Alicia Keys sang her heart out (and for pretty much the best reason ever) at the Public Inaugural Ball in Washington, D.C. in a crimson matte jersey goddess gown with crystal embroidery from Michael Kors’s Fall 2012 collection:

Take a look at the back. Alicia, you better work!
Check out the gown on the Fall 2012 runway.
Hot! Alicia looks sexy, stunning, and still appropriate for such a momentous occasion. Michael Kors is having a pretty good week no?
What do you think? Hot! or Hmm…?

I don’t know what is it but I don’t like the way it looks on her, at least from the front… But maybe is the picture.
January 21, 2013 9:15 pm
Noooo dont like it
January 21, 2013 9:17 pm
Correction i like the back…but not the front
January 21, 2013 9:32 pm
I love her, but this dress is all wrong.
January 21, 2013 9:35 pm
I didn’t particularly care for the dress it was just too pageantry for me…
January 21, 2013 9:44 pm
Dam well geez.. cuz i really like it.. she look cute ta me!
January 21, 2013 9:59 pm
idk something is off…
January 21, 2013 10:18 pm
Looks cheap for some reason on Alicia
January 21, 2013 10:29 pm
She just can’t pull off high fashion…hand her a sheath and call it a day…plus she seems to really have lost her youthfulness since get with her adulterer husband…

The only good thing about this dress is the cut-out in the back. The front is matronly, then neckline is horrible and the dress as a whole is ridiculously unflattering on any figure. She’s way too young and hot for this getup she needs a new stylist!!!
January 21, 2013 11:35 pm
This dress is hideous. She’s aged herself about 50 years.
January 22, 2013 12:07 am
I love the dress. I’m really not a fan of her short hair tho.
January 22, 2013 1:36 am
Nah…it looks like a grandma dress on her like she found this in her grandma’s closet and her grandma was like…”chile I use to wear this back in the day at the boom boom room”….too much?…lol Maybe she would have looked better if the neck of the dress was different or if it fitted her better in the front and if it was black
January 22, 2013 7:39 am
I think she looks very nice! Fitting for the event.
January 22, 2013 8:01 am
Cute and appropriate for the occasion.,
January 22, 2013 8:29 am
Hi just an FYI it was the Commander and Chief Ball honoring military fams, not the public ball
January 22, 2013 8:46 am
The dress is alright on her. She’s very curvy so it fits well
January 22, 2013 9:03 am
OBAMA’s on FIRE!
I like the back of the dress!
January 22, 2013 9:07 am
Alicia is short, so the dress should have been altered. Holding it like a crumpled sack made it look bad. If it had been the right length and she had just let it fall to the floor it would have looked much better.
January 22, 2013 9:33 am
it must be too early or something cos i like it.
January 22, 2013 9:34 am
The fit on her is wrong. This dress is gorgeous, but it needs to be tailored correctly on her. It’s too tight in the hip and back area.
January 22, 2013 9:50 am
I like this dress on her. She looks good
January 22, 2013 9:57 am
A lot of you just don’t like this woman. I mean damn you critique her more than you do her outfits.
January 22, 2013 10:11 am
What?!?!?!? I thought she looked great!
January 22, 2013 10:44 am
The dress is hot on the model but not so much on Alicia
January 22, 2013 11:03 am
No ma’am. The gathering in the font doesn’t look good nor does the fabric poop coming from her butt. Not a good look.
January 22, 2013 11:13 am
I did not like it at all. From the back it’s not so bad but I thought it was terrible.
I love the short hair on her though.
January 22, 2013 11:25 am
Alicia looks fab to me. The dress is pretty & just festive enough for the occasion. I just wish she’d have worn her hair curly – that slick bob does nothing for her.
January 22, 2013 11:35 am
That awful performance was worse than this horrible dress.
January 22, 2013 11:39 am
Ms. Keys is on fiyahhhhh. Haha. Couldnt resist.
January 22, 2013 12:06 pm
I really liked the dress! She looks cute, but since she is short they should have cut off more. So good dress bad alterations LOL!
January 22, 2013 12:37 pm
Looked better on the model….she’s too short for that style of dress in my opinion….
January 22, 2013 1:51 pm
I no longer like her as a person but even I know she looks good in this dress. The back is the best part though
January 22, 2013 2:41 pm
The front of the dress is ok but I love the back
