Best and Worst Dressed at the Grammys 2015

Hey guys, today I thought I would share with you my best and worst dressed of the Grammys. There were a lot of amazing looks on the night and just like the last few awards shows, I found it hard to find a lot of bad ones. Now onto the looks.

BEST DRESSED

Gwen Stefani

I picked Gwen Stefani as my best dressed because as soon as I saw her I said "Wow". She looks amazing in this black Versace jumpsuit. I actually even think that this photograph doesn't do it justice and it looked way better in the video footage! It's really simple but absolutely stunning, and her hair and makeup were gorgeous too.

Next is Jessie J in this sheer Ralph and Russo gown. I think this look is amazing. The hair and the makeup really add to it and I thought she pulled it off perfectly. It's kind of Morticia Adams sheek but I really like it.

Anna Kendrick

I figure you all knew that Anna Kendrick would be in my best dressed list in this Band of Outsiders jacket and trouser combo. I don't know why I'm loving the suits and jumpsuits so much lately. This is just so simple and elegant, and she looks amazing. 

Iggy Azalea

I just love Iggy Azalea's royal blue Armani Privé dress. I love the colour and it fits her body shape so perfectly. I wouldn't normally be crazy about the sort of milkmaid braid that she is sporting with it but I think she pulls it off. The hair kind of takes this look to the next level, whereas otherwise it would just have been a stunning dress.

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift just keeps on getting it right on all the red carpets I've seen her on in the last year. This turquoise Elie Saab frock is no exception. It's an amazing dress and I really love it. Also I like that she added the pop of purple in with the shoes. This look is gorgeous!


Katy Perry

I love this look, and I sort of hate it a little bit, but only for the sheer fact that it is almost completely see-through,(Did you see what I did there? :P ) There is a lot on show and it doesn't leave much to the imagination but I think if it had a thicker lining underneath it would be one of my best looks of the night. She still looks amazing though, sheer or not sheer.

Now onto my worst dressed of the night, even though their weren't that many.

WORST DRESSED

Lady Gaga

When I saw this photograph of Lady Gaga, I almost burst out laughing. I don't know what kind of pose she was trying to do here, but that paired with the dress gave a sort of "whoa" first impression (and not in a good way). There is just something about the look that is kind of tacky, with the crazy slits and the turquoise necklace matched with the silver, I just don't like it at all. 

Rita Ora

I am racking my brain trying to figure out how Rita Ora could have made this Prada gown work and I can't find an answer. On paper she did everything right, with the short hair and the makeup she chose. In some pictures of the dress I think she looks quite good but in others she looks like she is covered in cheap sequins. I don't know. The dress is just a lot to deal with, being floor length with the long sleeves and high neck. 

Kim Kardashian

Last on my list is Kim Kardashian. I also really have a sort of love/hate feeling towards this look. It's kind of like she is dressed up as a glitzy Rocky or someone else about to go into a boxing ring but it also is kind of cool and different to anything I've seen before (But then again, that might just be my bias for loving Rocky :P ).

I hope you all enjoyed this post! The Oscars are only around the corner now and I am getting excited. Leave a comment below of who were your best and worst looks and I'l talk to you soon.

The Grammys 2014: My Best and Worst Dressed

Hey guys, today's post is another award season best and worst dressed and this time I'm talking about The Grammys. So as always, in no particular order, here are my best dressed:

Best Dressed
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift looked absolutely incredible in this shiny Gucci chainmail gown. It was so different to anything I've seen on the red carpet lately and I thought she looked stunning in it. I also really loved the hair and makeup.


 Colbie Caillat
 I loved this gorgeous deep red Ezra Santos gown on Colbie Caillat. The detail at the top of it was so pretty but I have to admit that I really didn't like this hair with it.


Anna Faris
If you have already read any of my other award season posts, (which I will link at the bottom) you will know that I love a simple dress over sparkles and frills so I had to include Anna Faris on my best dressed list. It was a gorgeous fitted dress and she looked great but it wasn't a very special dress for me.


Ciara 
 
I thought Ciara showed off her baby bump in style in this gorgeous sparkly dress. (I didn't say I didn't like sparkles, I just prefer simple elegant gowns :P ) I think she looks absolutely amazing but I think if I saw this dress on the clothes rack and not on Ciara, then I'm not sure if I would like it that much. Ciara makes it.


Bonnie McKee   
This dress didn't photograph that well but when I saw her walk past on E!'s Live at the red carpet I thought it was absolutely stunning. I really love this dress but the hair kind of ruined the look a little for me. I also really love the shiny clutch bag.


I'm not 100% percent sure about..



Katy Perry
I'm leaning more for liking this dress than not because I really love the bottom of it with the music notes on it and thought that it was perfect for The Grammys and for Katy Perry to wear because she loves fun, quirky outfits. However, I didn't like the top of dress and I didn't like the hair so I'm not 100% sure about this but I definitely like it more than I dislike it.


Zendaya
Again I'm not sure about this look but I think that if the floor length skit was all black and if she had worn some more edgier shoe, that she would have looked so cool and edgy, especially with the hair and makeup which I really loved. If those changes were made then she probably would have been one of my best dressed, but with the skirt and shoes as is, I'm not really that sure.


Worst Dressed 

Pharrell Williams
I usually don't include men in my best and worst dressed but this time I had to mention one. I really don't know what to say about Pharrell William's hat. When I first saw it, I wasn't sure if it was a joke or he was going to take it off later in the night to reveal a big surprise like a new hair cut or a budgie flying out from underneath it. I really like Pharrell, and I do like that he took a risk and didn't go with the norm, but I just didn't like this hat.

Beyonce
As much as I love Beyonce, I have two things that I don't like about this look; her new shorter hair and the fact that this dress almost shows her crotch. If the design went the whole way down and covered her crotch then the dress would be okay but I don't love it.
