Last night we were all feeling the excitement and pressure that celebrities undergo when attending the biggest night of the year, in not only music, but one of the biggest in fashion too. Since it's inception 56 years ago, the Grammy Awards has always been the 'It Party' and only the best and most fashionable celebrities attend. Usually with tailor made gowns and couture but some of the worlds biggest fashion gods of our time.
Instead on focusing on the couture of the evening in general I've decided to focus on a selection of outfits which I think really stand out. Both for the better and for the worse. We always see the best stars of the decade, being new or old, in the best attire ready to 'wow' the crowd. However it isn't everyday you seen two of the biggest stars of the 80's and the past three decades stealing the show.
To begin with, Cyndi Lauper shows all of us kids how it's done by rocking a gorgeous, just above knee length McQueen dress, perfectly matched with a cropped cape, also by McQueen. Perfectly matching those gorgeous heels is a hefty gold necklace, which drapes perfectly over and with the outfit, not only complimenting, but eccentuating her bold, signature hair colour.
Followed by of course, the Queen herself, Madonna. Madge is known to make a statement, still, at award shows and public appearances. However this look seems to be a dive into the past. Wearing a beautiful cropped and tailored Ralph Lauren suit and hat, obviously binged out with signature jewellery and...a cane? Perhaps it's not just her face that's looking old. Time for new knees Madge?
Last but my no means least on the best dressed list, is if course Beyoncé. Stealing headlines across the globe in this amazingly detailed and flattering Michael Costello gown, she (or her stylist(s)) certainly know how to keep her looking Bootylicious! The perfect lining of the dress to her curves make her look even more Devine than usual, not to mention the lace coverage, which leaves a little more to the imagination. Paired with her golden and wavy locks this certainly shows why she should have beaten Taylor Swift for that best dressed award, perhaps it was to console Taylor's rain of swift misfortune at the show?
Now for the worst dressed first we have Katy Perry. Now I know all of you Perry fans out here won't agree with me here, but I in no way think it's Katy in the dress that let's the outfit down, it's the dress itself. I don't think anyone could pull off a dress that looks like it's just come off the top if a Christmas tree. Either that of the leftover scribes of music notation left over by her worst dressed buddy, before her music career ended before it even started. Perhaps Valentino should stick to classic, evening gowns?
On that note... It's time to look at my second worst dressed. On the other hand it's not so much the dress, it's the dress on Paris Hilton. The Socialite stepped out onto the red carpet in a revealing, but covered up Haus of Milani number. Now while the dress is made up of Italian lace and potentially chiffon, the material does not drape on Ms Hilton as much as I would like to see. Not to mention the fact the colour of material, designed to give a split leg effect, doesn't match her skin tone....
All In all a great year for music and fashion, never the less I'm sure we can all agree, that the beautiful Macklemore stole the show for the guys, I'll leave you on this beautiful note...
