2012 Grammys Fashion: The Glam, The Blah, and The Gaga

The Grammys don't have the best reputation when it comes to style, but there were quite a few winners last night (I mean, besides Adele)! And as usual, some seemed to have forgotten that there are cameras at the Grammys.

And the Best Dressed awards go to...

I struggle with Julianne Hough's fashion sense sometimes, but she knocked it out the park with a simple and chic Kaufman Franco design with criss-cross detail. Katy Perry donned a pale blue Elie Saab gown to match her blue locks. Taylor Swift sparkled in a gilded Zuhair Murad design. Gwyneth Paltrow kept it classic in a black Stella McCartney dress with dramatic cut-outs. Kelly Osbourne dazzled in a gold one-shoulder Tony Ward number (on a totally different note, she makes me want purple hair!). Kelly Rowland's Alberta Ferretti gown was absolutely dreamy - so delicate and feminine!

Rihanna sported a scandalous black backless Armani dress with a deep V. Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott was sultry in a strapless purple ombre Monique Lhuillier, complete with a thigh-high slit. Alicia Keys had a geometric theme going on in her structured Alexandre Vauthier dress with a bold statement necklace. Carrie Underwood was a stunner in a bright white beaded Gomez-Gracia gown. Some may not agree, but I adored Adele's second dress way more than her floor-length red carpet number. She channeled 60s vintage in her black polka dotted design as she took the stage to perform "Rolling in the Deep."

And now, the blah...

Fergie managed to pull off a fashion oxymoron - she was covered from the neck down, but was still successful in showing off her underwear. Robyn was a bit of a train wreck - the skirt of her high-low ensemble looks too tight and too short in the front. Her shoes do bring me a little bit of joy because they remind me of the Spice Girls craze of 1998. I can't tell if LaurieAnn Gibson was going for dominatrix or patent leather superhero in that red and black disaster.

And for the Gaga portion of the evening (surprisingly, more than just Gaga are in this category)...

Gaga had us scratching our heads in this Versace number complete with golden sceptor and face netting. The next person, you probably haven't heard of (unless you're hip to Russian pop singers, that is) but today she's probably high on the Google scale - Sasha Gradiva. I actually think Sasha's blush pink gown would've been stunning on it's own, but she went the extra mile and added that Terminator accessory. Nicki Minaj didn't have any crazy sceptors or arm guns, but she did show up with a stranger accessory - a "priest." Which made total sense when she reenacted The Exorcist on stage.

What did you think of last night's Grammys fashion? Who were your favorites and flops?
