T-Pain, I love you, but that hat's gotta go.
I was watching the Grammy's red carpet with my small group girls last night. We enjoyed both the beautiful dresses and making fun of the really not beautiful dresses. And while they almost made me go deaf with their screams when the Jonas Brothers appeared, we had fun trading observations. In general, we tended to agree. My biggest gripes were the lack of rock and the overabundance of glam.
It's so frustrating that Paris Hilton uses her piles of unearned money to wear crap like this. Doesn't she purport to have a sense of style? Lord knows she's never proven that, or that she's got anything else besides money.
Kate Beckinsale went a little too far. This is definitely an Oscars dress.
Katy Perry's Red Carpet dress was a sharp contrast from her costume on stage. She went from vamp to the Chiquita banana lady in less than an hour. Didn't really like either look.
I wish Paula would stop going out in public. She so clearly doesn't have it together in any respect and doesn't know anyone who does either, or they would stop her from wearing stuff like this: Paula Abdul
Cyndi Lauper's eccentric rock and roll style for once wasn't hideous but perfectly fitted to her and super cool.
Estelle just got it wrong. She had one of the hottest songs of the year and comes out looking all Jetsons. And her shoes were like hole-filled socks with heels attached to them.
Now for the gents.
Kings of Leon were the best dressed group of the night. The right balance of "we don't care" dressed down with " however, we still wanna look awesome" dressed up. Rock star hair to match.
T-Pain was a perfect example of the Hat-wearing trend (so hot for guys right now) gone astray. But hip hop artists do what they want. Another good example of not-good-hat-wearing is Futureman. Maybe worse than T-Pain. ARrrrr!
And it's not that all rappers choose to be ridiculous either. Kanye and T.I. both arrived looking fly and so did Young Jeezy, which, probably unfairly, I wasn't expecting. And one of my faves was the always gangsta Snoop Dogg.
But Jason Mraz was prob my pick for best dressed male of the night. Chucks, paired with a nice suit, funky tie, and a good example of how a hat should be worn. Perfect mix of cool and flare, but still dressed up.
The most mismatched pair of the night was definitely Allison Krauss and Robert Plant. He's a rock god. He doesn't answer to earthly fashion rules. It's just unfortunate that half of the reason for all his awards this year happens to be stunning and polished. Not that he cared, but there was a sharp contrast between him and his lovely female counterpart.
I love the Grammys because musicians from all genres mix with film and TV stars and the red carpet is "like a box of choc-o-lates". Less risks were taken this year though. Is it wierd to think that the girls looked too pretty? I guess I just wanted more diverse styling choices than the very pretty, fluffy pinks and classic lines I expect from Oscar night.
