Carrie Underwood
I loved everything about her dress and it fit her perfectly while accentuating her curves. Her hair and makeup were flawless and the smoky eyes and soft lips complemented her dress really well. I also loved her red nails and diamond necklace. She looked classy and elegant and she looked the part as a Grammy winner.
Another Grammy winner that I loved was Beyonce...
Beyonce
I loved her pulled back hair and makeup with the bright red lips and let's be honest it's hard to look bad when you're as beautiful as Beyonce. Although, I found her outfit to be a bit underwhelming. I think that maybe she went with the black and white theme because she was introducing Justin Timberlake's black and white performance but still the outfit just didn't seem glamorous enough for the Grammy Awards.
I also loved Rihanna....
Rihanna
Her red dress was so beautiful on her and her flowing hair and bright red lips complemented the dress beautifully. Actually, I think this is the best I've ever seen Rihanna. It looks like bright red lips were on a lot of the Grammy winners and nominees this season...future spring makeup trend maybe??
Men don't normally make my best dressed list, but Justin Timberlake looked great last night...
Justin Timberlake
Clearly marriage agrees with him because he looks more grown up and put together then I've ever seen him look. His suit with the black and white details were perfect. However, I do like his curly hair better because his new slicked back with a side part hair kind of makes him look like a Ken doll.
Now, here's a list of just average looks...
Carly Rae Jepsen
Although she might have nailed having the catchiest song on the radio for summer 2012, she just didn't nail this look. Her dress doesn't look like it fits her perfectly and her hair and makeup look messy. However, she doesn't look bad, she just looks like she needed a little bit more time in the hair and makeup chair.
Adele
I love Adele and I completely understand that she might still be carrying some post-baby weight. But, I think this dress makes her look bigger than she actually is. The A-line flair in the dress is a little too dramatic and the small print of the dress just makes her look big. However, I loved her updo and her makeup. She would look so much better with a different dress.
Taylor Swift
Okay, I get the grecian goddess look she's going for with the hair and the dress, but somehow it's just not working. Actually, I like her hair, makeup and the bottom of the dress, it's just the T-straps at the top of the dress that aren't doing her many favors. The top of the dress looks like it's being held together with the straps and not being held up very well. I would love this look if the dress had a different top.
Now, here's a couple of looks that went wrong...
Katy Perry
I think the main thing I don't like about this dress is the color. The lime green color just doesn't work with her complexion and dark black hair. Plus, the dress just looks too tight and you're left wondering if she can really breathe. This dress would look so much better if it was at least in a different color.
And finally, JLo...
Jennifer Lopez
JLo is a beautiful women, but she looks like she's trying too hard to make a statement. The dress absolutely has no shape and it desperately tries to make a statement with the large leg slit. The dress reminds me of Angelina Jolie's look from last year's Oscars but at least Angelina's dress had some shape to it. Plus the hair is just too severe. The hair and dress distract from her beautiful makeup and bronzed complexion. She would look so much better with her hair flowing and loose and with a more fitted dress. I have seen JLo look amazing before and I know she has it in her, with this look I feel like she compromised looking beautiful for making a statement.
