The Grammy's Red Carpet Recap!

Grammy time!  Did you guys watch the Grammy's last night?  What was your favorite moment?  As expected, there were many talk-worthy moments at the Grammy's last night, I mean, did you see P!nk spinning in the air while singing a power ballad?

But just like there's always heavy anticipation for what might happen during the performances, there's just as much anticipation about what everyone will (or won't) wear on the red carpet.  And while there were some lovely moments we saw (Beyonce looked gorgeous in that Michael Costello gown and so fit as always) quite honestly, I was hoping for a little more splash and statement.

Don't get me wrong, I love the look of a simple, and effective streamlined gown a la Taylor Swift's Gucci gown, and Ciara's Emilio Pucci dress, but the fashion on the red carpet and during the show was rather safe this year (Madonna in a suit?).  What do you think?  I've gathered some of the red carpet looks we love, and some we're just not sure about.

Take a look and tell me your favorite!

American Music Awards Fashion Recap

The American Music Awards.  Did you watch them?  If you got swept away by the glitz, or some of the performances, let not your heart fret if you missed the red carpet looks, coz we have them right here!

While miss Taylor Swift, dripping in a gold Julien Macdonald mini dress, was busy breaking records for being the first artist ever to win Artist of the Year 3 times in a row, Rihanna was busy arriving in a gorgeous Jean Paul Gaultier 2 piece while accepting the first ever AMA Icon Award.

And of course, the show wouldn't be complete without Gaga arriving in something expectedly unexpected, this time a mechanical white horse driven by her dancers, and Miley Cyrus stirring up some confusion and press worthy controversy, with an adorable space traveling kitten singing along with her.

Yes folks, it was just another typical night in LA!  Enjoy the red carpet pics.  Who was your favorite?

MTV VMA Awards 2013 Red Carpet Review!


Well the MTV VMA Awards 2013 happened last night in Brooklyn, New York... oh yes... they happened!  Did you tune in?

Whether or not you watched, I'm sure by now you've been bombarded with photos and GIFs all over social media about the antics and most talked about moments of the evening... twerking on Beetlejuice anyone?


And while some performances left viewers in awe (Justin Timberlake's 17 minute performance extravaganza) some left us inspired (Macklemore & Ryan Lewis) and some just left us (fill in the blank) there was certainly no shortage of similar moments on the red carpet.  I must say, I was both wowed, and a little underwhelmed with some of the looks that I saw, a little surprised that some of the stars went more subdued this year.  I mean, who wasn't expecting more shock on the red carpet from ladies like Miley and Gaga?  But, of course, the provided those moments during their performance, which was perhaps the point.  

 
 


 

All in all, who were your favorites?  Who do you think was best dressed and worst?

Coachella Celebrity Fashion Wrap Up


Ah Coachella.... the once-a-year music driven gathering where celebrities, regular folks, and hippie fashion intertwine, in a modern day Woodstock extravaganza.  

And while this year, we saw even more of the corporate pop-ups and designer endorsed parties and sponsorships, celebrities still came out in full force, dressed head-to-toe like... well.... everyone else!

Fringe, colors, relaxed fit, boho, flowers and flats are all the rage for the event in Indio, Cali, and we've collected some pics of some of the highlight looks you would have seen at the 3 day event!  Enjoy!
