Elise Neal stepped out in a tight fitted black dress with a long necklace.

The timeless icon Smokey Robinson was there.

It's good to see Dawnn Lewis still out and about.

Michael Jai White looked nicebut the pants were too long. Is that a cuff on the right leg?

The Mowry sisters are ALWAYS

The Mowry sisters are ALWAYS looking fly and flawless. Between their clothes, hair and make-up...they are cute, stylish, and sexy. Angela Simmons needs to take a seat talking about starting a clothing line. The Mowry sisters really needs to take this on. I would buy their clothes!!

LOL-Thank you. Smokey

LOL-Thank you. Smokey Robinson is like a legend in the music biz. His music catalog and writing credits have him rolling in the money to this day. And everyone else up there may not be 'A-list', but they are ALL uber-talented and WAY underrated and underappreciated by other media outlets.
