Live from the 'VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul' Event

Last night, the stars were shining in New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom for “VH1’s Divas Celebrates Soul” show. Needless to say, the red carpet was filled with sequins, big hair, sass, and, of course, legends.

The attendee list was packed with your favorite songstresses – Mary J. Blige, Chaka Khan, Jennifer Hudson, and Jill Scott were all in the house.

The annual event honored the many places soul music calls home: Philadelphia, Chicago, Memphis, Detroit and London.

Catch the special tonight on VH1!
