Oprah's Legends Ball
 

I'm surprised that there is not a thread about this. But over the weekend Oprah through a Ball to honor African American women who she feel has paved the way for her and others. It was a black and white ball and from the stuff I saw on the news it was some fine sista's there. It was a who's who of Black and White Hollywood. Damn Oprah, where was my invite! I heard it was no press there so I don't know if anyone can find pictures of the event.

FYI
 

They're pictures of a view of the guests on oprah.com.

I saw some pix. Yahoo made it impossible to post pictures, so I can't link it. I saw a picture of Soror Star, wearing a nice white dress, w/o BGA.

There are pictures at editorial.gettyimages.com. I know ST will be able to post the pics from there.

You could have at least given us the link, man.

There was an article on yahoo news.

Oprah hails Legends

May 17, 2005





SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- Oprah Winfrey rolled out the carpet for a lavish tribute to pioneering black women, then strolled it herself in a red Vera Wang ball gown. Guests including Usher, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were on hand for the Legends Ball on Saturday night.

The talk-show host joked with friends and praised the 25 honorees, including Coretta Scott King, Diana Ross, Maya Angelou and Cicely Tyson. ''These are women who, when I was growing up, made a difference for me,'' Winfrey told reporters. ''The first time I saw Diana Ross and the Supremes on 'The Ed Sullivan Show,' it changed my life.''

I'm gonna have to look at these pics a second time later because I was not feeling any of them..........:( :o

Sorry AKA2D

star is looking skinny? I know Al was so mad she left him home, you know that's the only reaon why he married her... to be in the spot light

I agree... Janet Jackson is slowing getting bigger and bigger and Patti, Dionne or Ashanti wasn't looking to hot.

I think it was Oprah's Monday show that she showed the party. I happened to catch it because I wanted to see this woman that lost 360 pounds.

But I saw some other pics, and guess what...BGA is there...she didn't leave home without him. If I knew how to post the pic I would.

As I go back to the picture. Patti seems like she's been under the knife...AGAIN. She almost reminds me of the late Celia Cruz.

I believe they are airing the show on Tuesday. Oprah is looking like a DIVA in that RED dress. Also that pant suit was cute too but I don't know if she changed at the ball or if that was a picture from somewhere else.
