This year’s 53rd Annual Grammy Award fashion on the red carpet left me thinking, “where do I begin?” So let’s get the bad news out of the way first.
Lady Gaga. She shocked me alright. I was expecting some hair raising number when she was “hatched”.

With the exception of the horns spurting from her forehead, the rest of her was subdued compared to what we’ve seen in the past. (But then, I didn’t see her later on in the night.) Nevertheless, you have to give the Lady credit as she continues to amaze us and gives new meaning to the idea of re-inventing oneself.
Jaw-dropping moment goes to Nicki Minaj. I don’t get it and quite frankly, I don’t want to. But as long as she does, that’s all that matters.
And guys, please! Adam Levine, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, while we don’t expect tuxes, do pay attention to your footwear.
Rihanna gets marks for the most talked-about dress on the red carpet turning heads as they tried to see if they could catch a glimpse of her lady parts.
However, all is not lost as Kristine Elezaj gracefully saves the night in a swirl of elegance.
Belle of the ball honours go to Selena Gomez who doesn’t need to be nominated for anything, as she already is an award in this J. Mendel gown. A great sense of style at such a young age. And speaking of youth, Kelly Osbourne is another breath of fresh air in a delightful girly lavender frock by Tadashi Shoji, which reminds us that spring is around the corner. Thank you, Kelly!
All that glitters really does for Jennifer Lopez and Mya as they light up the red carpet in a parade of metallics and golds.
Let’s not forget some eye candy for the ladies, as dashing men Matthew Morrison and LL Cool J. are hitting all the right notes.
Song bird Jewel shows off her baby bump in demure canary yellow Pamela Roland. Pregnancy really does make a woman glow. Another great stylish Hollywood mommy-to-be.
Best dressed couple: I declare a tie! While Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Lopez looked ravishing, respective hubbies Keith Urban and Marc Anthony are their best accessories.
The most memorable moment of the night goes to Katy Perry. While perched on a swing singing “Not Like the Movies”, film footage of her wedding played in the background. Not only was she beautiful in her live short frock, but even more so in her Elie Saab bridal gown.

I don’t know what it is about Grammy fashion. You either like it or you don’t. In any event, I’ve managed to come up with my picks for the evening in order of preference: Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, Jewel, Mya and Kristine Elezaj.
What are your picks? See you at the Oscars!
Lots of pics after the break
