I don’t generally review the Grammy red carpet, for what I thought was good reason. For many going to the awards, the object is to be the most ridiculously dressed guest and the lines between fashion and costume essentially vanish. Then I considered the fact that those who camp it up likely put as much, if not more, attention into each detail and they rightfully deserve my time and critique. So, shall we?
Boom. Eve you divine bitch you. This crystal dotted pin stripe pant suit by Naeem Kahn is gorgeous. And just to make it Grammy appropriate, we lose the top. Might as well show off the best tattoo in existence. ME-OW.
Note: The white rose is the shows way of paying respect to the #TIMESUP movement. It is a nod to the suffragettes, who often wore all white.
Lana Del Ray takes a ton of grief for being a sort of hyper-poser, but tonight it’s about the dress and hers could be on an Oscar carpet. No surprise, it’s Gucci. I even dig the crown of stars.
What the hell, you guys? Where’s all the ridiculous attire? Kelly Clarkson looks fabulous. She’s wearing Christian Siriano.
Pink wore Armani Prive in an attempt to frighten anyone who tries to take her awards from her.
Jack Antonoff is the lead singer of the band Fun and was dating Lena Duhnam until recently. Now he shows up at the music awards with a Lena look-a-like who turns out to be his sister Rachel. No idea who she’s wearing. Who would claim that? The top half is like a fancy chiffon golf shirt and the bottom half is clearly on loan from Bjork.
Ever since Cardi B became a thing I’ve been on board. I don’t know why and I’m not even sure I “get her”, but I’m in for the ride where ever it goes. But I was admittedly blown away by her gown. She looks like an angel. An angel with talons that could fly off with a toddler. Seriously, she looks fab.
Anna Kendrick is wearing a rather fetching Balmain pants suit with a lace top. It’s so retro and I love it. Though it isn’t really a red carpet outfit.
Kesha popping in on her way to a rodeo.
Gaga looked amazing in this Armani gown that rolled out several feet around her.
And not unlike many wedding gowns, the train of the dress can be removed so you can walk around pseudo naked while millions of people observe. Side note: yikes! Look a the tiny dress on the woman seated to her left.
Colombian-American recording artist Kali Uchis wore the most ill-fitting body suit with just the worst shades of pink all over… she looks like the fashion embodiment of chewed bubble gum.
Le’Andria Johnson is a singer, I’m told. Despite the fact that her breasts are barely and yet painfully smashed into this gown, I still like it over all. I think the maroon stole is a perfect accent.
Miley Cyrus is wearing Jean-Paul Gaultier 2007 Couture. I’m not sure that qualifies as vintage, but I really love when people look outside of the current runway for some of the power pieces from previous years. She looks well “suited” (pun intended) in the military inspired jumper.
Cyndi Lauper is wearing a Moschino suit with cupids printed on it and shaggy purple tinted bob hair cut and some how makes it all work.
My best friend Chrissy was there with her husband John Legend. She looks UH-MAHHZZIINNNGG. As always. Like a gorgeous disco ball. #PregnancyJoke
I don’t know this woman, I’m sure she’s lovely, but she needs to just cut it out. Just stop it now. Go home real fast, change, come back. This wont do.
Joy Villa is apparently a singer songwriter and Trump supporter and … I’m gonna go ahead and guess pro-lifer. Using the carpet to make a point is nothing new, but painting your dress is pretty unique. I’ll keep the rights to my body though, thanks.
And finally, while this isn’t the red carpet it must be considered and shared. Blue Ivy sits between her father, Jay Z and her mother Beyonce. Bae is wearing actual adjective “fierce”. I can’t see clothes, just attitude.

fantastic write up, as usual. if I can laugh multiple times at descriptions, it’s a win in my book.
I think that green suit lady is…is she one of the twins from that show…what the hell was it called…sister sister? but honestly, if I were on the red carpet, this would probably be the only thing I would feel comfortable in, pants and some sort of fancy jacket that looks like a dress. just like not that color and not that fabric and not that styling.
what’s his face’s sister date looks like someone I would talk to for a few minutes and then die of my eyes rolling out of my face.
not to get too political but I’ve always been confused about the message “choose life”. it kind of implicitly condones choice, doesn’t it? anyways, is she the kook who wore the trump dresses before? I feel bad for her for so many reasons.
