Top Five Grammy Moments

Phew, there has been a slew of Red Carpet shows held this month! I have been glued to my TV screen and Twitter feeds to catch the celebrity looks walking across the red carpet.

 

 

Out of all the awards, the most fascinating one is the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards, recently held on 13th February 2011. There were many amazing outfits and some, hmm not so amazing. I'll let you see for yourself.

Nicki The Leopard

Nicki Minaj, Franken-Leopard.

Nicki Minaj, hip hop and R&B singer, decided to come as a leopard to the Grammys. Not only is she covered from head-to-toe in Givenchy leopard spots, she also donned 'Bride of Frankenstein' hair-do to finish her look.

 

Her outfit is not really something I would wear, but I think Nicki Minaj does look great in her own way. Fashion is about fun and self-expression, and she certainly looks like she's having fun!

RiRi - Hot or Not?

Rihanna. Can't decide whether I like her outfit or not.

Rihanna's Grammys look probably made all the men and women take a second, third, fourth and maybe a fifth look.

 

In Jean Paul Gaultier, Rihanna's white ruffles-striped couture gown left little to the imagination. She had nude coloured pasties and underwear to cover her modesty. But really, I think 'modesty' is the wrong word to use here.

Here's Ryan Seacrest trying not to look at RiRi below the neckline.

That said, I believe Rihanna looks incredible. But then, of course she would, with that body of hers. It is a gorgeous gown with the ruffles being varying width down the body. I just wish there was something more to cover the practically nude body.

 

Beautiful Nicole

Nicole, thank you for not disappointing me!

When Nicole Kidman walked across my TV screen on the arm of her husband, Keith Urban, I gasped at the beauty of the  strapless floral gown from Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring 2011 collection.

 

After her blah gown at the Golden Globes, I wasn't expecting much at the Grammy Awards, but she totally blew me away with her more-daring-than-usual choice of JPG. She even paired the gown with a leopard print peep toe heels.

Bronze Goddess?

Kim K falling flat... fashion-wise.

Kim Kardashian came to the Grammy Awards looking less than stellar (in my opinion) in the this Kaufman Franco gown. The drapes in the front were too loose and protrude forward, which did not flatter her figure.

 

Different angles.

Although I have to admit that the fabric of the dress is pretty gorgeous with its gold sparkles, this was not a gown I'd have picked for Kim K. I also wouldn't have paired them with nude Christian Louboutin pumps.

 

Come on, Kim! I know you can do better than this.

 

Lady Gaga's Egg-citing Arrival

Lady Gaga arriving at the Grammy Awards in an egg.

If you hadn't caught the Grammy Awards and is now asking, 'What the heck is THAT?', then let me tell you about the egg that the flamboyant Lady Gaga arrived in.

 

Actually, why don't you just watch the egg arrival?

 

In a pod designed by Hussein Chalayan, Lady Gaga yet again created a fashion havoc on the Red Carpet. As told by one of her minions, "She's in an embryonic state and won't be born until the performance."

 

Lady Gaga only emerged out of the pod during her first perfomance of the new song 'Born This Way'. She performed in a sheer latex Thierry Mugler creation, complete with freakishly pointy shoulders.

Shoulder horns and sharp cheekbones.

The next major Awards show to watch out for is the 83rd Annual Academy Awards, otherwise known as The Oscars, which will be held on 27th February 2011.

 

Expect more glam, glitz and fashion!

    Yeah have to agree on all the points, except that I think that Rihanna's dress probably caught my eye the most. I wouldn't mind having THAT on my arm. The Gaga egg is just gaga all over, can't say much to that except well, its Gaga.

    1. Nicki Minaj - No comment except that I'm not a fan of her music.
    2. Rihanna - I actually dig it! I don't care what others say, I thought it was brilliantly sexy!
    3. Nicole Kidman - Va va voom and definitely more vibrant than her Golden Globes number.
    4. Kim K - Agree that it doesn't flatter her, and I'm kinda sick of seeing her wearing nude peep toe pumps every. single. time.
    5. Gaga- All. A. Gimmick. Not digging 'Born This Way' as much as 'Hold It Against Me'. And with words of wisdom from the ever pubescent Justin Bieber. "...People say it's artistic or stuff. I'm just like, 'You're an egg!'"

    Shahiboy: why am I not surprised that you don't have any complains about Rihanna's gown? Lol! Yup, Gaga only arrives the only way she knows how -Gaga style!!

    Amy: LOVE ur comments! I've concluded that only Rihanna can pull off a gown like that. Ditto on Nicki Minaj. Wondering why she's suddenly so famous, when I can't even recall any of her songs! Kum K should learn that nude doesn't go with everything and I think Lady Gaga is going off her rockers! But have to say that she affords us some entertainment on the red carpets!

    And I CAN'T wait for the Oscars! Watch it with me!!

    I just read this! Kim K really did look pregnant from the side with that outfit on man, and I was not digging Rihanna's Mrs Claus look either.

    I like how you said "minion" for Lady Gaga's peeps. Haha!
