Grammy Fashion



Hi, All. Been a while, but I just couldn't wait to post my favorites from this year's Grammy awards. Were you like me and watched the whole thing? My husband & girls knew to keep at least 5 from Mommy on Sunday night while I watched. Put that one down as another check toward mother of the year!

I want to start with the fellas. Gotta say that the prayer LL said in memory of Whitney knocked him up a few notches in my book, and he was pretty high to begin with. There will never be another "Round the way girl" circa 1996. Anyway, I loved the velvet jacket/hats. He rocked it and was one of the best hosts. However, my favorite dressed man of the night was....drumroll, please....JASON ALDEAN! He is adorable, true to his own style but instead of rocking the country shirt and jeans, this guy was HOT in a tailored suit which I found perfect for Grammy night.

On to the ladies. I've had a little help from Fashion Police on E! because those hosts are SPOT-ON, you hear? Joan and George, love you both! My favorite dress was on Kate Beckinsale in Zuhair Murad, who has absolutely nothing to do with music, I am disappointed to say. Aren't the rock stars supposed to be the belles of the ball at the grammys? Anyway, a close second was Jessie J in Julien Macdonald, who I am partial to because of her music/style but the mirror ball dress was perfect for her body and the event.

I am left wondering, like many of you, why do these young stars want to dress so old and matronly for such a carefree event like the Grammys? Pretty dresses, yes on Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, and Carrie Underwood. Appropriate for your age, absolutely NOT! Actually, Miranda Lambert was my worst dressed for the evening. I will say this again in case you have missed it for the past 16 or so years via the homecoming court days. Are you ready? If you are blonde, please stop wearing this flesh-tones, blush hued dresses!!! They do nothing but wash you out, despite the craft and beauty of the gown. You can't pull it off, blondes, sorry. Accept it, and put on some jewel tones already!!! Are you listening Charlize Theron? Oh wait, wrong event but I am still reeling from that one. Sorry, Ange.

Please weigh-in and let me know your best/worst of the evening. I thought it was the best Grammy awards I have ever seen. PS Who loved Coldplay/Rihanna? Me, me, me!! Favorite performance of the night.

Until next time, friends. Can't wait to hear from you!
