First off, let me just say that the Grammys are probably my least favorite awards show. I know, super positive. But the thing about the Grammys is that it’s just a bunch of musicians (duh), but they take it so seriously because, unlike actors, they don’t have a ton of awards shows to go to. I mean, I guess there’s the AMAs…but let’s be real…the Grammys are the only music-related awards show that matter (just my humble opinion).
And these musicians, they’re all about “expressing themselves…” Ugh. And I guess they want to do it with their fashion. And you know what? It’s hideous. I don’t even have enough time to list all of the worst-dressed people because it’s like Helena Bonham Carter had coked-out kids with Snoop Dogg.
Listen, I try to be more understanding for the Grammys. I know this isn’t the Oscars. It’s supposed to be a little crazy…but…ugh…
BEST:
Kathy Griffin. So this is probably an unconventional choice, but honestly she looked better than most of the people there. She is usually not very well dressed (although she’s been doing better in recent years), so to see her look like this is great. She is super thin. I saw her perform in person and was shocked at how small she is. She’s nominated for best comedy album, which is why she was there. Anyway, I love this color and it’s age appropriate. Not to mention I think this looks great with her hair color and skin tone. And this was probably one of the dressiest looks all night.

Selena Gomez in J Mendel. Another age appropriate look. This was dressy and appropriate for the awards shows, but still fit the fact that she is an 18-year-old girl. Her hair looks great, I love the caramel highlights. The pink lips and blush make this more youthful. I also love that she kept it pretty simple with the jewelry. And some cleavage, but not too much.

Jewel in Pamella Roland. Jewel is FIVE MONTHS PREGNANT! She looks AWESOME! What a glow!
Bella Sugar
Keri Hilson. Now, it’s not that I love this look, or that I think she was so much better than some others not listed here, BUT… I think if you’re an “artiste” wanting to do something a little different, something a little bit bolder for the Grammys, then this is the way to do it. I think she looks sexy, edgy and put together.

WORST:
John Mayer. John Mayer is, how do I say.., a TOOL. His hair, the sunglasses. And, hey, nice Lester the Molester mustache! I hate this off-white jacket on him, because it seems to be saying, “I’m too cool for this. I wanted it to look like I just threw this on but it really took me four hours to get ready.”

Rihanna in Jean Paul Gaultier. This is just such a tacky look. It make me think that someone went to Joann’s and bought some cheap feather boas, then glued them to some mesh. And, of course, Rihanna thought this was a great dress.

Katy Perry. Ugh. I think a metallic angel threw up. Why did you need feather angel wings? And a stuffed bra? And the skirt looks like some kind of weird see-through plastic coating that comes around packaged food.

Ricky Martin. Oh, Ricky… who helped you get ready today and convinced you that silver metallic leggings, combat books, and a jacket/tie would be a good combo? I mean if you had worn this a few years ago, you could have spared yourself a People cover. (I’m sorry, I know that was mean. But what was he thinking?!)

Lady Gaga. About Lady Gaga. I left this train a long time ago. Listen, I understand wanting to be a good performer. And I understand wearing strange costumes sometimes. But when that’s all you wear…and you’re never just “you,” that is a problem. A while ago I saw a report that Gaga went to her sister’s high school graduation dressed crazy. That was kind of the tipping point. I mean, you can’t even be normal and let your sister have the spotlight at a high school graduation?
Ryan Seacrest did an interview with Gaga’s “Creative Director” and her “model.” What.the.fuck. Sorry about the language. But they brought this egg over and they were talking about how she’s in the “incubation” process. And if she’s “dialating.” And that they can’t tell us what she’s wearing, what the egg is made of, and that she spends so much time planning that she needs to incubate the process. Can you PLEASE pull your head out of your ass? Please. This is just too.
And of course the reporters of E! were saying it’s “brilliant,” and shows “dedication,” etc. Just, no.

Listen, I could go on and on because there was just a lot of material to work with. Plus, people who would have looked horrible at the Emmys, looked like superstars at the Grammys. Here’s the takeaway from it all: Lady Gaga is dreadful.
