The GRAMMYs!

I love music.  I love watching artists perform live because there's so much more passion in the nuances of a live performance that draw whoops and tears and chills outta me.  And I'm a sucker for acoustic guitar. :)  I've been looking forward to the Grammys for a month!  And when they announced Frank Ocean, Bruno Mars and Justin Timberlake performances, you know I flipped out! 

Every awards show has a red carpet pre-show and who better than musicians to flaunt gorgeous new and artful outfits.  Here's my take on some of the outfits that really caught my attention on the red carpet tonight!

Rihanna - red dress, red lips, soft hair - This red really suits her warm skin tone,  and is perfectly fit to her slim upper body, the fabric cuts at the torso were sharp and contrasted well against the softness of the fabric at the bottom half of the dress. 

Taylor Swift - This dress is simply elegant.  I really like that silver straight line near the neck that goes straight down to the waistline.  That piece elevates the whole dress from the every-day-wannabe-grammy-worthy to red-carpet-worthy!

Carrie Underwood - so hot!  Perfection in all the details.  I am a huge fan of the pattern!  So feminine and pretty.  Love!

Justin Timberlake - Not that I'm biased, but he looks so good. ;) I love the pocket insert with white trim detail.  Not too much or too little, but rather just enough to show off some personality.  Not sure I care for the bowtie style, but hey, this suit is cut perfectly for his (amazing) body, so I'm willing to look past it. 

 

 

Other notables:

Sting
Nicole Kidman
Bruno Mars
Pharrell
Kelly (DC3)
John Mayer's blue coat

Here are my "What the hell were you thinking?" mentionables:

LL Cool J - Stop with the hat.  No picture required. 

Beyonce - Black and white catsuit - not a fan.  Too simple for the occasion!

Jennifer Lopez - Nice shoes but that dress looked like an extended swimsuit.  Disliked the hairstyle, too!

Ed Sheeran - Oh ye with the red hair and milky white skin, a black suit is a no-no! Great suit, wrong colour.  But I dig the hair cut. 

Florence Welch - What was with the green stegosaurus get-up? Make-up is all wrong, hair is boring.  She needs a stylist.  With her summer complexion, there are a million choices for colour and fabric out there better than this one!

Katie Perry - Is that a dress or mint-coloured saran wrap? And yes, we see the colourful barnacle situation competing with her boobs.  Not my favourite outfit of hers. 

Signing off for now..... Going to catch the rest of the Grammys! :) <3
