Grammy Fashion Throw downs

The Grammy Red-Carpet was definitely swoon-worthy with many celebs donning a much sober and classy look. While my scrutinizing gaze scanned each celeb, many of our fashion á la modes had definitely forgotten to RSVP. Among the ones who were MIA were Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Lady Gaga- all three who are known for their swanky, bold and over-the-top repertoire. Also missing were Adele, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Kanye West and Justin Timberlake to name a few.

The tone of the carpet ranged from metallic to jewel-toned to autumn blues. Metallic being the clear favourite,

Here’s a list of the best dressed according to me, I loved watching on the red carpet:

Grammy’s Best Dressed (Female) 

Katy Perry

Talk about musical inclination! Katy Perry has definitely raised up a bar (You see what I did there? :-D) in her sartorial. A creative outlook on this Valentino gown would be a majestic ivory peacock. She oodles out elegance and confidence and in this gown. Her Elizabeth Taylor inspired hairdo is actually easy attainable!

Grammy’s Best Dressed (Male)

Mackelmore and Ryan Lewis

Not breaking from the sobriety of the occasion is Ryan Lewis in jazzy Houndstooth suit by Mr.Turk and Macklemore in a well-tailored teal suit and a cute bow-tie.

STYLE TIP: If you are one of em roughed up fellas, you don’t enjoy dressing up all fancy, a houndstooth jacket is equally fashionable!

Grammy’s Best Dressed (Couple)

Chrissy Teigan and John Legend

As featured before, Chrissy is in a metallic floor length gown by Johanna Johnson. She looks absolutely stunning in it. The silver metallic compliments her hourglass figure and the side swept ombre hair and makeup is minimalist which makes her look even better! Not far too behind, John Legend looks crisp and dapper in a suit by Gucci. Now that’s a fashion forward couple! How adorable J

Go-Over of the Grammy's 2014

The Grammy’s Review:

Honestly, the first expression after watching the Grammy’s this year was that it was way better than last year! Last year was over-dramatic, boring, unrealistic and more boring... But the Grammys did attempt to keep it a lot more music-related this year. Yeah, complete irony!

Anyhoo, the Grammy Awards of 2014 was hosted by LL Cool J with much nonchalance owing to his previous Grammy hosting experiences. The opening act was by power-star couple Beyonce and Jay-Z. And I was only stunned and left thinking- “How is she looking so twig-like? Didn’t she just have a baby?” And this thought was seconded by Jamie Foxx as the award ceremony proceeded. I won’t go into much detail knowing the fact that you guys must have already watched it. I would just want to give an insight of what I took back after watching the show.

Coming to the performances, it was a bag of new energy mixed with old rawness! And my favorite performance was ‘Get Lucky’ by French Robots-Daft Punks, Will Pharell, Guitarist Nile Rodgers and a special mash up with Grammy commoner Stevie Wonder which also won the Best Record of the year! The audience thoroughly enjoyed the performance with that awesome footage of Steven Tyler crackin in on some serious dance moves! Haha totally rad! There were other performances by Pink ft Nate Ruess which involved some nail biting acrobatics by Pink, Kendrick Lamar ft. Imagine Dragons was a heart thumping remix of their existing song – Radioactive which I think was better than the original. Lorde, Paul McCartney with Ringo, Keith Urban, Rolling Stones, Robin Thicke, Metallica with classical pianist Lang Lang were among the few others who performed like any other concert or event but didn’t quite capture my attention. Adding to the boiling pot was that eerie performance by Katy Perry that completely creeped me out along with that haphazard Taylor Swift’s head bang. It just didn’t add up! But, to bring a sombre note to the event came John Legend with his catapulting voice and piano performance of his song ‘All Of Me.’ There were some key notes in the show with Queen Latifah’s onstage marriage ceremony that was set on the love song by duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis who won four out of their seven Grammy nominations to Paul McCartney and Ringo coming live, Daft Punks rare live performance and so on..
To conclude it, it was quite a decent year for the Grammy not the best though. The standard expected is much higher from a prestigious organization like them. Fingers crossed till next year...
