VIDEO PHOTOS Barbara Steisand at the 2011 MusiCares Person of the Year Tribute

The stars were out in force for the 2011 MusiCares Person of the Year Tribute to Barbara Streisand, but as you would expect, none out-shined the matriarch of divatude and guest of honor Barbara!

The 68-year-old singer/songwriter/actress/director looked the part of this planet’s Queen of Entertainment wearing a regal black dress and matching black fur coat and walking arm-in-arm with the poster man for handsomosity, James Brolin:

Barbara seemed to be in good spirits as she laughed and smiled for the cameras, showing off some cleavage bling worthy of the crown jewels!

The Tribute included numerous performances by the likes of LeAnn Rimes, Tony Bennett, Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison, Darren Criss, Herbie Hancock, Diana Krall, Barry Manilow, Donna Summer, Stevie Wonder, Jeff Beck, BeBe Winans, Nikki Yanofksy, and Herbie Hancock.

Here’s a video preview with interviews from the red carpet and snippets from the concert, including Glee‘s Dalton Warblers, LeAnn Rimes, Nikki Yanofsky and Babs herself:
