Last night at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles plenty of stars walked away with awards for best songs and albums but only a handful had the honor of wowing on the red carpet. The Beauty Bar kept a close eye on the women who sauntered into the Staples Center looking out for stylish hair, creative makeup and head-turning fashion. Here are just a few of last night’s winners:
Katy Perry – Katy is catching a lot of flack this morning for her mint green Gucci dress that, um, bared a bit more than most were expecting but her 1960’s style ensemble inspired by Priscilla Presley surely kept the male audience glued to their TV sets for as many glimpses as possible. Instead of bashing Perry the Grammy’s should be thanking her since she undoubtedly kept more people watching. Just like the Super Bowl halftime show, you don’t really think men tuned in to hear Beyonce, do you?
Carrie Underwood – Not only can Underwood wow with her voice but her taste in fashion is just as powerful. Last night the former American Idol winner was chic and savvy in a beautiful black strapless gown from Roberto Cavalli and caught the attention of everyone with a stunning 381-carat diamond necklace (yes, that’s 381-carat). Underwood also took home the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance.
Rihanna – While many are still wondering if Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together (they were happy and cozy last night) the Barbadian Bombshell made everyone forget about Brown when she stepped out in a custom-made red Alaia gown the featured a high neckline but still gave plenty of room for the singer to tastefully display her sexy side. Rihanna took home the Grammy for Best Short Form Music Video for “We Found Love” and the rumor mill is spinning to determine if this a message about her and Brown.
