Vanessa Williams Arriving at TVLand Awards
June 9, 2008 by Tom
Here are photos of the lovely Ugly Betty’s Vanessa Williams on the red carpet at last night’s TVLand Awards. It was good to see she brought her beautiful daughter, giving her a glimpse of our TV heritage.
I’ve rarely seen Vanessa in black, but man, that color looks good on her. It must have been a little hot during arrivals, but Williams is a pro, and seems to handle all situations with grace.
In only one of the pics can you notice the Spanx. 
I wonder if other celebrities like her spilling the beans about how most everyone in Hollywood needs a little help to look perfect.
Williams is always a cool and gracious host – I am surprised she isn’t used in this capacity more often, but Hollywood is a young person’s town, they always say. But, there’s no denying that Williams is a bigger star now than she’s ever been.
There will (hopefully) be video. I’ll post it as soon as it’s available. More Vanessa Williams pics after the jump!

Aww, her daughter is quite a lovely young lady.
Hey Vanessa, (another Vanessa here). I’m doing some research on our name and was wondering if you know any history behind it. Mine was from my great-grandmother, but she’s passed on now so I can’t ask her where it came from. Thanks!
