According to reports, there was a reason that Beyonce’ was a no-show for Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards. She found a new vocation. Designer Tom Ford threw an exclusive cocktail party that same evening for New York’s glittering fashionistas and A-listers, which turned out to be a preview fashion show of Ford’s first self-named womenswear line.

Her proud mom, Nicole Mitchell, cheered her on from the Front Row, as her best friend, Staci J, sat next to her. Other celebs in Edwing’s show included Vanessa Simmons and Dawn of Diddy’s group, Dirrty Money. Meanwhile, Angela Simmons, Kim G from “The Real Housewives of New Jersey”, and R&B singer Jo Jo also graced the Front Row.

Plus, he wore heels.” The former stripper says Prince has custom made high heeled bedroom slippers.
