Precious Screening At 2009 AFI FEST

What a difference a decent dress can makes to Mariah Carey, as she has a tendency to want to wear very tight gowns that can make her look very trashy.

On this occasion she wore a Zac Posen Resort 2008 black mermaid gown and I think this is the best we have ever seen her, despite the fact that the gown has already been worn on the red carpet earlier this year.

Hair and make-up are fabulous, and she doesn’t go overboard with the bling.

BDOTW contender for sure.

Paula Patton has great legs, so she shortened her Bottega Veneta corseted dress to show them off and this modification works really well for her.

I’m not as excited about her necklace, but I do love her Jimmy Choo ‘Revere’ strappy sandals.

I love Mary J Blige, but I’m not so crazy about her Emillio Pucci Resort 2010 gown as it’s doing nothing for her.

Olivia Wilde opted for a white RM by Roland Mouret Scirocco crepe pencil dress with an asymmetric neckline and cap sleeves.

Nude make-up and accessories complete this look.

Garcelle Beauvais looks incredible wearing a red hot asymmetrical dress with Christian Louboutin glittery peep-toes.

Mo’Nique and her husband Sidney Hicks walked the red carpet together as she glowed wearing a gold shimmering strapless dress.

I love Mariah as much as the next person but I’m not feeling that dress on her or anyone else for that matter. I do agree that her hair and makeup are flawless though.

It’s the 2nd time Paula has “ruined” a look with an out of place necklace. That aside, she looks amazing. I cannot believe she’s preggers.

I am certain that Kate Winslet wore the same dress as Mariah Carey’s to the BAFTA’s.

Mary’s gown is not by Narciso Rodriguez. It’s Emilio Pucci resort 2010: http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/2010RST/PUCCI/RUNWAY/02m.jpg

Garcelle looks fabulous!

Mo’Nique’s make-up, hair and dress are so cohesive. The sweetheart neckline is great on her. Garcelle projects a strong, smart and sassy sensuality . Oliva - clean, neat, chic - I love it.

Mariah Carey looks fabulous and happy with her husband, Nick Cannon, at the “Precious” red carpet event. Some people criticize because of their jealousy! J R Ray

Mariah does not look like a saussage for a change, but she does that long diva train black dress look so many times, it’s just plain boring. Nothing brings my atention to that.

Mary J. looks terrible, that dress is like a tent on her. Is she smugling someone under it?

Mo’Nique took a page out of Queen Latifah’s book and looks quite good, she scores points for being unafraid of all that sparkle. I just think it’s a bit too gold with the matchy matchy make-up and all.

Where’s Gabourey Sidibe?

Paula looks gorgeous - she’s had a few misses of late but I love the dress. I agree, I’m meh about the necklace. And Olivia - stunning as usual. Garcelle doesn’t age!

And why you not post about Gabourey Sidibe?
Just because she’s fat?

Oh please grow up.

I didn’t write about Lisa Edelstein, Sydney Poitier, Oprah, Gayle King and Paula Abdul as well.

I write about who I choose to write about. Don’t be so ridiculous and make it a weight issue.

I write about Beth Ditto all the time, and Monique is hardly a size 0

You’re in my head, FC!! I think you should get out now!!! The first thing I noticed in this post were Paula’s gams!!! Wowzers. They should be insured.
Monique looks great. Good for her.
Mary..ehhh
Mariah….
Garcelle Beauvais looks so great. But a close-up view of her heels will have you cryinggg!!! They are so choppy!
Olivia looks simple but cute.
