Laced

When it came to the red carpet, Scott knew what she was doing. In a sleek, short-sleeve nude and black lace dress, and asymetrical bob, the singer was a beauty at the 43rd NAACP Image Awards in Los Angeles.

06
Hot Scott

Talk about a vivacious vixen! Scott wore a smokin’ sequin gown and luxurious fur at the BET Honors 2012.

07
Pink Lady
This pussybow blouse and pink crinkled skirt made such a sweet style on Chrisette Michele at the 2012 Somaly Mam Foundation Gala in New York City.

At the Remy Martin presents “Chris Bosh Comedy Club & Boardwalk Casino Night” in Miami Michele worked a figure-flattering Tadashi Shoji wrap tulip dress in a cool navy and nude combo.

Michele’s blazer and white jeans presented a nonchalant but fashionable red carpet moment at the Think Like A Man premiere.

Fit & Flare

Marsha Ambrosius definitely kept her cool in this hot look — a black top and silk multi-colored layered skirt with purple peep-toe pumps.

11
Disco Diva

The hair, the jumpsuit, the whole look was a fab 70s moment for Marsha at the ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Awards.

12
Blue Babe

Everything about Amber Riley’s Theia gown at the 43rd Annual NAACP Image Awards was hot — the sexy asymmetrical style, curve-hugging fit, and the explosion of navy blue sequins. She knows what works for her and gets it right every time.

13
Peplum Party

At the Sparkle premiere in Hollywood, this actress sparkled in a pretty peplum lace blouse, pencil skirt and cross-strap platforms.

14
Simply Pretty

Riley’s effortless black and white combo suited her perfectly at the FOX All-Star Party in California. The bright white blouse balanced by her sleek pencil skirt, blazer and platforms completed this polished look.

Lined Up

The Glee star has earned her stripes in this intricately lined skirt at UNCF’s 33rd annual An Evening with the Stars. It’s a tricky pattern to pull off, but she did it with ease.

At the 2012 Golden Globes Riley stole our hearts in this scarlet Badgley Mischka gown.

17
True Blue

Octavia Spencer donned yet another Tadashi Shoji statement gown at the 2012 NAACP Image Awards, this time an aqua ruched style that was fabulously figure-flattering.

18
Glam Gal

At the 2012 Screen Actor’s Guild Awards, Spencer won Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Help clad in this stunning silver, silk Tadashi Shoji gown.

19
Classic Statements

At BAFTA (British Academy Film and Television Awards) we loved how Spencer made a simple white button-down blouse look glam by pairing it with Tadashi Shoji’s dramatic skirt.

20
Demure Design

Tuxedo Time

On the Late Night With Jimmy Fallon show, she selected a chic tuxedo-style; even pulling off a white blazer fiercely.

24
Gorgeous Glow

The color and style of this David Meister dress at the Joyful Noise premiere in Los Angeles was certainly fit for a Queen.

25
50s Flair

Oprah looked breathtaking on stage at the O You! event presented by O, The Oprah Magazine. The curvy queen wore a lovely 1950’s style mint dress with all the right figure-flattering details to complement her shape.
