Grammy Awards Fashion Coverage: Mary J Blige

Mary J, you can do no wrong. I adore this color, the cut is fabulous, and everything is just tight enough but still pools at the bottom. The earrings I don't think are quite right but the bracelet and bag really work. I also actually really like the hair too - it makes this look a little more rocker and more appropriate for the Grammy's, it throws everything off just enough and adds the cool factor.

Mary's dress reminds me a little bit of this stunning look Jessica Biel wore last year. I think Mary's is winning out though, the unexpected finishes with the hair and big black bag throw it over the edge for me.

Grammy Awards Fashion Coverage: Katy Perry

I'm not going to talk about how this looks like some old synchronized swimmer's olympic bathing cap that was attacked by a bedazzler. No, that would not be nice. I will just let this dress speak for itself.

All jokes aside, Katy, you need to fire your hair dresser ASAP.

Grammy Awards Fashion Coverage: Fergie

Fergie Ferg, I know a lot of people are liking this (Pucci by the way), but I'm a little on the wall. I love the suede - perfect for the Grammy's, and her hair actually looks good here and not too tan either (thank you for restraining!). But something about it looks like the was a limited amount of fabric left to work with, like this was the very last piece of gold lame in the whole Pucci factory (and we know that is not true, did you see Heidi Klum's dress?). But for Fergie Fergs, I know this is toned down, and she has managed to look pretty and edgy at the same time. About 1 million perfect better than that lavender bridesmaid dress from the SAG awards, uhg!

This is Heidi's Pucci tonight. This isn't the Golden Globes Klum - we know you just had a baby and your boobs are huge, but seriously?

Grammy Awards Fashion Coverage: Taylor Swift

Taylor - I love you! You always look so fabulous at every awards show. The back of this dress was spectacular too - completely bare save for a criss-cross strap at the very top. The hair is great, earrings are perfect, and the pose is divine.

Update: I'm watching Taylor's performance right now and a little confusing why she put on some woman from Ohio's tunic and leggings. What happened?

Grammy Awards Fashion Coverage: Adam Lamert

I was never an American Idol watcher, so I was taken a little off guard when this popped up all over the place:

We get it --- you are unique! But must you wear 3-inch heals and a jacket that is way too small? Dear readers, remember fashion rule number one: Wear clothes that fit! Adam, you sleeves are too short and something about the proportion of the hem of your jacket is just making me crazy. Talk amongst yourselves on this tie, I just can't handle it.

Grammy Awards Fashion Coverage

OK --- My plan was to do this live, but that just didn't work out. Where was a personal assistant when I needed one?!

I'm tuning into the Grammy's now and just checked out some red carpet coverage on New York Magazine's site. It is absolutely necessary to give up some free fashion advice - there are some amazing looks, and there are of course some amazingly awful looks (J. Lo anoyone?).

To start we have to look at Lady Gaga:

Apparently this is Armani - must be a one-off though. It certainly captures Gaga's look, but I wish she had done better with the hair and makeup. She needs way more glitter on the face, and hair that is not the color of French Vanilla ice cream.

Also, these shoes make her feet look like Miss Piggy's. Actually, the whole look is a little Miss Piggy when you squint your eyes.
