2011 Essence Music Festival---- Stars Of Hott Fashion In 'JAIDEN's EYES'

It's always EXCITEMENT when a music awards ceremony airs on TV or takes place somewhere because that's when all the stars come out and put their best foot forward (sometimes) when it comes to fashion.

Check out a few brief photos from the 2011 Essence Music Festival, complete with stars like Usher (above), Taraji P. Henson, Fantasia, Macy Gray, Lance Gross, Fantasia, and more...

INTERESTING: Fantasia's New Blonde Hairdo

Artist Fantasia Barrino is known for having several different hairstyles, and yet she recently rocked a new one.... which didn't go over too well with the blogging world.

Media Takeout said HOODRATCHEDNESS.

A fan said, 'That's tooooo ghetto!'

...And I say, 'It's an interesting look for a fashion show or performance, but not for EVERYDAY!' But maybe I should cut her some slack since she's being practicing for a movie role...

Fantasia performing on 'American Idol' on March 31, 2011; her weight gain is tied to a movie role.
