We've got all the fabness...and not so fab...on Sunday night's Grammy Awards red carpet.  Check out the pics of all the YBF folks and speak on it... Lots of pics when you read the rest...

Hands down our fave look of the night...Rihanna's Elie Saab Fall 2009 Couture beaded top and open back long flowing pale pink (looks white in pics but is actually pale pink) gown.  The feathered detail and mock neck are hot.

And Rih pulls it off with simple strappy sandals and understated..yet glam...dewy makeup.  Loving her lashes?  They're our homie Ja'Maal Buster's not-yet-released "Notice Me" lashes.  Me likey.

Beyonce, who raked in 6 Grammys,  rocked a long and uber fitted nude Stéphane Rolland Fall 2009 dress with embroidered decoration.  Didn't love it...dress did nothing for her.  And no dress on a Grammy Award red carpet should be a zip front.  She also had some odd multi colored sparkly strands in her hair.

She should have worn her second dress as her red carpet dress.

Mandisa made an appearance in a bright pink dress.

Mary Mary picked up the award for Best Gospel Song for "God In Me."

Loving Mary's pink dress.  Understated but still sexy in Gucci.

Lovely Dolce and Gabbana dress for Keri.  Something we've seen before on the red carpet rounds, but she pulls it off very nicely.  And topped it off with Neil Lane jewels.  Pretty.

Ashanti reached back a few years to pull this dress out.  Hair and makeup on point...but a diff choice of dress would have been better.

Johnny Boy Legend...

Jennifer Hudson looked slim and trim on the carpet in this Victoria Beckham dress.  She said she's been working out for an hour a day/every day.  And it definitely shows.

She brought her fiance David along of course. Looking fab Jenny.

Loved Toni Braxton's David Miester dress.  Wrong shoes with it though.  Toni also announced she and her fam are getting their own reality show called "Braxton Family Values."  Hmmm.  She won 2 awards sin the pre-telecast. Head to toe Givenchy or not..me no likey CiCi's look:

Ciara is dipped in Givenchy couture yet again.   And said she was trying to "cover her oohs and aahs" despite the hole-y material.  Her jewelry is from Cartier.

Gayle King tried to tap into her 25 and under side.

Mya was spotted on the carpet with Usher.  She's rocking a long silver slinky dress.

Black Eyed Peas rocked out the carpet.  Fergie's in a cute blue and silver Emilio Pucci snake ribbon dress by the way.  They've already won 3 awards already in the pre-telecast.

And Melody Thornton looked sleek and chic in her two toned champagne and silver sparkling gown. The Hip Hop fellas on tonight's carpet:

Akon donned a Lady GaGa shirt...he says he's her #1 fan since he's the one who discovered her.  And T-Pain hit the carpet looking like he's about to make a trip to the grocery store.

And Twista tried to clean up his image.  Kinda.

In non-YBF red carpet fabness, Lady GaGa looked  like a solar system arriving.  And we expect nothing less from her really.  Rumor has it Armani made this concoction for her.

But Common brought the hotness as usual.

Who told Musiq to rock this plum and gold suit with matching gold shoes?  WHO I SAY?

And Neicy Nash was a sparkling chick in this champagne colored dress with a ruffled dark champagne bottom.  That damn flower...

YBF chick Melanie Fiona looks gorgeous at her first Grammy Awards tonight.  A one shoulder black drop-waisted ball gown complete with black and silver edgy jewelry and minimal makeup.  Fab. She's nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. Now that we've just been embarrassed by the shuckin' and jivin' of General Larry Platt on the red carpet show, it's time to check out who's hitting tonight's 52nd Annual Grammy Awards:

Black sparkles and beads kicked off the carpet. Alfre Woodard showed up early in this long and strapless black gown. The top is low cut with a side bow and with sequins.  And India.Arie is sparkling in a long black basic dress as well.

Alfre's hubby is her date.

I see India's still keeping it simple.  She already won a pre-telecast award for Best Urban Alternative Performance.
