Grammy Awards 2011

I am increasingly interested in Grammy Awards. Musicians are just so much more fabulously daring in the way they dress it encourages the usual red carpet goers to take some risk too.

Best Dressed / I Wish I Could Pull That Off:
She is wearing the full look but her androgynous demeanor and red hair just makes this dress work like there's no tomorrow! Put this on Jennifer Lopez and watch her drop to Worst Dressed lists. Florence Welch rocks this dress like it's an extension of herself.

The Beautiful Chameleon :
Rihanna looked divine in every distinctively different outfit she wore. Her smile and great posture gave all her looks a wonderfully romantic grace (not to mention that figure!), even with Jean Paul Gaultier's dangerous peek-a-boo layers and her barely-there fringed and beaded outfit.

I Am Domina:
 Ciara's usual OTT sense of fashion hit the right notes this year. Pairing her romantic gown with a very risky shoe choice, she injected an edgy oomph to the outfit. On anyone else this would have been a total disaster, on her, she owns this look.

We Should Have Swapped Dresses but We Still Look Fab:
It's a matter of age, but judgement aside, they both look fierce in their sequined choices. J-Lo still made her outfit age-appropriate, and Miley added her teenage edge with lots of bangles and highlighted locks.

Amateur Glamour:
Glee star Lea Michele and singer Kristine Elezaj exude "Grammy Glamour" wearing dresses with gorgeous trains and very high splits that boast their assets.

Veteran Glamour:
Going to a red carpet event is as frequent as going to the supermarket for these veteren red carpet strutters. They probably took half the time than the others to get ready and ended up at the top of most Best Dressed lists.

Sooooo Chic sooooo Effortless:
I am not familiar with Glee actress Naya Rivera, but she definitely caught my attention as one of the best-dressed at the Grammy Awards. Her make up, her hair, her shoes, her dress...everything is carried in such a youthfully elegant manner. Of course it helps that she is a beautiful girl.

I Sooooo Want to be Lady Gaga:

I Sooooo Want to be a Princess:

Wish granted Katy Perry, Uncle Armani is here to make that come true. I wonder when it is her turn to be Armani's campaign face...

I Saw Black Swan and I Loooved It:

Kelly has been recently impressive on the red carpet I must say! Putting these photos together, I imagined Kelly to be in something more like Anna's, but she chose a very feminine look and that dress suits her beautifully. Anna's dress has a great concept but she could have accessorized more and changed her hairstyle in order not to have the Black Swan-ness of the dress take over her.

Step Aside I Am Lady Gaga:
How can we forget her? Less jaw-dropping, still attention-grabbing, more refined. Also, how can we not applaud the creativity of her alien shoulders? I like.
