The FiFi Awards, held at New York’s Armory, honors the fragrance industry, and it must be more exciting than it sounds, because Mary J Blige, Kate Walsh, Paris Hilton, and Queen Latifah all showed up in their sweetest-smelling bibs and tuckers.

The Good: It’s hard to refrain from use of the word “regal” when the Queen brings it like this.

The Good: Tovah Borgnine was honored last night. Husband Ernie introduced her and was apparently proud as punch. They look charming.

The Good: Samantha Harris shows why 60’s revival Olympian nymph is perennially fun for summer.

The Good: Let’s just say it: I hate Hilary Rhoda’s spiderweb shoes and gladiator booties foreshorten the leg something awful. But. This sculptural neutral is chic and interesting enough to overcome my aversion!

The Bad: I have a terrible feeling this is Paris Hilton’s attempt at intellectual fashion!

The Bad: It’s a family affair! At first glance Kathy Hilton’s frock looked just fine, even pretty. Then I noticed the peephole. Then I noticed the nude bra clearly visible under the peephole.

What Say You? As usual, Kate Walsh looks, let’s just say it, dope. But what do we think of her (truly outrageous) Gem costume?

Again, Mary J rocks it. But what Say You of the Edenic fall-via-Woodstock that is her gown?
