Jill Biden in Reem Acra.
It's a tiny bit showy for her age and her station, but we can't deny that she looks fantastic in it. Not many 57-year-olds can rock a whore-red strapless number.
Alicia Keys performs during the Neighborhood Inaugural Ball in Gianfranco Ferré Spring 2009
It's a fabulous dress and she looks great in it.
Anne Hathaway attends the Creative Coalition's Inaugural Ball in Washington, DC in Dior
It's alright. Lorenzo likes it more than Tom does. We're getting a little tired of her in red, though.
Aretha Franklin in whatever the hell she wants to wear
She's Aretha. That's all that needs to be said.
Ashley Judd attends the Inaugural Purple Ball at the Fairmont Hotel in Monique Lhuillier Spring 2009
It's all very wan and ethereal. In other words, boring.
Beyonce sings "At Last" at the Inaugural Ball in Armani Privé Spring '08
Oh BeBe. You're making it tough for us. On the one hand, it's nice to see you in something that
a. fits, and
b. is somewhat tasteful.
On the other hand, it's got way too much of a bridesmaid feel to it.
Demi Moore at MTV and ServiceNation's "Be the Change: Live From The Inaugural Ball" in Donna Karan Pre-Fall 2009
There's a hell of a lot going on with this dress but Demi's skinny as a rail and knows how to wear clothes, so she can pull it off.
Singer Faith Hill performs during the Neighborhood Inaugural Ball in Carolina Herrera Spring 2009
Tasteful and interesting enough to prevent boredom. She looks good.
Hayden Panettiere at the Huffington Post's Pre-Inaugural Ball in Monique Lhuillier Spring 2009
Kinda yawn-y, no?
Jennifer Lopez attends the Latino inaugural gala, "Celebrando El Cambio - Renewing America's Promise," in Washington wearing two Marchesa dresses
We're not in love with the silhouette on the blue one but damn, if she isn't the very picture of a Latin diva wearing it. The white one is nice, but a little bridal.
On the other hand:
Jennifer Lopez attends the Artist and Athletes Inaugural Ball at Cafe Milano in Chanel Fall 2006 Couture
Horrible.
Mariah Carey performs during the Neighborhood Inaugural Ball in Dolce & Gabbana
Slutty-looking and at least a size too small. In other words, quintessential Mimi.
Marisa Tomei attends the Creative Coalition's Inaugural Ball in Giambattista Valli Spring 2009
It's a beautiful dress, but it does look a little costumey and she should have paired it with some jewelry and better shoes.
Rihanna attends the RIAA and Feeding America Inauguration Charity Ball in Jasmine di Millo Fall '07
Feh. It's kind of ugly, frankly.
Shakira attends the Latino inaugural gala, "Celebrando El Cambio - Renewing America's Promise," at Union Station in Oscar de la Renta
Again, if you're a Latin diva and you're attending a Latin ball, THIS is how you do it. Do we love the dress? Not really (especially the fringe), but we have to give her props for picking an unusual color and for wearing something appropriate to the event. Because let's face it, Shakira likes to put those honest hips of hers out there every chance she gets.
