I didn't see the red carpet show, so I don't know if she changed or not. The dress I saw was a l/s gown and it looked on the brown side to me.....and had vertical stripes and a wide black waist band. It was very becoming on her. And, I thought it was very appropriate to wear for the song she sang.

I cry every time I hear that song.......and every time I see that movie.....it was so touching about a beautiful friendship between 2 women......

I also like the way she had her hair fixed. Very becoming on her.

Yes, preshow on the red carpet she was wearing a straight red flocked gown, totally different gown when she sang.

On the Red Carpet one of the interviewers (Kathie Lee maybe) asked Ms Midler about a comment she'd made about women over a certain age showing cleavage. She said her girls hadn't been out in a long time and she was taking them for a walk.

I thought her Red Carpet dress was more flattering. She looked slim and trim while the one she wore when she sang was frumpy.

Remember when she sang to Johnny Carson on the last Tonight show!?

I just love her....

I also liked the Red carpet dress better than the one she wore to sing in.

I love Bette Midler and she was absolutely fantastic last night. Her voice is still perfection, and she looked gorgeous in that dress. Of course I was crying at the end of that song, one of my all time favorites, second only to the Rose. I met Bette Midler many years ago when I was walking to work in the Wall Street area. She was pulling up in a limo on Water Street and was just getting out when I was walking by. I could not resist and I went over to her and just said "I don't want to intrude Ms. Midler but I have to say I am one of your biggest fans, you are an amazing talent and just wanted to say hi". Well, I did not know what to expect but she was as kind, gracious and lovely as she appears to be. She gave me a great big smile and shook my hand and thanked me. Then I went on my way. She was going into my building where there were some law firms. I always remembed that day. Also saw her sing live many times and always bring a big pack of tissues.
