I absolutely love
awards show season. Especially now that
Facebook and Twitter are a part of our daily lives, it is even more fun to post
and chat with friends (and frenemies) in real time about the show. The Grammys are, of course, among the most
colorful of the awards shows and the red carpet fashion is without a doubt the
most entertaining. This is because
musicians are the quirkiest of artists and you never, ever know what they are
going to turn up in on that red carpet.
The show was pretty
good – nothing we’ll be talking about in 20 years but entertaining enough- but
my favorite performances were Lorde’s “Royals”- my favorite song right now; and
Carol King with Sarah Bareilles. I always
enjoy the old school/new school collaborations.
This year’s red carpet, however, was pretty boring! That dress code CBS imposed last year must
still be in effect! There were some
questionable ensembles. Pharrell’s
Smokey the Bear hat had its own twitter account before the show was over and
Arby’s asked him for their hat back! He
replied to them asking if they were trying to start a “roast beef”! Too funny!
I love that guy! Even though
there were still more risks than we generally see at the Oscars, Globes, or
Emmys; they really didn’t work well (or horribly) enough to even mention.
I did, however, pick
a few celebs that I thought looked classically pretty so I’d like to celebrate
them here!
Ciara and her baby
bump were adorable in Emilio Pucci

Taylor Swift was
cute in her “mother of the bride” Gucci.
I know – that was border line shade, but really! That dress could have easily been a mistake!

Amber Rose is in Naeem Khan! She
has never made my best dressed list before!
The first time I saw her last night I immediately liked her photo. Then, I just as quickly crossed her off the
list when I figured out it was her!
After watching Wendy Williams, I put Amber back on my list because of
why Wendy chose her! Wendy Williams chose
Amber as one of her favorites because she had the good sense to cover up those tattoos! Now, I am not anti-ink but I do believe they
can mess up a red carpet look and should be covered when you’re dressing up. Great decision, Amber! You looked very elegant last night!

My other two
favorites didn't hit the red carpet and it was tough to find photos or even who
they were wearing. I guess the squeaky
wheels are the ones who get the most attention even if they aren’t the most
deserving even in the entertainment business. (That wasn’t shade
either! I promise! *wink*)
Queen Latifah looked
good. I think the gown was Carmen Marc
Volvo but I cannot confirm! Finding photos of this girl was impossible!
Also, Julia Roberts
looked hot in what I believe was on an Elie Saab runway recently. I honestly thought she was pretty but I will go ahead and admit she is one of my favorite celebrities and would make my lists in a potato sack!
