Sanaa Lathan, Michelle Williams and Nia Long opted for more understated colors. Lathan’s cinched peplum with a maroon accent was stunning, while Williams did her version of sexy, i.e. something resembling a turtleneck. As for Lathan: damn girl, look at that cleavage. Santa Baby indeed.
Monica Calhoun, Melissa De Sousa and Daphne Wayans were inspired by silver and sparkles.
The men at this event were a mixed bag. Terrence Howard inexplicably carried some sort of crystal jewel while wearing a shiny pinstriped suit – with hat – while Mario was all in waxed jean material. But Taye Diggs sported a fantastic salmon bowtie and Eddie Cibrian wore the navy blue version of Morris Chestnut’s blazer. Also would wear.
Speaking of Eddie Cibrian: he and wife LeeAnn Rimes took this opportunity to seize the holiday spirit by posing in a variety of ways together. She decided to wear shoes we’ll call bag boots (because that’s what they resemble) and some sort of grey jersey-esque workout dress. And it was a very L.A. Christmas for LeeAnn Rimes.
