Did you see it? The Grammy Awards have been the talk of the town and main topic in the office place since yesterday morning. I had the pleasure of seeing majority of it (in my fuzzy slippers and on my living room couch) and was anticipating the red carpet glamor and style. Seeing a number of A-list celebs under one roof and their counterparts make Hollywood gossip even more juicy. Who is wearing what label? Does hair and makeup complete the overall look? The image of each celebrity is effectively portrayed with a carefully selected gown and bling displayed ever-so-gracefully on the red carpet. The performances were surprisingly entertaining, and there was obviously less restraint on the budget for stage decor and special effects. Besides the recognition of talent, the Grammy clearly records the history of Hollywood fashion and couture. Check out these divas I feel would be nominated as “best dressed” in my book of fashion and style!
Taylor Swift: This young starlet is a role model for little girls all around the world. Although I feel her dress was a little too mature for her age, the silhouette and color proved she was a true lady. Her dress was by designer Kaufman Franco in a shimmering navy blue color. This glittery ensemble complemented her porcelain skin tone and sky blue eyes. The off the shoulder gown had a rectangle cut out along the front and structured back which was very classy.
Lady Gaga: This futuristic pop icon has done it again! Her gown was a collaboration with Giorgio Armani and was part of the Armani Prive couture collection. A celestial-inspired dress matched with awkwardly formed glitter platforms, her overall look was a subtle touch to her bloody monster-esque image. She was a walking art piece, and her gown is the real definition of couture. This talented pop star looked like she was playing the part of an orbit or stardust. She definitely knows how to make an entrance and steal the spotlight. And only Lady Gaga can pull off wearing an art installation as a gown! Ra-ra-oh-lala!
Beyonce: A definite diva! Her look nowadays have been structural pieces that symbolize the strength of being a glamorous woman. Her Grammy gown was made by designer Stephane Rolland in a soft nude color. This fishtail gown was intricately detailed with fabric applique, and contoured along the seams. The feminine color and intricacy of construction really flattered her womanly figure–and she proved she is more than a woman. She is fierce!
The red carpet trends were primarily nudes, golds and metallics. The subtle colors were well balanced with the complexity of the garment’s construction. These avant-garde gowns have made an impression at the awards shows and on me…The perfect way to end the weekend!
Who do you think made the “best dressed” list?
