• 2012 NCLR ALMA Awards' Red Carpet

  Watch the 2012 NCLR ALMA Awards Friday, September 21 at 8PM / 7PM CT on NBC.

The 2012 NCLR ALMA Awards airs this Friday, September 21 (on NBC at 8PM/7PM CT), but there's no reason to wait to see just how the red carpet sizzled and how the stars literally lit up the night... er, day.

The 2012 edition is again hosted by Eva Longoria and George Lopez, and will feature special awards and recognition to recently deceased, acting pioneer Lupe Ontiveros, global star Christina Aguilera, and Ryan Lochte and Hispanic Olympians from the London games.

Since 1995 the NCLR ALMA Awards have celebrated Hispanic achievements in entertainment, film, TV and music, helping to affirm the positive image and contributions of Latinos in the United States.

While such recognition is all the more important in today's hyper-politicized environment where almost one-third of the country believes that most Latinos are undocumented immigrants, we also have to be cognizant of the fact that people love to check out stars on the red carpet.

So for now, we'll put away the serious discussions and just sit back and let these stylish, beautiful, handsome and sexy Hispanics show us how it's done on the red carpet.

Don't forget to catch the awards show this Friday, September 21 on NBC at 8PM/7PM CT.

Aguilera looks like Mae West.

Nicole looks like a starving raccoon.

I find it hard to stare at her black-hole eyes. Are there people that find that attractive or pretty?

Aguilera looks much much older than her age. Not aging well and looks very alchohol bloated on top of the fat.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

why does her face look like a racoons

[ftl400]

06:10 AM on 09/21/2012

um.... headline correction'

she is NOT a star.... having a famous father does NOT make you a star

in this case, nothing more than a VERY homely spoiled brat

That's a lot of dislike for someone you don't even know. Jealous much?

[littlelucy]

12:31 AM on 09/22/2012

I was wondering the same thing.

Then you must be jealous of Aguilera then.

Why all of the absolutely uncalled for nastiness aimed at Nicole Ritchie? Some of those other women and men didn't look all that hot either. Or could it be that she's just not Latino enough for some you? She's a successful businesswoman with a wildly popular and lucrative fashion line. So what's up?

[murkystarlight]

Christina Aguilera -- Ouch! Eeew. Is that post pardtum weight or just plastic surgery gone horribly wrong?

[altheschrod]

12:48 AM on 09/21/2012

Nicole Ritchie needs a washcloth and some soap and water to wash her face--the makeup is downright gruesome!

[ftl400]

06:12 AM on 09/21/2012

it's the FACE.... not the make-up

[MrDeLeon]

10:57 PM on 09/20/2012

Everyone looked beautiful and handsome. Eva was best in my opinion.

[Shell71]

10:54 PM on 09/20/2012

I can't get past the black eyes to really notice the dress.

[Katie Frazier]

10:17 PM on 09/20/2012

Everyone looked great, I didn't see one bad outfit. My only issue is with Christina Augilera...she used to be so pretty and now she looks like an over stuffed barbie or something. smh sad.

Everyone looks great! Especially Mr./Ms. Target dog on the Toca, Meinl, or Matador conga!

Why is she being called a styar? What has she done besides appearing on a reality show? That, by itself, does not qualify her as a star. Same goes for anyone who's sole claim to fame is appearing on a reality show.
