What is the name of my blog again?
Yeah, I forgot too.
And yes, I know, the Grammys were like, so long ago, but there are two things I have noticed after the fact.
1. February's edition of InStyle Magazine featured Anne Hathaway wearing the same Bottega Venetta dress Sandra Bullock wore to the Golden Globes.
2. Kim Kardashian first wore the same Brian Lichtenberg dress for her birthday soiree in October that Lindsey Lohan sported at a Globes after-party with one major edit: she sported said frock on her head.
3. What does this have to do with anything about the Grammys? Pretty much nothing except to reinforce that when I do post something on my blog, it is in effort to bring forth useful information.
Confused? Good, because I was going for the 'If you can't convince them, confuse them' ploy.
Winner of a whopping four grammys, Album of the Year recipient Taylor Swift in an off-shoulder blue sparkle by KaufmanFranco. The most interesting element of this dress was the back: the shoulder straps were held by a thin, horizontal-continuous strap across her back from the shoulders. (I've been unable to locate a picture, natch!)
My girl B set record by receiving six grammys. She had nearly the same number dress changes, all by different designers, this here by Stephane Rolland. B typically opts for the mother/daughter design of their House of Derion but I'm glad she ventured to show her couture clout. I should add her ceremony dress was by Armani Prive--was a short sleeved/length number, and made one wonder if she was comfortable. There was not one spot left unlinked and I was curious how B's booty was handling.
Super Trendsetter Rihanna looked a little like Santa Claus in her Elie Saab gown but I did like the basic dress: floating chiffon length, mache heavy shoulders, and the extra-room to breathe fabric in the hips.
Miley Cyrus was age appropriate in a teal Herve Leger by Max Azria and gladiator sandals. Notice the closely knit bands that are separated by small lace connectors. At first look, the dress seems heavy but notice she balanced it well with exposed legs and solid gladiator sandals.
Heidi Klum in an Emilio Pucci mini with long sleeves and Jimmy Choo shoes.
All winners in this shot: at Clive Davis's annual pre-Grammy bash, Katy Perry in Georges Chakra, Taylor Swift in Collette Dinnigan, Rihanna and Fergie in Zuhair Murad.
Who can forget the year's walking art installation, the ever impressive Lady Gaga who wore Georgio Armani, maker of several of her looks of the eve. I thought grammys supported peace; Lady showed up and shined with a multi-spiked--and dangerous in her own hand, star.
I think most commendable is that she can walk in (and some would argue on) anything.
And yes, she is supposed to look like a drag queen. It was a shout out.
So, what is the useful information in this year's, er, month's post? Respect the dress, have fun with your look, but don't let it all go to your head.
