He also rocked the sunglasses with the light brown tint giving serious rock star shine, And, Miss Jackson wore a lovely black mermaid cut gown that showcased her hourglass figure with a sheer on the shoulders with a silver bag, And she was the only one of a few who wore her hair swept back in a ball which is the standard look for females to wear their hair at a red carpet black tie affair.
THE TOP DRESSED GENTS:
9.Dwight Carter. Although he didnt wear a tux jacket, it would have covered this
unique shiny gray vest with black bordering.
8.Leland Lambert. This former Mr Couture wore a tailored black tux jacket with white shirt, black tie with white stripes and winter white slacks.
7. Vincent Dery of "Nico and Vinz" Although he didnt wear a tie with his all black suit, he was able to pull it off with the tailoring of his look complimenting his dark complexion.
6.Nikko Smith. He was one of few who wore an all white suit (and shoes to match), but he changed it up with a black shirt and gray tie. Hmm, but where was his trademark derby?
5.Thurlester Robinson. Always one to sport a different spin to the suit at these events, he was a standout wearing a black dotted gray suit jacket, black bowtie and winter white slacks.
4.Nick Cannon. There were many classic tuxes worn that night, but the America's Got Talent host was quite an eye-turner with this tailored look on his tall frame. And his hair hawk complimented his look.
3.Superego Mitchell. He gave vintage tux with the white smoker jacket with black trimming, white shirt, black bowtie and pocket square, black tux pants with black stripes on side. And his shades helped compliment his dapper look.

AND THE TOP DRESSED FEMALE WAS
This lady wore this black mermaid style gown with shoulderless top and the bottom half made of sheer multi hoops with white trimmings was WOWING. With a small black clutch and white bracelet, she looked classy and fashion forward. Her straight hair also complimented her look.
Below is the back of the gown:
FOR GOOD MEASURE, BELOW ARE SOME OF THE OH-NO'S OF THE NIGHT. THERE WERE MANY MANY MANY TO CHOOSE FROM BUT THESE LOOKS BELOW ARE THOSE THAT STOOD OUT.
As far as gents, this guy wore an off brown ensem that was the wrong attire for a black tie event. At least the lady next to him looked as though she was going to an evening event.
There were some ladies who had ON NO ATTIRE
This gown had too much going on with a long black stripe on white with a black ruffle in the back.
This lady wore an unflattering white party dress with black lined print and black stockings. OH NO!
This young lady wore a see through gown that looked more like lingerie that was more for the club rather than an after five event. Interestingly enough her guest wore a very conservative suit vest and slacks.
AND
These ladies ensems were...well....at least they were in black. The one on the left's velvet dress with straps and a wrapped fur was not flattering and the lady on the right's gown was ill-fitted and the blue eye shadow and swept to the side curly brown tresses did not compliment at all.
Well, thats our lists. If you agree or disagree with our choices feel free to leave a comment in the comment boxes below.
SEE YOU ALL AT THE 10th ANNUAL BALL in 2015!
You nailed it on the best dress couple for the evening, however I think that Nelly and Nick Cannon were a tie for bet dress men. Your pick for best dress female was quite surprising. The young lady's dress looked like something from the Jetsons or a circus. Aloha and Nikko Smith both disappointed me. Ms. Aloha either you take the jacket completely off or you keep it on. Keeping the jacket on your shoulders mad you look like a coat rack. Nikko Smith you looked like Frosty the Snowman in his wedding attire. I was really surprised that I didn't see any head turners besides Tammy Holland, Blu Bolden, Ashley Nichole and Shantal Jackson, and Nelly's niece and daughter were adorable. There wasn't much to chose from to compile a best dress list but you had enough misses to compile a worst dress list. Like 3 pages full.
