As Fashion Week progresses, Award Season goes full throttle! Last night, the queens, kings, princes and princesses of the music industry dazzled us on the red carpet for the 54th time! The 2012 Grammy awards took place at the illustrious & re-known Staples Center in Los Angeles California.
There was no Jay-Z & Kanye in attendance, but with amazing talents like Adele, Rihanna and Alicia Keys there were bound to still be lots of chatter and bold moments - and there were! Some were funny, jaw opening, and some powerful and tear-jerking with the recent passing and tribute belted by Jennifer Hudson to an irreplaceable soul, Whitney Houston!
If you were watching carefully or not, you couldn't help but to notice the bright colors and textures on the carpet - but, even with the abundance of brights it was nearly impossible to overlook the beautiful black gowns gracing the grammys!
If you want, you can click the pictures to enlarge them.
With some of the most anticipated arrivals, Rihanna, Adele, Alicia Keys & Gwenyth Paltrow all adorned black gowns and gold hardware! For a few other stars in black, check out the pictures of Ex egg fetus Gaga, Rebecca Black, Shawna Thompson, Cyndi Lauper, Adam Levine's Russian model girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna as well as John Legend's girlfriend.

For those persons who were not tuned in to the Grammy's you covered it pretty well! You highlighted the talents, winners, and of course Jeniffer Hudson who did a fantastic job with her rendition of "I will always love you" as a tribute to Whitney. She was fab!
ReplyDeleteThe added mention and comparisions of the black dresses and of course best and worst dressed just set it off. Rihanna was off the chain and that was my best choice. Classic black always does it.
The only thing I missed was at least one sentence on LL Cool. He looked fine and did such a super job throughout. Of course he opened with "we had a death in OUR family", then prayed. What a super guy! I have so much more appreciation for him as a professional.
Laila, you should be a journalist. Again, Kudos on a job well done. I thoroughly enjoyed your spread...and again... it keeps me coming back.
