Confession time! I did not watch the 2012 Grammy or the Red Carpet coverage show last night, and truthfully I have not watched any award show since the late 1990s, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not catching up with the big night’s most notable moments. I love music and fashion just as much if not moreso than the next girl. Unfortunately, I don’t have the money to purchase high quality images from last night’s show but I’ve got a video for you above that you can check out.
First off, I want to say that I’m still heartbroken that we lost one of music’s biggest legends the evening prior to the 2012 Grammys. I grew up listening to Whitney Houston and I loved her songs, so I’m still reeling over this news. I also hope her daughter Bobbi Kristina can find the strength to carry on.
Back to the lighter news, I’m so glad Adele won, Jessie J sparkled, and Whitney was remembered. That night we had not only had a lot of fashion hits and misses, we also has a lot of questionable looks(what was up with Fergie’s see-through orange dress and what was Nicki Minaj thinking with her red hooded dress?). Let’s dissect the night further….
The Best: IMO, Jessie J’s gown was hands down the best look of the night! She simply sparked in a silver Julien MacDonald gown! I also loved how she kept her entire look simply understated with a high ponytail and simple makeup. Adele also looked gorgeous that night with a black Giorgio Armani gown complete with a boat-style neckline and three-quarter sleeves. Other winners that night include Katy Perry(who donned a dreamy blue crochet Elie Saab gown), Lady Gaga(anyone who can wear a custom-design black fishnet Versace dress receives props in my book), and Kelly Rowland(who wore a formfitting Alberta Ferretti peach gown complete with an embellished bodice).
The Worst: I like Carrie Underwood but I really didn’t like her fashion choice for that night. The Gomez-Garcia gown she wore that night looked more like an oversized over-embellished pillowcase as it didn’t flatter her figure. Other disappointed fashion choices that night came from Rihanna(her Giorgio Armani gown was pretty but too revealing) and Taylor Swift(the fabric of her Zuhair Murad gown is kind of). Check out the video above from US Weekly for full red carpet coverage.
Questionable Looks: The two most questionable looks of last evening came courtesy of Black Eyed Peas’ frontwoman Fegie and Nicki Minaj. Fegie’s see-through Jean Paul Gaultier show’s the singer’s undergarments- tres tacky. Minaj’s red hooded monstrosity(a Versace gown with a strange beaded face design on the front) stole the show from Gaga with the most bizarre getup of the night yet she didn’t quite pull the look with such aplomb.
