Grammy Fashion
Normally, the red carpet for the annual Grammy Awards provides enough fashion disasters to keep the style police busy for months. This year wasn't so generous. The major mishap fell upon a young crooner with one foot in the delivery stirrups and one foot onstage. But, we give M.I.A. a free pass for performing on her due date.
The rest of the arrivals had us bored to tears and cursing Chris Brown for, among other things, depriving us of the always show-stopping Rihanna. Take a look at a few of the standouts from the 51st Annual Grammy Awards.
THE BEST
Taylor Swift: It's kind of hard to go wrong when you've got a long, lithe frame, swanlike neck and complexion so creamy it should have a calorie count. This simple Kaufman Franco jersey gown just reminds us how easy she has it.
Katy Perry: When you're about to show the world what a rhythmless Grammys performance looks like, you pretty much have to make an immaculate entrance. This delicious Basil Soda gown is so beautiful we expect it to do just as amazing on a store rack as it does on Perry's rack.
THE WORST
Paula Abdul: Basil Soda also designed this science project, which only proves designers can't be rock stars all the time. Like Abdul herself, this half-elegant, half-space age dress is a little out of it.
Coldplay: Since when do these guys do the boy band look? On their own, the matching military jackets would be fine, but together they have us waiting for the lip-synched, choreographed performance of "Viva La Vida."
