Grammys red carpet: Lots of bling, ladies in red and ... Trump?
LOS ANGELES — Before the gongs were given out, the music world’s hottest stars strutted their best stuff down the Grammys red carpet at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles on Sunday (Feb 12, Monday morning, Singapore time).
LOS ANGELES — Before the gongs were given out, the music world’s hottest stars strutted their best stuff down the Grammys red carpet at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles on Sunday (Feb 12, Monday morning, Singapore time).
Here are the top sartorial moments from the A-list fashion parade:
SAYING HELLO: Adele, would battle with Beyonce for most of the top awards of the night, turned to Givenchy for her Grammys look — a custom pleated live green floor-length gown with a chaste neckline, a criss-cross bodice and a fitted waist. Her hair was swept up, and her signature cat eye makeup was in place.
She won in the other two categories — Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance — which were handed out before the main telecast.
LADIES IN RED: Nothing makes a statement like fire-engine red.
Fellow country crooner Faith Hill wore a cleavage-baring red keyhole gown from Zuhair Murad. And Britain’s Charli XCX stunned in a sultry strapless Vivienne Westwood gown with a deep sweetheart neckline.
PANTSUITS GALORE: After actress Evan Rachel Wood’s much-adored tux at the Golden Globes, and her pledge to ditch the dresses for all of awards season, the ladies of the music world embraced jumpsuits and pantsuits on Grammys night.
Country music singer-songwriter Brandy Clark rocked an all-black pantsuit with flared trousers. And R&B singer Mya looked sultry in a red pantsuit with a pussy bow blouse that was anything but innocent, with a naughty cutout bodice.
MAKE MUSIC GREAT AGAIN? A pro-Trump statement at the Grammys? It seemed unlikely, and yet, there it was.
On her Instagram feed, Villa — known more for her red carpet statements than her singing — said: “My whole artistic platform is about LOVE!” The ensemble earned immediate scorn on Twitter and Instagram.
But Villa — who is not a Grammy nominee — is no stranger to red carpet controversy. Last year, she wore something that barely qualified as a dress — strips of metallic material that looked like dinosaur bones and left little to the imagination.
The year before? It was an orange plastic lattice dress, again revealing many of her assets.
FASHION FAUX PAS: Speaking of odd fashion choices, there were several other miscues, too.
