52nd Grammy Awards: Black, White, Shimmery.

The 52nd Grammy Award saw some new generation artistes rocking up in less than classic styles that were ubiquitous in red carpet events of the past. We saw how Ri Ri came during the pre-Grammy gala in Viktor and Rolf half-bitten cotton candy dress, while Lady Gaga did live up to her quirky status in the wardrobe department by being spotted in an orb-like Armani gown. Then you have the Perry who kissed a girl and liked it, who never fails to be at the fore front of anything fashion. As much as I hate her sequined George Chakras frock with zigzag hem, I must admit that I have to give her credits for her courage to wear that and date Russel Brand.

Besides black, nude and white were the popular colours for the night. There was Katy Perry in a nude Zac Posen number, and Heidi Klum in a nude Emilio Pucci minidress. She may have throw away all her Louboutins, but Jennifer Lopez did came in a white and silver chain-mail Versace gown that accentuated her figure well.
Rihanna did a change and redeemed herself later in the evening with a high neck white Elie Saab gown with a mini train.

With $200,000 worth of custom made Lorraine Schwartz and Ofira earrings, who would have thought anyone will look so thrashy, but sorry Beyonce (as much as I adore her), I really hated the overall styling from the light-colored hair to the mermaid-like Stephane Rolland gown. Taylor Swift wasn't too far off in my list of worst-dressed with her choice on that Kaufman Franco dress that made her look twice her age. Judging from the trend on the biggest winner and best album title-holder for the year, that was probably the trade-off.

Speaking of worst-dress, no one, not even Miss Gaga can top in the Fashion Hall of Shame. With see-through, black lace Dolce & Gabbana dress worn over a bodysuit and paired with distasteful fishnet stockings, oops, Britney Spears did it again!

Stop calling, Stop calling, I don't wanna talk anymore.

Do not get confuse with the previous one, it's a totally different song with different leads. At least we know Beyonce has 3G.

If you want me you can watch me on your video phone.

It's ketchup versus musturd sauce at the final dance off.

One word:

Gwen Stefani in what resembles Style Damsel's White Tuxedo Jacket.

Beyonce performing the song, " If I were a boy".

Awesome.


Still very much in shock that Beyonce was here, and did my all-time favourite song, "Smash into you". You'll notice that she brought along her world tour band and powerful lungs with her.

Thanks jethron5000 for the footage.

Kudos to the organisors for the Singapore GP, F1 Rocks, and Fuel Party.

This Diva is hot

Sasha Fierce clothing line by Beyonce

After Deréon, now comes Sasha Fierce, a new line of clothing by Beyoncé and her mother, Tina Knowles, inspired by Beyoncé's stage presence (and Beyoncé's Alter Ego) . Tina describes the collection as a reinterpretation of Beyoncé's Thierry Mugler costumes. The collection is “edgier and trendier and reflects Sasha Fierce’s daring and outgoing attitude.”

However, conceptually the collection differs greatly from Sasha Fierce's stage costumes in that the clothes are "subdued" to draw attention to the accessories.
Tina describes the accessories as "really over-the-top." They include the usual shades, chains, and shoes, all as oversize, embellished, and metallic as possible.

Loreal denies digital lightening of Beyonce Knowles

So now all heads turn to Beyonce Knowles, as allegations of the R&B spokesperson of L'oreal was said to be digitally bleached in an advertising campaign by the cosmetic giant.


We say...

You be the judge.

Grammys fashion - red carpet : Blue is the new Black

The exact color that got me into trouble while working for this famous local designer,
cobalt blue is the "in" thing this season.

At the recent Grammy Awards RC, stars were spotted strutting down the red carpet in all shades of blue.

Zac Posen and Giorgio Armani did well in their score cards.

Sultry singer and 4 award nominee, Rihanna, attended the event in a cobalt blue tulle and organza-like dress from Zac Posen. The dress complements her new short crop so well, we almost forgot about the Chopard bracelet!

No one, no one, can pull off a Giorgio Armani Privé sapphire duchess satin gown as well as Miss Alicia Keys. High bun and Chinese collar were indeed conservative, yet the mini trail added a touch of elegance to this rnb singer's midnight blue outfit.

Not exactly blue, but we simply love this dress!

Very flowy and glamourous. English singer and songwriter, Natasha bedingfield wore this purple Reem Acra gown with matching belt around the empire line; giving some edge to the heavily draped gown. We know where you can find pretty dresses like this!

Not exactly my favourite, but this Elie Saab number is much adorned by other fashion critics.
Clad in this pale blue tulle and silver beaded haute couture gown, Beyonce "wow" the crowd down the red carpet. At least she's in the right hue!

Like a modern goddess, Nelly Furtado was clad in a crystal bright blue Arthur Mendonca draped gown. The sweetheart neckline and drapes accentuates the rapper's womanly curves.

This best new artist nominee, Taylor Swift, matched her borrowed Jimmy Choo's with a lilac-blue medieval-inspired gown by Sandi Spika. The silk bustier with beaded A-line skirt enhances her figure.



As for the men?


Stick to black.
