Grammy Awards 2015 Red Carpet

Awards season has opened - not much time ‘til the Oscars - together with Fashion Week in New York opening later this week. Counting that I also have an exam to take on Friday, this means A LOT OF WORK for me. 

But it’s fine, I love my blog and I love my few readers, and I love what I do. And I couldn’t wait to see the dresses celebrities worn for the red carpet of the most important musical event of the year: the Grammys.

In general, such an event it’s like the Oscars: everyone tries to dress up more soberly than usual, but remember that it’s all about singers and celebrities, and we all know how they like being in the spotlight - sometimes a little bit too much.

Check out my BEST DRESSED and WORST DRESSED lists. Here we go!

BEST DRESSED

Antonique Smith in Caché: There were many unusual choices as to dress code for this year’s Grammys, both for the best dressed and for the worst dressed. Indeed, instead of choosing the most famous celebrities wearing the most beautiful yet predictable gowns - see Beyonce, stunning as usual but with a choice of dress we’ve seen millions of times on the red carpet - I went for the 'underdogs’. Antonique, the actress turned R&B singer, was one of them: she opted for a low cost choice - Caché is a pretty cheap brand compared to big designers - and she nailed it in my opinion. I recognise this is one of those outfits you either love it or hate it, but I think it was very fresh, being two pieces, the top has a really sexy heart-shape - which I usually don’t like, but in this case it really suited her - I also love the bright orange - even if I’m not sure about the black roses of the prints. All in all, a smart choice. ★★★★

Pharrell Williams in Adidas: it was about time I put some men in my lists - I can’t remember when the last time was - and Pharrell was definitely the perfect one to use as an example of how men also can enter our best dressed list. And talking about unusual choices, he’s THE king - remember the mounty hat of last year? This time he chose Adidas - not a case he designed a collection for the activewear brand recently - in a grey short suit, very elegant, very modern and different, as it’s made of what looks like technical fabric. But the stunning thing about this piece of clothing is that it sort of 'changed’ colour when hit by the flashes of the photographers. Could you make a better choice knowing that you’re going to a red carpet and being shot by dozens of cameras? Just perfect. ★★★★★

Jen Goodall: if you’re confused about who the hell Jen Goodall is, don’t worry, I had the same problem as well. But if you’re a fan of The Black Keys, then you know: she’s the fiancée of Dan Auerbach, the musician from the band, and they are also expecting a baby. How sweet! Most of the times I see pregnant women making very bad choices on how to dress for a big event - Kim Kardashian is always the best example in this case. I don’t know who designed this dress, I just know that I completely fall in love with her, the empire silhouette is the best when you’re expecting a baby and yet there was a glow, a joy in the colour and in the pattern that, together with the styling - love her hair kept so simple - gave the look a boho aura which definitely elevates her as the coolest mom around. Congrats for both the baby and the dress :D ★★★★★

WORST DRESSED

Rita Ora in Prada: I couldn’t believe this dress was designed by Prada. Ora proved what I’ve always said: she’s just a bitch without any bit of taste - even if I used to dance to all of her songs in the clubs in London, ooops. I can’t really understand if she looks more like the Statue of Liberty or a skyscraper, anyway this dress gives me a cheap New York attitude. The worst thing is that you can see in her face that she thinks she’s the coolest girl on the red carpet. SAVE HER! †††+

Joy Villa in Andre Soriano: I told you not everyone went for a sober look, and Joy Villa is the proof of what I’m saying.  She was wearing one of those orange plastic fences they use on the streets when there’s work in progress. And she was naked under it. I just think people should understand they can’t always grab someone’s attention by dressing in this way, and you can’t do it unless you’re Lady Gaga. And GaGa was amazingly dressed this time. Unbelievably tasteless. †††††

Frankie Grande: stars should stop introducing their siblings to the celebrity world, because most of the times they set you for disaster. Ariana Grande is such a cutie, and she always dresses beautifully, and I don’t understand why she doesn’t tell her brother he should stay at home. I don’t have words to describe this awful suit, and I’m telling you, I have some pretty bright-coloured blazers in my closet. But this just looks made of Barbie fabric. Cheap Barbie fabric. †††††

My special mention this time goes to Madonna, who went around showing her ass in everyone’s face, making Lady Gaga stare at her with the most hilarious face EVER. I’ve always loved Madonna, she’s great, one of the greatest performers alive, but I must admit it, she’s becoming pathetic. 

And of course my second special mention goes to Rihanna and her Giambattista Valli dress which inspired THOUSANDS of memes on Tumblr. My favourite is the one you can see above. LMFAO
