2011 Grammy Awards Fashion Recap

Posted by Claire | Monday February 14, 2011

Grammys bring out the weird in people, so it sometimes can be hard to know who's serious and who's pulling our leg.

There was big hair...

Janelle Monae, Esperanza Spalding, Bruno Mars

...and outfits that bored.

Leann Rimes, Natasha Bedingfield, and Katy Perry (plus PDA-playing hubby)

The flops (both intentional and not?)...

Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Willow Smith (cool purse, hon, but the rest is just confusing)

... and the highlights.

Selena Gomez, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez

Okay, I know I'm going to get flack for these thumbs-up (with the possible exception of Selena and that stunning pink lip), but this is the best we've seen from Nic so far in 2011 (as in, not boring) and J.Lo works it like no one else, agreed?

Gaga of course gets her own mention, as would anyone who arrived on the red carpet inside of an egg (at right, how she looked when she hatched). Very Madonna-meets-Klingon-warrior-maiden.

And let's talk about Kelly Osbourne for a sec. Don't hate me, but I kind of love this dress--on her. Maybe I'm swayed by the absolutely gorgeous makeup. Is it just me?

What did you think of the Grammy fashion?

And no matter how hard Nicki Minaj tries, she would never measure up to Gaga

I haven’t seen her in awhile, has she lost weight, or is it just the dress? Either way she looks great and that makeup job is beautiful on her.
	on February 14, 2011 Ali de Bold STAFF said: Wow, Kelly Osbourne looks great! I love her makeup and haircolour and the colour of her dress. But I think if she lost the bow and/or the frills were contained to either top or bottom the dress would look a lot better. Love that Gaga arrived in an egg. Her creative team must have so much fun thinking this stuff up!
