The stars hit the red carpet at the 2012 Soul Train Awards in Las Vegas and the looks were as showstopping and glitzy as the city itself. From sequins to bold hues, nothing was off limits!
Let’s get into the night’s ensembles:
Keyshia Cole went for all-black in a turtleneck Alexander Wang dress with cutout detailing and a pair of $1,485 Charlotte Olympia Bruce Enamel Leopard Sandals. Hot!
Jamie Foxx was easily the best dressed man of the night.
Melanie Fiona tried on the white lace trend for size in a leg-baring mini dress from Isabel Marant, a vintage eel skin clutch, and Versace sandals. I needed a nude lip and clutch and a sleek chignon or ponytail here. Sigh.
Estelle went for embellishment in an asymmetric shoulder dress, red lips, and strappy wedges.
Floral was the print of the night for Kat Graham who looked cute in a one-shoulder dress with a thigh-high slit. Those shoes were not the best complements, so let’s pretend that they never happened ok?
Ready to drool? Tank and Ginuwine played twinsies in grey suits and sneakers. No, their footwear was not cute here at all, but who really cares with faces like theirs?
Ne-Yo opted for his usual fedora/high-top sneaker ‘fit in grey.
One of my favorite looks of the night belonged to Goapele. She offset a white jumpsuit with $930 Giuseppe Zanotti Pyramid Stud T-Strap Sandals. Hot!
Elise Neal was the lady in red at the awards show in a long-sleeve cutout gown.
Miguel gave us Prince tribute concert in a blue suit and black turtleneck. I slightly get it, but then I don’t…
Marsha Ambrosius was definitely on-trend in a sequin bomber and leather pencil skirt. Cute look, though I think she could have ditched the belt.
Most Improved Award of the night goes to Lil Mama who was virtually unrecognizable with blonde hair, a strapless gown, and curve heel wedges. I’m speechless!
Claudia Jordan looked beautiful in a one-shoulder kelly green gown.
I can’t say that I’ve ever seen Paigion before, but the actress did look cute in a $100 Zara Bodycon Leather Detail Dress.
For a little throwback action, SWV was in attendance.
Angie Stone looked slim and trim in cobalt, denim, and shimmering pumps. Clearly, Jennifer Hudson isn’t the only one on the weight loss tip.
A pair of $795 Valentino Suede Cap Toe Suede Pumps gave a bit of color to Debra Lee’s casual ensemble.
Crooner Luke James looked great in a tux.
Leopard gave some life to Alesha Renee’s simple look. Not sure why she chose nude shoes here…
MC Lyte attempted to sex it up in a sheer blouse. Hmm…
Jody Watley served effortlessly with her hair blowing even through there was no breeze. Pay homage!
Faith Evans brought some glamour to the awards show in a $398 BCBGMAXAZRIA Anna Sequin Shoulder Evening Gown. Gorgeous!
Last, but not least was Eric Benet in a suit from Rolled Out of Bed Designs. He’s lucky he’s cute!
Who had your favorite looks of the night?

Didn’t really care for the commentary on a lot of these photos.
November 9, 2012 3:30 pm
Really Kat Graham? Really??? :(
Estelle looks cute, I’m shocked at how gorgeous Lil Mama is, and Faith Evans is glowing.
November 9, 2012 3:37 pm
The dress Melanie has on…is that the same one that J-hud had on you guys posted a couple of days ago? Because if it is so…she paired the shoes nicely with the dress! Goapele..nice!
November 9, 2012 3:39 pm

November 9, 2012 4:31 pm
Keyshia Cole? Good job to Olori for that…And Ms. Watley serving the kids, she looks good! And I think Lil Mama looks great! She is giving tranny snatched face but still.
November 9, 2012 4:47 pm
Keyshia takes best dressed here. I can’t with MC Lyte and that envelope clutch. Are the winners of the awards in there? And I absolutely CANNOT with Tank and Ginuwine dressed a like. No can do!
November 9, 2012 4:53 pm
Lil Mama looks great thats the best I’ve ever seen her. I’m glad she ditched the clown wear she looks much more mature and beautiful glammed up. I dont care for those shoes with that dress though.
Tank and Ginuwine need to grow up.
Keyshia and Goapele are my favs.
November 9, 2012 4:55 pm
Jody Watley did that! work! slay! yes!
Blessings

Keyshia looks great she finally got a stylist
November 9, 2012 5:33 pm
About 60% of this red carpet was a debacle. The commentary…priceless. I must speak on MC Lyte – WTH and why? This isn’t making you relevant sweetie!
November 9, 2012 5:42 pm
That zara dress is fly. Aint seen lil mama in a min, what happened after lipgloss?
November 9, 2012 6:01 pm

November 9, 2012 7:20 pm
I actually like Kat Graham’s 70′s-80′s look, and I like Eric Benet’s suit, so shoot me lol
November 9, 2012 8:03 pm
Goodness they all looked ratchet. Well Jamie looked nice but other than that youzers.
November 9, 2012 11:10 pm
This blog has the most ractchet opinion on fashion. Are you mad Miguel would never give you the time of day? please start researching runway reports. silly. lol
November 9, 2012 11:11 pm
Paigion is an actress? I thought she was just one of the new 106 & Park hosts and a radio personality…or am I thinking of someone else??…Jamie Foxx definitley took that and Lil Mama looks soo much better then usual!
November 10, 2012 1:17 am
lil mama!!!!!!!!!
November 10, 2012 6:25 am
I’m confused about the assortment of outfits. You had some people dressed like they were going on a dinner date, while others were actually dressed for an awards show.
November 10, 2012 10:47 am
goapele looks stunning and the comments were hilarious! i’m proud of lil mama…she tried and it worked; now she needs to stick with it!
November 10, 2012 3:07 pm
Love the commentary and that Jody brought her own wind machine. Tyra would be proud.
November 10, 2012 3:37 pm
Wow, alot of hot mess. Keyshia looks the best I’ve ever seen her though.
November 10, 2012 7:21 pm
Toooo much under eye powder for CoCo. All of SWV could use a makeup overhaul
November 10, 2012 8:21 pm
I Love Luke James! He’s amazing live.
He’s bringing RnB back
November 11, 2012 10:04 am
Lil Mama SLAYED.
November 12, 2012 2:53 am

November 12, 2012 2:26 pm
