Grammy Awards worst dressed stars

By Andrea Petrou on February 1st, 2010

No celebrity fuelled event is complete without a worst dressed list, so we thought it only right to include this in our Grammy Awards special.

First on our hit list is usually perfectly dressed Jennifer Lopez who we can only assume got slightly confused about which trend she was meant to be following, with a half sci-fi, half chic look. We’re also not keen on the multi-layer style here either.

Ashanti’s frock, which looked as though the singer stole and wrapped her mother’s curtains around her also didn’t rock our boats. However we can’t deny the short fishtail style showed off the singer’s curves beautifully.

And although Ke$ha made it onto our gold trends list, we can’t say we’re overly impressed with her tassled short frock, especially when its teamed up with black sandals. Come on Ke$ha, you should know black shoes with a gold dress is a big no no.

However, our worst dressed winner has to be Ciara, who turned up as what can only be described as a pink Big Bird. Take that poodle off your shoulders and sack your stylist missus.

You may not agree with our choices, and if that’s the case then let us know by leaving your comments below.

Grammy Awards trend: Nude dresses

By Andrea Petrou on February 1st, 2010

Nude shades are going to be a big hit next season and it seems celebrities have already started wearing this trend.

Model and yummy mummy Heidi Klum showed off her pins in a nude short tunic style frock at this years Grammys.

Katy Perry also went for the same shade, but unlike Heidi opted for a long backless floor-length frock by Zac Posen.

And it was a nude mermaid look for Keri Hilson who arrived at the event in a stunning Dolce and Gabanna frock.

Who do you think wore this trend best? Let us know by leaving your comments below.

Grammy Awards trend: Gold

By Andrea Petrou on February 1st, 2010

There was a colourful array of frocks at this year’s Grammy Awards but one shade that made a huge appearance was gold.

Colbie Caillat donned a dark shade of this colour appearing in a long beaded and organza gown complete with a Jennifer Aniston style split, for her red carpet look, while Kathy Griffin sported a not so different style in a lighter shade.

However others, including Keri Hilson took the trend to a completely different level opting for metallic hues over the traditional red carpet sparkles. This was the same in Country Collaboration With Vocals winner Carrie Underwood’s case, who showed off her award wearing a dark gold metallic frock.

Irish rocker Imelda May also showed she’d been struck by the midas touch opting for a gold mid length frock for her performance at the event as did R&B singer Ke$ha.
Although we’re sure you’ll agree some pulled off this look far better than others.

Rihanna wears Viktor & Rolf dress to Grammy Awards pre-party

Rihanna arrives at the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala in Beverly Hills

Rihanna not only pulled off her white feathered dress at this year’s Grammys, but also showed her versatile dress sense.

The Umbrella star turned up to the Grammy pre-party in a risky structured and panelled tulle dress from Viktor & Rolf’s spring 2010 collection.

We know if we were to try something like this we’d look like a giant marshmallow, but as always Rihanna, who teamed the fussy frock up with pink courts and her trademark quiff, looks amazing.

Some girls have all the fashion luck.

Do you think Rihanna pulls off this dress? Let us know by leaving your comments below.

Grammy Awards trend: Rihanna and Lea Michele wear feathers

By Andrea Petrou on February 1st, 2010
Grammy Awards 2010 - RED CARPET

Awards evenings always bring out trends we hadn’t really thought about, and this year’s Grammys have been no exception.

Although feathers have been lingering in the style aisle for a while, we haven’t seen many hit the catwalk or highstreet (unless of course you count the few which made an appearance over the Strictly Come Dancing phase.)

However, we have a feeling there will be a few more feathery styles lingering around following Rihanna’s decision to wear these at the Grammys, where she pulled off a white high-collared (and almost bridal) Elie Saab A/W 2009 dress, with a feathered neckline, perfectly.

And feathers were also the style order of the day for Lea Michele. The American actress and singer went for a short one shouldered navy cocktail dress, with a skirt covered in feathers, by Romona Keveza.

The two starlets may have picked completely opposite styles but we think the feather trend they both chose works really well.

Mary J Blige wears Roberto Cavalli to the 52nd annual Grammy awards

While Lady Gaga was busy showing off her outrageous dress sense, other singers decided to go for something a little bit more key, namely Mary J Blige.

The R&B singer walked down the red carpet and performed Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water” on stage with classical singer Andrea Bocelli in a cobalt blue strapless beaded jersey dress from the Roberto Cavalli Pre-Spring 2010 Collection.

We think this colour, plus the beaded detail makes it a perfect awards frock and puts Ms Blige into our best dressed list.

Lady Gaga goes for three cool and kooky outfits at this year’s Grammys

While many celebrities chose to turn up in a demure fashion for this years Grammys, we’re pleased to see Lady Gaga chose not to.
And the kooky singer known for her outrageous outfits definitely did not disappoint, sporting three different outfits all designed by Giorgio Armani on the night.
She arrived at the event in a purple futuristic take on what we can only describe as a prom dress, complete with a star like staff and 70s style platform shoes. We don’t know what it is about this dress, but we have to admit we love everything about it, from the many glittery bands that shape the dress to the sheer sparkly sleeves.

While performing at the event Miss G decided to go back to her trademark style,sporting a huge 80s style sleeved jumpsuit, which didn’t leave too much to the imagination. She completed the look with her famous fierce eye make up.

However we think Lady G saved her best outrageous outfit until last. She posed in a silver mini sequined dress complete with a nod to the futuristic trend and what can only be described as a comic book style hat, while showing off her two Grammys in the press room.

And unlike other designers who have in the past been rumoured not to work with Miss Gaga, Mr Armani seemed thrilled to be selected.

He said in a statement: “We hear Lady Gaga’s music everywhere we go. It is like a soundtrack of our times. In addition to her formidable songwriting skills, she is a modern fashion phenomenon. I am delighted to be creating these outfits on such an important night for her, the Grammys, and I wish her the best of luck.”

It was another evening of hair, makeup, heels and glam dresses for celebrities with the EMI Grammys taking place last night.

Singers and film starlets arrived looking turned out for the 52nd annual event in Los Angeles including Rihanna, who wore a gorgeous white high neck dress complete with feathers and sparkles. Beyonce, who scooped up a wooping six awards including song of the year, best R&B song and best R&B female vocal – all for Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It), was also a winner in the style stakes wearing a plunge neck gold and white beaded dress.

And it seems white was the colour du jour for stars this year, joining Rihanna in the white stakes was R&B singer Toni Braxton, and country-pop singer Taylor Swift, who wore a white tunic style dress backstage before changing into a gorgeous sequined mermaid dress to collect her four awards.

Following the mermaid dress trend was Katy Perry who looked absolutely stunning in her sequined and organza frock next to fiance Russell Brand at the 2010 EMI Grammy Party at the W Hollywood Hotel.
