2009 Grammy Awards - Best Dressed
Best Dressed Award
Pretty pink strapless gowns seem to be the order of the day. First worn by Freida Pinto at the BAFTAs, now this gorgeous pink Basil Soda gown has been worn by Katy Perry.
The structure of the gown is exquisite, as I have come to appreciate from Lebanese designers.
The satin ruffle piece on the front of the gown doesn't bother me, the retro hair fits the look, the pink lips are simply divine, and the subtle Jacob & Co jewels don't over cook this look.
Most Unexpected Award
When I saw Jennifer Hudson arrive on the red carpet wearing a colour-block RM by Roland Mouret Trenet high neck dress I must admit I was very shocked.
If there was a line of 100 dresses, I would have picked this last for her, but she more than does it justice - and this is not any kind of sympathy vote.
This really is a statement dress, with 3 tones including a white high neck bodice, a grey contrast pleated peplum around the waist, and a dark navy pencil skirt.
Thankfully the hair is pulled back to show off the dress, and her blue suede shoes are Louboutin. I personally would have preferred a strappy sandal.
Best One-Shouldered Dress Award
Zooey Deschanel stepped out of the box, and tried something new with this cute lilac Luella Spring 2009 dress.
There is much going on with the chiffon layer, the floral appliqué on the shoulder, and the skirt with the draped detail, but this does not overwhelm Zooey.
She wears this dress very confidently, and it suits her kooky style.
The lilac tights I like, the black peep-toes I don't like.
Best Strapless & Ruffles Award
Sara Bareilles also wore a pink strapless dress from the Luisa Beccaria Spring 2009 collection. It's so angelic, and I love the red accents.
She completes her look with a Daniel Swarovski silver clutch.
Most Improved Award
After her Cavalli dress at the Pre-Grammy party, Miley Cyrus couldn't get any worst.
I was pleasantly surprised in her choice of this charming Hervé Léger by Max Azria Fall 2008 asymmetrical gown, and I loved her hairstyle too.
Miley seemed very calm on the red carpet. No over-the-top poses, no obnoxious comments. I was very impressed by her maturity.
What No Bling? Award
Miley's new BFF Taylor Swift, love for embellished dress was replaced by this Kaufman Franco black jersey gown, with wrap around patent leather strapping.
Continues To Be One To Watch Award
Kim Kardashian's white/silver Toni Maticevski Spring 2009 dress was very cute, sassy and not at all trashy choice.
I love the organza detailing, which gives the dress a lot of shape and definition.
She worked her look with a pair of silver Christian Louboutin Fortuna slingbacks.
Best Use of Colour Award
I love a burst of colour on the red carpet, and Letoya Luckett certain provide it, with her fuchsia pink mini dress, multi-coloured snake-skin clutch and baby blue pumps.
Best Asymmetrical Gown Award
Looking a lot less bronze than she did the day before, Sheryl Crow looked amazing wearing a water-mix blue Toni Maticevski gown.
I love the slightly ruched bodice.
Golden Girl Award
Carrie Underwood glowed on the red carpet in a gold beaded tulle slip gown from the Zuhair Murad Resort 2009 collection, which she wore with a matching golden Nancy Gonzalez clutch.
I knew she could not stay away from this type of look for long.
It Should Not Have Worked, But It Did Award
Janelle Monae's equestrian themed look was very charming.
I especially loved the white high collared pleated blouse.
Better With The Coat On Award
Anna Wintour was styling Adele for this event, so there were high hopes.
The LBD was nice enough, but I loved the look with the green coat.
Best Colour Block Award
LeAnn Rimes' Philosophy Spring 2009 dress is so cute, I have to own it.
I love the cerulean blue top half, the heavily embellished waist, and the chiffon khaki skirt. Such a young and fresh look for the singer.
Best Re-Run Award
Iman has already worn this Rachel Roy Spring 2009 strapless dress, which had a embellished bodice and a tulip skirt.
Just OK Award
Apart from the Princess Leia hair style Audrina Patridge looks nice enough wearing a teal Tadashi strapless column gown with pleated bodice.
