Best Dressed: Grammy Awards 2012

 photos via celebrity-center

If you regularly follow up with my blog, you know that I'm typically biased when it comes to Lady Gaga—well, she's not on the list this time. I was not so fond of Versace's designs (cough: I'm looking at you, Nicki Minaj!).

What I was fond of was all the sparkly numbers. Let's start with the night's biggest winner (of ALL 6 nominations!): Adele kept it classic in a glimmering black Armani gown with three-quarter sleeves, Louboutin heels, and Harry Winston diamonds. Her beauty look: blonde bombshell, long lashes, + bold crimson lips.

Katy Perry was blue from head-to-toe in a sparkly and glimmering powder blue Elie Saab gown. I wasn't so sure about the hair, but I suppose the look wouldn't be her own without it.

Taylor Swift donned a golden + gorgeous floor length Zuhair Murad gown, with a mandarin collar and a sweeping train. Her smokey and subtle stained lip completed the glamorous + dramatic look.

Kelly Rowland looked stunning in a blush Alberta Ferretti dress embellished with silver flower beading and soft draping. Lorraine Schwartz chandelier earrings also played up the embellishments on the dress.

Last but not least, Alicia Keys in her sleek and minimal Alexandre Vauthier black dress with rounded shoulder pads and metal plate. This is the first time I've come across this new French designer. j'adore. Also, her black pointy ankle strap heels look terribly painful, but it definitely pulled the bold dress together.

Emmys 2011 favorite looks

The live Red Carpet coverage on E! started off with a few ladies in red, which later sparked to a red dress trend. Although Lea Michelle poses more than a Kardashian, her red Marchesa gown won the top of my best-dressed list (and potentially with, you know, other best-dressed lists that actually matter--but if you're reading this than you know mine matters). From the strong shoulders to the low-back drop, I predict that her Marchesa will dominate Joan Rivers' Fashion Police. The first look I tweeted about was Nina Dobrev's stunning red DKNY sweetheart neckline gown, which fit her like a glove. With subtle confidence--in comparison to Lea Michelle--Dobrev's custom gown made me swoon. My other favorite looks include Sarah Hyland in Christian Siriano and Gwyneth Paltrow in a middrift baring Pucci dress-- I mean, she has an Oscar, an Emmy, and nominated for another Emmy?  Sofia Vergara brings the va-va-voom factor, as usual,  in Vera Wang (although I wasn't loving the over-sized earrings). Emily Blunt in a chic Elie Saab completes my favorite looks from the Emmys.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt arrived at the 17th Sarajevo Film Festival in Bosnia, looking their usual spiffy selves.  Wearing a chic Elie Saab spring 2011 slit gown, Jolie accepted the Honorary Heart of Sarjevo award for bringing attention to the refugees in the country.  The dress is perfect for her frame, because it adds volume and showcases a modest look. Lastly, the Jimmy Choo nude shoes were the final touches to her ultra chic look.
