best dressed at the 2012 grammys and baftas

February 13, 2012 in fashion

Let’s take a break from the film awards for a moment and head on over to the biggest night in music, the Grammy Awards.

I must say the red carpet was even less exciting than those at other awards shows, and I was particularly disappointed because I love a bit of crazy Grammys dress action.

There were, of course, a couple of out-there outfits. Nicki Minaj wore a crazy red Versace cape (and came with a Pope-costumed partner) and Lady Gaga was covered in black netting, also by Versace.

Otherwise, the theme of the evening was black. Golden girl of the evening Adele wore hers by Giorgio Armani, Alicia Keys went for the classic LBD by Alexandre Vauthier, Gwyneth Paltrow opted for cutout Stella McCartney and Rihanna wore a plunging Giorgio Armani.

Nobody really had the “wow” factor for me so is it ok if I give my best dressed to somebody from the other awards night on this side of the Atlantic?

To quickly divert back to film, the BAFTAs were also on last night – and I loved Michelle Williams‘ black and white dress by (wait for it…) H&M! Also stunning were Jessica Chastain in Oscar de la Renta, Viola Davis in eco-friendly Valentino (her hot pink dress was made from recycled bottles!) and finally, Miss Piggy looked every bit the diva in Louis Vuitton.

What looks did you love on the red carpets last night?

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?
