Fashion Run Down | 2014 Grammy's

Hello Beauties ❤

With awards season in full swing, I thought it only appropriate to dedicate my first blog post to the red carpet looks we all saw at the 2014 Grammys last night.

All in all everyone at the awards looked pretty good so picking only four best looks was difficult. However the first one was a no brainer; Taylor Swift. Taylor looked BEYOND drop dead gorgeous in her silver sequin Gucci gown. While I haven't been a huge Taylor Swift fan in the past, I do have to say she made a fan of me with this look. While I won't be singing 'Love Story' from my balcony any time soon, she still looks fabulous. The silhouette was extremely flattering on her tall frame and the cinched in waist line did her serious justice. Combined with the effortlessly chic hair and make-up, no one did it better than T-swift last night; Eat your heart out Harry Styles.

Another stunner in sequins was Christine Teigen, wife of singer John Legend. Apart from being one of the most beautiful women alive in general, she looked so good last night I wished she was my wife. First and foremost we need to talk about her amazing bronzed complexion. Not only did it make her look like a goddess, it complemented her dress extremely well. Paired with the effortless chic ombré in her hair, there was not a thing I didn't like. Her dress was by Australian designer Johanna Johnson and although she was one of the first stars down the red carpet, this flawless look was not forgotten. Also, her arm candy dressed in Gucci really didn't hurt the overall look either.

Another star who just really nailed their look last night was Miranda Lambert.  She looked all types of sexy in her red Pamella Roland gown. First of all,  this woman deserves a round of applause for how AMAZING her body looks. She slimmed down and toned up, and there was no better way to flaunt her new and improved physique then in this dress. The plunging neck line was just enough to be sexy but not overwhelmingly exposed and the silk details on the waist were to die for. Her gorgeous blonde hair swept to the side and curled made her look glamorous and sophisticated - a side of Miranda we have not seen in a while. From her jewelry to her clutch, this look was an absolute 10.

The last best dressed look of the night goes to Ciara, who also rocked some hard core sequins. Wearing a long-sleeved Emilio Pucci Gown, Ciara made pregnancy look GOOD. I have to say she really surprised me with this one because usually I am not a big fan of her fashion choices. That being said, she absolutely killed this look. She looked fierce, sexy, and best of all, appropriate. Being pregnant and wearing a long gown don't always mix well, but she looked comfortable, and it fit like a glove. Having the effortless up-do and toned down make-up really added to the overall glam. With a dress this loud, I am thankful that her hair and make-up team understood that less was more. This was definitely a win for Ciara and preggos everywhere.

While the good were good, the bad were BAD and unfortunately, Ariana Grande, Sara Bareilles, Skylar Grey, and Paula Patton, really missed their marks in the fashion department.

Most disappointing was Ariana Grande who wore Dolce & Gabbana. Not only was there just way too much gown for a girl of her size, it was extremely unflattering. It made her look short and stumpy and most of all much younger than she is. I don't think the look was age appropriate at all, and for a girl as cute as she is, she really did it all wrong. The half up half down hair was awful and juvenile and the whole floral print matched with sating powder pink shoes made her look more like an American Doll than a pop star. Not to mention the fact she topped off the whole look with her nana's nude stockings. What it all boils down to is the fact that she should have worn something else - literally anything else.

Another flop was Skylar Grey. I say this with a heavy heart because I am usually a big Michael Costello fan, but this gown was just awful. There is just so much wrong with this dress that I don't even know where to begin. From the nude color to the awkwardly placed cut in the middle, the gown made Skylar look naked and washed out. The fabric looked like it belonged on a chair in someone's living room and not as part of a mermaid cut gown on the red carpet. However, that being said, Michael Costello is a genius and I am sure he will make up for it next time, Skyler on the other hand, may not.

Then there is Sara Bareilles. While Sara is known for her beautiful voice, this outfit choice really distracted viewers from that. Sara wore a high-low, fathered, Bluemarine gown, but mostly looked like she was wearing a wet handkerchief with old doilies hot glued to it. The color completely washed her out and the shape of the gown was immensely unflattering. But the sad part is, the dress wasn't even the worst of it. Her hair looked dirty to put it mildly. It looked like she was just coming back from spring break and forgot to take out those braids she had done at the beach. The accessories were another bust- the orange clutch and red patten leather pep-toes clashed with the dress every step she took. Better luck next time Sara.

Paula Patton really out did herself this year, taking home the grammy for worst fashion sense in the history of life. Wearing a gown from Nicolas Jebran's 2013 Spring couture collection she managed let the world know how much her stylist hates her. Rounding out the look with a bouffant ponytail and David Yurman Jewels, Paula was hopeless from the start. While I don't think this gown would be appropriate on any occasion other than on the runway, I do give her props for trying to bend the rules of fashion. However, she didn't just bend them, she snapped them, and it didn't work for her. There is just too much going on, between the zebra print, lion heads, and sheer segments, its overwhelming, but most importantly, its just plain ugly. It looks like a lion and a zebra had an unfortunate sexual encounter and the result was this atrocious gown. A beautiful woman like her should know better. There is always next year to redeem yourself Paula - no more animal prints for you.
