Best Dressed: 2016 Grammys

Red carpet season continues with the 58th Annual Grammy Awards. While we’re used to seeing the biggest Hollywood actors and actresses strut their stuff on the red carpet, this is one of the rare times we get to see today’s hottest musicians show off their style. Photos courtesy of Zimbio.

Best New Artist nominee, Tori Kelly, look gorgeous in green! It’s one of her dreams to be at the Grammys and perform and for her first Grammy appearance, she did not disappoint in the one shoulder Gauri and Nainika dress. While her style is usually more edgy, she decided to embody classic Hollywood and I absolutely love it. Her beautiful hair off to the side paired with the natural looking make up helped put together the whole classic look. This look, hands down, was my favorite of the night. Also, I lowkey wished she won. She’s come so far and she stays grounded.torikelly58thgrammyawardsarrivalsv21shtgytoml

Demi Lovato showed us she’s a boss on the red carpet. At first, the look didn’t scream out to me, but seeing her walk the red carpet confidently definitely screamed out at me. You always have to make sure you WEAR the dress and the dress doesn’t wear you. And she WORE that Norisol Ferrari blazer dress. The top half was business and sophisticated, but the bottom half with the long slit made the look sexy and edgier. And while that neckline was really low, that beautiful chain necklace stood out to me. What’s wrong with being confident? Nothing at all, Demi. demilovato58thgrammyawardsarrivals188atum4g0cl

Anna Kendrick showed up to represent Pitch Perfect 2 and introduce the Tori Kelly/James Bay performance. She will always make my best dressed lists and I don’t care what any of you say. She went with a black Emanuel Ungaro dress. She kept it classy up top and showed off some leg. Usually Anna’s at home entertaining the masses live tweeting, so I wonder what she was thinking during the show.annakendrick58thgrammyawardsarrivalskb1mrr93gbhl

Sometimes the Grammys brings out Hollywood’s favorite actors and actresses and CBS’s Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco came to represent. At first, I thought it was a sleek looking dress,  but she decided to stray away from the typical red carpet dress and went with a Naeem Khan jumpsuit. She shined, literally. The backless portion and the little peek a boo triangle in the front is everything.kaleycuoco58thgrammyawardsarrivalshxh82fxqnedl

Let me get straight to the point with Ciara‘s look. This dress was plain, PLAIN SEXY. She wore a halter style dress by Alexandre Vauthier. One side was black and white and cover the whole side, while the other side was black and went all the way down to her hip and exposed her whole left leg. It was a risque choice, but it worked for Ciara. She worked it.ciara58thgrammyawardsarrivalshotgv7bifmgl

It seems a lot of artists walked the red carpet in black dressed and Best New Artist Meghan Trainor was part of that trend. She kept it classy with a Michael Costello gown. I love the sparkles and the long sleeves. And it just fits her perfectly. I almost didn’t recognize her with her new hair color! Honestly, I’m sitting here thinking about why this dress reminds me of another dress I’ve seen, but either way Meghan still looked stunning.

It’s not my best dressed list if there’s no red gown thrown in! Ariana Grande showed up in a red Romona Keveza gown and she was scorching hot! I especially loved the bustier style top of her dress and how it flowed down with her train trailing across the carpet. A part of me kind of wished she rocked a different hairstyle, but I can’t picture this look any other way!arianagrande58thgrammyawardsarrivalsut8zjlf6f4xl

Adele rocked two dresses tonight and she did it confidentally. She started off with a black sequined Givenchy dress which reminded me of her dress from her Grammy premiere in 2012. She looked classy, as always. But my favorite was the red Givenchy dress she wore during her “All I Ask” performance. While I, along with many other Twitter users were wondering what was going on with the audio, I was still admiring the simple, yet beautiful dress.

Album of the Year winner, Taylor Swift, slayed the red carpet. We’ve never seen this Taylor on the red carpet before. First off, she debuted a new hair shorter haircut which I think looks adorable on her! She went off with a bright color block, a coral top and pink skirt. But not only that, it was a two piece Atelier Versace dress. She was daring showing off the midriff and the leg and walked the red carpet like she owned the damn thing. And she definitely owned it.taylorswift58thgrammyawardsarrivalshcrks90jrf5l

And who better to walk the red carpet alongside Taylor than her BFF Selena Gomez. She sparkled and had fun walking the red carpet in a blue Calvin Klein Collection dress. My favorite part was the side slits. But just like Adele, Selena’s other dress was my favorite. I’m not sure why she changed, but I’m glad she did. She decided to tone down on the sparkles and went with a solid red Cushnie et Ochs gown. But she did keep it a bit similar with the front/side slit thing going on.  Some of you may think the dress is so simple and not a standout, but it just looked so beautiful to me. I mean, she doesn’t usually stand out to me on the red carpet, but this red dress absolutely took my breath away.

Now let me shout out to the men who rocked the red carpet.

While all the guys rocked their suit and ties, Big Sean, Sam Hunt and Justin Bieber stood out to me. Big Sean always looks his best on the red carpet and I absolutely love the white blazer. If this doesn’t scream GQ at you, then I don’t know what else will. Sam Hunt didn’t go with the typical black, white or navy suit that we normally see. I’m not sure how to describe this color, so I’ll just go with pink. The color of his suit stood out, but look at how handsome he is. Last but not least, how adorable is it that Justin Bieber brought his little brother on the red carpet with him? He chose to rock a white blazer with black slacks and a black dress shirt. And he chose right. I’m glad he cleaned up for this show. Normally, we see his hair a bit unruly and his clothes a bit casual, but he slicked his hair back and threw on a suit and looked pretty dapper if you ask me. I’m a belieber. Get over it.

Now that the Grammys are over, who were your favorite looks of the night? Let me know!

Adele’s Top 5 Best Dressed List: 2015 Oscars

If you didn’t know it already, my favorite season is red carpet season and the 87th Annual Academy Awards marked the end of this year’s award season. I mean, I think the next big award show is the MTV Movie Awards right? But we won’t be seeing Oscar dresses on that red carpet (Although I’m quite excited to see who’s look will be making everyone talk).

Anyways, I chose my top 5 looks of the night and let me tell you, it was not an easy choice. Out of all the celebs that walked that Oscar red carpet, I flagged about 13 dresses and it was hard to narrow it down.

Here’s a little disclaimer before I get started: I am in no way a fashion guru and if I were to be honest I don’t know enough to tell the difference between the fashion designers’ styles. So again, these are just my opinions and what I find most appealing to my eye. I like what I like, you like what you like, so feel free to disagree with me, agree with me, whatever you’d like to do.

Oh and before I move forward, I also did a VLOG version of this post! I’m not too proud of it (I think I sounded boring), but you can check that out here:

WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, my top 5 looks of the night:

#5 Katie Cassidy
Katie Cassidy has always been one of my favorite fashionistas and she blew me away on the Oscars red carpet! I was a bit surprised to see her on the red carpet. Don’t get me wrong, I love her and I’m proud of her success with Arrow. With that being said, her look stood out to me more than some of the nominees. She wore a sheer, silver gown by Julien MacDonald and when I saw the pictures I thought she looked so beautiful. It was a different dress with the detail, but the sleeves, the low cut, the off the shoulder look..everything was perfect.

#4 Anna Kendrick
The Into the Woods actress was one of the firsts to walk the red carpet at the 2015 Oscars, and while I may be biased because I absolutely adore Anna Kendrick, she gets the #4 spot on my best dressed list. When I first saw her step out on that red carpet, that custom coral Thakoon gown stole my heart. My first thought: “Is it too early to say Anna Kendrick gets best dressed of the night?” I guess it was too early, but she is still made my list. I mean, a lot of people probably were saying it’s too simple but I loved it anyway. The coral color screamed spring time and the diamond neck piece that held it together was absolutely beautiful. The updo and makeup complimented the whole look as well! She’s a princess 🙂

#3 Jennifer Lopez
Now I saw a lot of people had some negative and differing opinion’s about J. Lo’s look, but I thought her nude Elie Saab gown was beautiful! J. Lo never ages and she rocked that red carpet and flaunted what she got. Haters gonna hate, but she could care less. I also loved the addition of the belt to accent the waist and the detail of the sequins and don’t even get me started on the train. It was huge, but it was beautiful and it made her look like the belle of the ball! Now I know, Robert Duvall’s wife was practically wearing the same dress in a peach color (and without the belt), and don’t get me wrong, she looked beautiful too, but J. Lo stood out more to me. She strutted down the red carpet in true J. Lo style, confident and fierce.

#2 Rosamund Pike
There were a lot of red dresses among this year’s red carpet and Rosamund Pike’s Givenchy dress was my favorite! It was a strapless, lace gown that had a slit down the middle, and the whole thing reminded me of a rose. The little belt/cinched waist accentuated her figure and she looks so good considering she had a baby back in December! If you looked at the gown from the back, the top part was sort of like a corset and I thought that was really beautiful as well. Random fact: Gone Girl was the only nominated movie I had watched!

#1 Emma Stone
If you don’t love Emma Stone, what is wrong with you? No, but really, Emma Stone always looks so good on the red carpet and her in this Elie Saab dress landed her at my number 1 spot on this list. Normally, I’m not a fan of green/yellow dresses, but this color, chartreuse?, was absolutely beautiful on her skin tone. The beading flowing down from the top to the bottom of the gown was different for me, but I LOVED IT. I also loved that it had sleeves and all, but then Emma was a bit daring with the leg slit and the backless portion. It was both sexy and sophisticated. And of course the tinted lip color added to the whole look. She was stunning and that is all.

 

Honorable mentions. Remember when I said I flagged about 13 looks? Well some of the other actresses that caught my eye included:
– Dakota Johnson
– Jenna Dewan-Tatum
– Reese Witherspoon
– America Ferrera
– Jennifer Hudson
– Jennifer Anistonoscars

 

 

And a shoutout to all the handsome men in their tailored suits. These men were my favorite of the night looking so dapper and suave:
– Chris Pine in Georgio Armani
– Adam Levine in Georgio Armani
– Ansel Elgort in Prada
– Miles Teller in Prada
– Josh Hutcherson in Ermenegildo Zegna Couture
– Neil Patrick Harris in Brunello Cucinelli
