Grammys: The best, the worst, and the weirdest!

The best
I'm not entirely sure which outfit I love the most, but both Keri Hilson and Taylor Swift looked stunning at the 2010 Grammys (and I usually don't really care for either).

Taylor Swift looked very old fashion glam with a touch of 21st century, and the hair really compliments the dress well. Despite her young age she actually looks almost regal (you know, like when Nicole Kidman pre the botox madness). I also love it fits her "good girl"-image without being boring, proving that you don't have to show a huge cleavage to be a stunner.

Up until I saw this photo of Keri Hilson, I'd honest completely forgot of her existence.. if she's a big star in the USA I don't know, but she is not very well known in Europe, I only remember her from that Timbaland MV. But this dress is amazing on her, and I adore the jewelery she added. One little problem is the hair: I don't hate it, but it pales in comparison with the dress.

The worst
 
Before I say anything else I'll like to admit that putting Beyonce´s dress in comparison to Britney Spears´ - eh - outfit, is unfair, because next to Britney she looks great!

The reason I really dislike Beyonce´s dress is mainly because of the fabric of the dress. It's just all wrong, and reminds me of a rug in my grandparents apartment (wait, actually they have better style than that).  Secondly I don't like the colour next to her skintone. The mermaid cut is obviously very flattering on Beyonce, but the zipper in the middle works against the mermaid cut. All in all I really dislike her dress, but her hair and make up looks great.

"No no no!", either it's time for Spears to fire her stylist, or it's time for her to hire one! I don't mean to be rude, but this outfit is just painful to look at. Most of all it reminds me of some parody of a  cheep-budget s&m madam/prostitute´s outfit, where they couldn't even afford fake leather for the corsage. Really, is this a case of "bad pr is better than no pr" or what? The outfit is incredibly unflattering for her body. Everything is just wrong here, even the shoes look bad with this.

The weirdests

Let's be captain obvious and start with Lady Gaga
.Worst of all is that she's very clearly trying waaaay too hard, to a point where she has ended up looking like a futuristic outfit from the 60's. If one is to do futurist it's crucial to do it with innovation, because otherwise you ended up looking like a bad joke like Gaga here. Had the shoes looked even slightly normal or been paired with a slightly normal outfit, they would actually have been fantastic, I love the material, but with the rest of the outfit it doesn't work. Had she removed all the rings from the dress it would actually have been fairly nice as well, and I adore the colour of the dress. But she just had to over do it. And her hair? I refuse to even comment on it's colours.

As for Rihanna: The cut of the dress is actually very beautiful, majestic and the colour is just right. The dress from the waist down is perfect, it flatters Rihanna´s body. But the material of the upper part is just all wrong! The shoulders material is all too thick and looks like it's made of plaster. The feathers should not be where they are, no matter how mature I try to be, looking at this picture of her I cannot help but to associate it with a hairy chest or a newly hatched duckling. She still looks much better than Gaga, but in this case, that's not particularly challenging, is it now?

  3. Ahhh Lady Gaga I can handle because you expect her to be extravagantly, fashionably crazy... Britney Spears on the other hand, just looks generally crazy... Oh my!
