A Different Kind of Grammy's

Fashion students not only tuned in to the 54th Grammy Awards this year to see the numerous performances, but also to see who stole the spotlight on the red carpet. Not We not only watched Nicki Minaj being accompanied by a man dressed as the Pope, we also witnessed how celebrities reacted to the sudden passing of a superstar, Whitney Houston. Whitney was never the “fashion icon” you would look upon for fashion sense, but she was the epidamy of a superstar in every way, especially for the Grammy’s. Even with the death of the superstar, many fashion guru’s like ourselves were also watching for the fashion scene stealers and best dressed celebrities of the evening. Here are the top two best dressed and worst dressed celebrities I felt helped bring “positive buzz” to an already sad evening.



BEST DRESSED

Adele: Dressed in a custom Armani Prive floor-length gown with De Beers accessories, the singer “stole the night” in a gown that showed off her figure perfectly, winning six shinny Grammy’s including Record of the Year. To the haters who comment on her figure, as Adele has said “I write music for the ears, not eyes".


Rihanna: Giorgio Armani got all the press Sunday night, since Rihanna wowed in a custom gown by the legendary designer, including Christian Louboutin shoes and Neil Lane jewelry. Though some critics will say her “friends” are hanging out, who else could pull off a dress with slits everywhere, she took a simple black dress and made it "va va voom"




WORST DRESSED

Anne V: Don’t get me wrong, I think Adam Levine is a stud off and on the music charts, but his girlfriend Anne V. looked like she was trying to pull of a sexy slit dress that ended up looking like she was wearing half of a bathing suit bottom. Just because you you have a great body, doesn't mean you have to show your um, thigh?


Nicki Minaj: Personal opinion here, but I did not understand her choice of a head-to-toe Red Riding Hood-esque cape, with a crystallized Versace logo she wore with a Pope at her side. As the stylist.com perfectly stated, “Madonna pissed off the Vatican 25 years ago”. Not sure if she was trying to grab the attention, but a little unnecessary for the circumstances of the night.


What do you all think? Another celebrity that should be on a pedestal or the chopping block?
