best dressed at the 2011 grammys
February 15, 2011 in fashion
As I mentioned earlier, yesterday was a big day on the red carpet. First we had the BAFTAs in London and then we had the Grammys in LA. Let’s check out the outfits at the latter.
The Grammys are usually much more out there fashion-wise than the film events, and this year was no exception. Demure nude gowns? I don’t think so! Here are the top themes of the event.
Sparkles: I don’t mean subtle sequins, I mean full on bedazzled frocks. While most went for gold (like Selena Gomez looking all grown up in J. Mendel), I preferred Mya‘s Jean Fares Couture ice-blue gown.
Black-on-nude: Two traditional red carpet colours combined with with cropped hemlines to create one hot look. Glee’s Jenna Ushkowitz in Pamela Dennis and Gwenyth Paltrow rocked it best.
Thigh-high slits: They were everywhere! Ciara looked amazing in her blue cut-out Emilio Pucci, with an honourable mention to a vampy Lea Michele for her black gown by the same house.
Just plain wacky: Lady Gaga is getting all the attention but when it comes to weird and wonderful gowns, I think Florence Welch‘s swan-embellished Givenchy was well executed – with a nod to Bjork’s own famous swan gown.
My favourite outfit of the night actually doesn’t fall into any of these categories, and perhaps that’s why I love it – I though a svelte Jennifer Hudson looked amazing in navy Versace. Whose look did you love?
I love the dress that Rihanna wore during her performance with Eminem. I personally don’t like her but the dress was awesome.
Lindsay – Ooh yes, I completely missed her gorgeous Dior Couture gown because she didn’t wear it on the red carpet.
Readers – if you missed it too, you can see it here.
