The music industry is known for all sorts of pomp. Everyone is a Marie Antoinette and low maintenance is never in their vocabulary. Hell, even Jewel has to hire a stylist and she lived in her van.
Whatever it may be, the Grammys is fabled for all sorts of drama. Think Milli Vanilli. This year the horrible and the horrific didn’t disappoint. There were a few tasteful winners, but all in all, they all got their freak on!
In the music world, that, in a way, makes them winners, right?
Rihanna
BEA: She broke her neck on the way to the wedding; hence, the fluffy white neck brace over the white gown.
CELINE: The dress to scare any commitment-phobic man away!
Lady Gaga
B: I’ve seen this look before — at the Baclaran carnival.
C: She let her hair down on this one. With all her looks, I’m numbed.
B: Clash in session.
C: She’s not trying too hard. Means it was a good year! Well, career-wise!
Beyoncé
B: Sasha Not-So-Fierce.
C: Not what single ladies should wear if they want to
put a ring on it.
Lea Michele
B: My haterade kind of disappeared when presented with Glee’s Michele looking super cute.
C: Yes she’s an actress, thus the safe wear. Safe wear is a showcase that this woman will be in the big leagues one day. It’s kinda sad.
Ciara
B: I know everyone’s talking about downsizing and the New Economy but this is ridiculous.
C: Now, this is music!
Pink
B: The Moulin Rouge costume department called; they want their dress back.
C: And who is she trying to be?
Miley Cyrus
B: Party in the USSR.
C: She scares me because she’ll be Britney in 3D.
Katy Perry
B: That vent on the side of her boobs is for display purposes only.
C: Bad clothes happen to good people.
Nicole Kidman
B: Is she channeling the wicked witch of the (wild) west?
C: Even at the Grammys, she bores us to tears with her alcoholic-country club-aunt look.
Taylor Swift
B: America’s Sweetheart tends to bore me, but this dress is so Jackie Collins circa the ’90s I can’t resist it.
C: It’s disturbing how she already dresses up like Nicole Kidman.
