we love the formality of the look.

About when she nabbed her SAG card, she revealed it was years ago saying, "The ABC after school special "Magical Makeover" is what earned me my SAG card and I'm back here at ABC still. I think I was a cheerleader in it. I'm like 80% sure."

"Entertainment Tonight" correspondent Rocsi Diaz looked modelesque in her strapless ivory and black lace Mandalay dress and XIV Karats jewels:

Loves this dress.

A solo Jordin Sparks whipped out a curve hugging, Grecian inspired royal blue Nicole Miller Atelier gown for the big red carpet:

Honoree Solange, who also performed, kept her signature look of a bold printed leg-baring dress and bold lip color.  This one is by London designer duo Susanne Ostwald and Ingvar Helgason.  And she paired her look with a hot pair of metallic and white-capped toe Nicholas Kirkwood pumps.  Fabulous as usual.

During the event, Solo hit the stage to perform some of her new songs....and even got accompanied by Earth, Wind & Fire's Verdine White! 

Jill Scott gushed about it all saying, "@solangeknowles is swag. Ok? She is swag."

Agreed.

Speaking of the fab Jill Scott, she hit the carpet at the event, which was sponsored by the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. Wearing a ruby red front slit Michael Costello (former Project Runway contestant) dress,  she paired her look with sparkling pumps and a bold red lip.  Gorge.

Leave it to Kelis to bring out a feisty look or the occasion.  She rocked thigh high black boots with a gold cap toe, a long snakeskin coat with a black & white dress. Lots going on, including that hair.  But that's why we love her.

"Single Ladies" star LisaRaye McCoy hit the event in a white (her signature) Tadashi Shoji white pintuck illusion dress.

And snapped a pic with Kelis and actress Vanessa Williams.

We adore Estelle's look of printed red & white skinny pant trousers with a matching jacket. 

Tamia, who just made history as the first Canadian to be nominated for a GRAMMY in the R&B album category, hit up the event last night:

Celebs brought out all types of trends on tonight's 2013 GRAMMY Awards Red Carpet!  From spring white to revealing sheer panels to extra high slits to bold prints....the YBF folks are bringing it tonight.

Check out all the looks from the red carpet inside...

Beyonce played it safe (and we wished she wouldn't have) in a chic black & white Osman number with fitted pants. 

We're not too mad because chick's body looks amazing in it.  She knows what works for her.  But we wanted a bit more "umph" from Queen Bey.  She could have saved this for one of those many office visits she makes in the middle of Manhattan.

Chris Brown didn't walk the carpet with his boo Rihanna (who showed up a bit later), but he definitely stood out in his stark spring white Lanvin suit and white Dries Van Noten shoes.  Men in white suits are almost always a win.  And we gotta hand it to Chris...he looks clean, polished and tailored.

When Ryan Seacrest asked him about his recent car accident, Chris (whose rep just announced he is suing the paparazzi who caused it) brushed it off saying,"It's all good. Paparazzi get a little out of hand sometimes."

Chris sat with girlfriend Rihanna...who looked pretty comfy in the audience together.

And were loving Rihanna's breath of fresh red.  Her dress--with slight sheer paneling and her signature nippleage--is a custom creation by Alaia.  She paired it with Manolo Blahnik heels.

Gorge.

Let's take a moment for Kelly Rowland's Georges Chakra dress please:

Perfection.  She said f**k the CBS/GRAMMY dress code memo and did her in this black and sheer paneled revealing dress.  And did it well, complimented by Lorraine Schwartz jewels and RGB nail polish.  Easily one of our fave looks of the night.

Jennifer Lopez came to PLAY in this Anthony Vaccarello ridiculously sexy dress.  The 43-year-old tossed the strict GRAMMY/CBS dress code to the wind and had a slit up to her hooha...and sexy gold plated ankle cuff sandals to match.  One of our fave looks of the night. 

WORK Jenny.  Yeah we see you too Casper.  Oh, and if you care, she revealed on the red carept that she's working on new music again.

Alicia Keys rocked a sexy Azzedine Alaia black criss-cross semi-bare midriff mermaid dress as she posed it up on the carpet with her husband Swizz Beatz before her peformance.

Aww.

Love the snakeskin top and this is a fabulous look on her.

Solange Knowles rocked the trendy color of the season--emerald green:

We always love curly wiggery, but we're torn on the dress itself.  It's rare we're not a fan of her bold color choices, but it's a toss up.  Love the pink studded Louboutin pumps she used to complete her look though.

Estelle surprised us with another one of our fave looks of the night once again.  And she designed it herself with Love Collins.  The two piece midriff baring fitted look was covered in an orange and white print.  And she paired the fun yet sexy look with a simple gold necklace by Royal Asscher.

Ashanti hit the carpet in a black chiffon cut-out-bust dress.  And it was covered in stars and prints.  Even with the slit, it felt a bit young for her.  Like her little sister wore this to prom last year or something.  And we're not loving it. 

But that makeup was on point as usual.

As for the biggest baby bump of the night--Amber Rose in Donna Karan.  And can you believe she revealed she still has another THREE WEEKS to go?! 

The mom to be was beaming as she told Guiliana Rancic on the carpet that she and fiance Wiz Khalifa, who's set to perform tonight and is also nominated, are preparing for a home birth.  Good luck with that! 

Wiz rocked our fave Tom Ford white dinner jacket look.  And the twosome looked extra happy and in love.  Very cute.

Frank Ocean and his injured fingers after that Chris Brown altercation hit the red carpet.  He revealed he's nervous as hell about performing tonight.

Nas rocked a custom tailored look from Brioni.

Drake made his way to red carpet looking dapper after winning Best Rap Album in the pre-show.

Elle Varner, who's nominated tonight, skipped over to the CLEAR Ultra Shea suite in a gorgeous black & white strapless gown by Emil Couture.  It's the first time we've seen her hair straightened.  And we're loving this look as well.

Tamia surprised us all in a dark gold Michael Costello dress and a vintage turban with Jimmy Choo shoes.  Are we feelin' it?

Erica Campbell of Mary Mary kept it sexy in this simple black curve hugging dress and leopard strappy heels.

Rocsi stayed on the white trend with a pretty pantsuit from 5th & Mercer and simple gold necklaces, tousled hair and a pop of pink on the lips.  Perfect L.A. look.

Sean Paul and his new mohawk hit the carpet with his Versace chain.

Red Foo from LMFAO rocked a short set.  Of course.

Ok Sway. Suited up in the Easter Sunday 3 piece suit.  Gotta love it.  And the pink shoelaces.  Details.

The gospel artist faves Fred Hammond and Marvin Sapp hit the carpet.

Shaun Robinson rocked her usual look of a long flowing brightly colored gown.

Questlove of the Roots had his Grammy tickets ready as he entered with his mom as his date.  Sweet!

Janelle Monae said she had input on the creation of her look for tonight.  No cape, but still her signature tailored black and white elaborate pants suit.  And the CoverGirl spokeswoman rocked CoverGirl nail polish for her manicure.

Host LL Cool J brought his wife Simone on the carpet of course.

Rick Ross was back on his Suit and Tie ish after his "assassination attempt" on his birthday.  Good to see he's OK and back to doing what he does.  He's actually looking pretty dapper.

And Esperanza Spalding rocked a water color inspired dress for the occasion.

John Legend and fiance Chrissy hit the carpet.  Chrissy's two piece dress was pretty sexy...and probably barely made that dress code cut.

Fast 6 stars Tyrese and Vin Diesel also hit the carpet.

Beyoncé Knowles has showcased her Executive Producer/Director work to the world.  The premiere of her "Life Is But A Dream" HBO documentary went down at the Ziegfeld Theater in NYC Tuesday night.  And her family and celebrity friends all came out to support.

Check out all the glitzy pics inside...

In a sexy beaded and sheer nude Elie Saab Spring 2012 couture gown, that we wish she would have rocked to the Grammys, Mrs. Carter was front and center at tonight's big premiere.

Gorgeous look for her.  Those 12 hour workout days--and clearly some squats--have done a body good.

Bey was fresh off her big sit-down with Oprah Winfrey for this Saturday's episode of "Oprah's Next Chapter".  So she brought the billion dollar woman as her special guest to the premiere.

O got silly on the carpet giving the media some praise.

And even moderated a discussion with Bey beforehand.

Mr. Carter hopped out the car looking dapper as hell. 

Jay skipped out on the carpet to rush inside.

Solange Knowles showed a whole lot of leg in a white blouse that she used as a mini dress.  We think.  Loves the hair.

MaMa Tina went chic in a black and white tuxedo pant and an extra snatched face.  She must keep that doc on retainer. 

Angela Simmons kept it cute in all white and a cute varsity jacket.  But seems to have changed clothes for the after party where she snapped a pic with Bey:

Back out on the carpet, Angela Bassett took some time away from filming her new film Black Nativity to check out the doc:

Gorgeous as always.

June Ambrose came out to support her longtime friend.

And singer Luke James, who opened for Bey's Revel concerts, was there as well.

After hitting plenty of Fashion Week shows, Selita Ebanks showed off her modeliciousness on the carpet in all black.  Pretty.

The Dream, who worked with Bey on past projects and her upcoming album, hit the carpet as well.  Guess he's not mad at Jay for that SwapMeet hat comment from Sunday's Grammys.  Ha.

And Tyson Beckford and model girlfriend Shanina Shaik popped up on the carpet too.

And Victor Cruz brought his fiancee Elaina on the carpet as well.

"Life Is But A Dream" airs this Saturday, Feb. 16th, at 9pET on HBO.

It's def not the easiest look to pull off.  We don't hate it, but not loving it.

Zoe posed it up with Best Actress nominee Quvenzhané Wallis.

She and her staple puppy purse looked cute as usual.  And we're pulling for her at the Oscars!

Q brought her mom and sister along for some moral support.

Silver Linings Playbook star Chris Tucker hit the pink carpet in a white dinner jacket.

Paula Patton rocked a matronly look of an off-white knee length lace dress with conservative bow tie Louboutin pumps:

Thoroughly convinced she doesn't have a stylist.  This isn't Sunday School boo.

"Parks & Recreations" star Rashida Jones is still getting buzz for her Celeste & Jesse Forever movie last year.

Movie 43 star Common hit the event's pink carpet looking yummy.

Hill Harper made an appearance as well.

And newcomers Emayatzy Corinealdi, who starred in the Miu Miu all-female short "The Door," and David Oyelowo looked fab at the event.  David had a role in the Oscar nominated film Lincoln and also starred with Kerry Washington in The Last King of Scotland and will play in Nina with Zoe Saldana.

And speaking of The Door," the short's director Ava Duvernay took home the John Cassavetes award for her film, Middle of Nowhere. Congrats!

Check out video of Kerry chatting up the media on the Independent Spirit Awards red carpet:

It's about that time!  Your favorite A-listers are hitting the red carpet for tonight's 85th Annual Academy Awards at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.  Check out two live streams of the red carpet inside (because the Superbowl of fashion needs more than just one visual)....

A full Oscars fashion recap will be posted following the red carpet shows.

Tonight at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, our fave YBF celebs hit the biggest red carpet of the season.  Check out the glitz, glamour, and sexiness of Halle Berry, Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Rowland, Kerry Washington, Jamie Foxx and plenty more inside at the 2013 Oscars...

Let's take a moment for this vintage perfection that is Halle Berry in a custom Versace black & silver sparkling gown.  Ms. Berry revealed that, since she's presenting in honor of the James Bond 50 year anniversary, she had Donatella Versace make her a gown to reflect her Bond days.  Hot!  The former Bond girl also rocked Adeler earrings and a Le Vian ring.

Django Unchained star Kerry Washington had a melon-like moment on the red carpet in a coral strapless beaded bodice Miu Miu gown.  As usual, she kept her hair and makeup simple and looked simply gorgeous.  We wanted a bit more OOMPH..since this IS the Oscars...but she knows what works for her body and this is it.

Before showing off her Fred Leighton diamond ring and Chopard earrings, she dished to E! Host Ryan Seacrest about her Oscar day routine saying, "I started today with a workout...I had to get the workout in early. I did Pilates so I feel tall and lean and strong."

She completed her look with a matching Prada clutch.

Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson channeled a sexy mermaid in her navy blue high slit gown from Roberto Cavalli and Sutra opal and diamond earrings and ring.  She paired the look with Giuseppe Zanotti metalic blue pumps.  The singer/actress, who is performing a song from Dreamgirls tonight, dished to E! on how she chose this particular gown:

"I love it and it's such a great pop of color on this Academy Award red carpet. Oh my God it took 3 fittings, 3 days of fittings. 3 hours each. It's serious business to choose. My stylist cried tears of joy."

The dress and color looks great on her new bod.

Jenny loves a "shocked" face doesn't she? 

She brought her sister Julia along as her date for the night, posed it up with Kelly Rowland and Kelly Ripa (in Carolina Herrera), and spoke about working on her newest musical, Black Nativity.
 

Kelly Rowland chose another winner after the Grammys as she hit the red carpet in this black & white stunner.  She rocked this strapless exaggerated sweetheart neckline Donna Karan Atelier gown with a black skirt and high slit to show off her gams.

Amazing look for her.  She also hosted the red carpet for ABC alongside Kristin Chenoweth (in Tony Ward), and folks were wondering about that diamond on her left hand's ring finger.  Hmmm.  Her boyfriend/manager Tim Weatherspoon also Instagrammed a few pics of his lady backstage.
 

Little 9-year-old  Wallis kept her Armani dress very age appropriate as she's done all awards season.  The youngest nominee in Oscar history and dog lover told the story behind her cute puppy purse as well saying, "I named this one after my puppy at home, Sammy."

She said about choosing this cute dress, "I picked this because it's sparkly and fluffy."  And since Q's a huge Demi Lovato fan, Ryan Seacrest played video of Demi on the red carpet wishing her congrats.

And she even got to catch up with Halle.

We know Oscar winner Octavia Spencer loves Tadashi Shoji....but this dress is not the best choice for her.  The actress has been making her rounds promoting Sensa, the new weight loss product she endorses, and she's lost 20 pounds.  But thanks to all this unnecessary tulle and fluffiness of the Tadashi dress, no one can tell.

There's so many other choices that would have been fabulous for her.  But we wish she would have reserved this one for the church banquet.  She accessorized her look with a Judith Leiber clutch and Lorraine Schwartz jewels..

Upcoming Nina star Zoe Saldana rocked a look that's much talked about tonight on the red carpet:
 

The pale lavender/white and black/grey trimmed Alexis Mabille couture gown wasn't our fave, but she did have an ethereal look on the carpet.  She's gorgeous and it's hard for her not to look that way regardless of what she's wearing.  The asymmetrical ruffled hem and decadent floral trim on the bust line gave the dress a punch.  But maybe it's the faux belt that gets us...

Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx looked great with his John Asher stingray bowtie...but mainly due to his gorgeous 19-year-old daughter Corinne being his date for the night as usual.

As Jamie was interviewed by Kelly Rowland on the carpet, who he made blush by flirting with her and revealing his crush, he dished on what he and Corinne talked about in the car on the way over:

"I was listening to my daughter talk about college and relationships. I'm always shooting movies so when we get in the car, we're just catching up. Talking about love…you know."
 

Sweet!

Skyfall star Naomie Harris avoided a wardrobe malfunction on the carpet in this extra sexy dress with an up-to-the-hooha slit.  The gown was the winning design in Suzy Amis Cameron’s Red Carpet Green Dress Challenge.   So it's environmentally friendly including the bodice embellished with vintage glass beads and chocolate wrappers!

A press release stated that the gown, designed by Ghana-born fashion designer Michael Badger of Savannah College of Art and Design, was inspired by volcanoes and the appearance of flowing lava.  Badger was also mentored by Vivienne Westwood.
 

Queen Latifah was there to present and rocked a white Badgely Mischka gown.  She looks good.

Silver Linings Playbook star Chris Tucker hit the carpet looking clean in his look.  And as for his comedy career, he's headed back out on the road saying, "I'm going on tour and just filmed my stand up comedy movie that's out soon. I've grown up over time. i talk about all that, friends and family and all that."
 

"Live" co-host Michael Strahan looked pretty dapper...pursed lips and all.

Lincoln actress Gloria Reuben rocked an Oliver Tolentino Couture dark purple silk organza mermaid gown complete with rosette cut-outs.

Correspondent Shaun Robinson looked nice as usual in her black and nude David Meister strapless gown, Mark Lash jewelry and Swarovski clutch.

Robin Roberts returned to her post at ABC's red carpet show looking stunning in a royal blue Marc Bauwer gown. 

And "ET" correspondent Rocsi Diaz showed off her Jean Fares Couture gown on Instagram before jetting out for the evening.  Pretty.

Who are your faves?!
