Grammy Awards 2014

Last night was the Grammy Awards across the pond and because I had an early night, I had to catch up on all the red carpet action this morning on E!. I was so impressed by the majority of the outfits I saw, it looked like everyone brought their A-game! Here are my 10 favourite looks from the night.

1. My favourite look of the night was Taylor Swift. Yes I might be slightly biased because I love her, but this Gucci Premiere dress is exquisite. Of course she loves her sparkle but this has sort of a chain/mesh overlay which gives it extra edge. I love the simple silhouette, it makes her look like a statue. She said herself that wearing this dress felt like wearing a suit of armour because it was so heavy! I also love that she just wore her hair up in a ponytail to show off the sparkly neckline. Just perfection.

2. Next up is Chrissy Teigen. The model wore this gold Johanna Johnson dress which is everything I love on a red carpet: shows off your best assets, sparkly, eye-catching. Obviously the model body helps but this dress just fits her figure perfectly. I like that it reveals just enough skin with the slit up the front. Spot on Chrissy!

3. Katy Perry is known just as much for her music as her quirky fashion sense. Many people don't like this Valentino dresses but I love it! This dress would only ever be appropriate for the Grammys so why not give it a go? It suits her personality and I love the bodice and shoulders of this dress. Without the music notes, the dress would be beautiful anyway but they give it a kooky edge which is right up Katy's street!

4. Miranda Lambert in this Pamella Roland gown is breathtaking. Her new figure is amazing so why not flaunt it? I'm all for the colour of this dress and the cut and simplicity of it too are just divine. I think the neckline shows just the right amount of cleavage for this sort of event. This is old Hollywood style at its best. And can I also mention those earrings? I don't have my ears pierced but they are phenomenal!

5. Anna Kendrick, here in Azzaro, is one of my favourite celebrities to see on the red carpet. She knows her style and figure so well and always dresses correctly for the event. The Grammys means you can take that extra risk with embellishments and skin showing and this is perfect for it. Another dress with a front slit (is this the new thigh-high side split a la J.Lo at the event last year?), she's showing that us pale girls can wear pastel colours! I love the bejewelled bodice as well.

6. Iggy Azalea's figure is to die for (have you seen her bum?!) and this dress highlights that! This Elie Saab number would be seen on a stick-thin model on the runway so it's nice to see a woman with curves in it and look amazing in doing so! It's very different from her usual style; this is subtle and demure as opposed to her usually very sexy and out-there look. I also love how she's kept it girly with pink lips and nails, too cute!

7. Kacey Musgraves is fast becoming one of my favourite red carpet starlets. She's a newcomer to the music scene and this was her first Grammys! This Armani Prive dress is so princess-like and I love all the tiers of tulle. It is perfect for her debut appearance and the bow at the top is so cute!

8. Skylar Grey is not a singer I'm massively familiar with apart from that Eminem and Dr Dre song, I need A Doctor (which is a tuuuune btw!) but apparently she's pretty big in America. Here she is wearing a laser-cut pink leather Michael Costello dress is just stunning. I love that it's high fashion yet so rock-and-roll! It takes someone very brave to wear skin-tight leather especially on the red carpet but her body looks so good in this dress! Bold but well-executed choice!

9. Giuliana Rancic is one of my favourite journalists going. As co-presenter of E! News, it's her jobs to report on all the red carpet looks but people forget that she is such a stylish lady too! This orange Alex Perry gown looks so vibrant against her tanned skin; it's not often I like orange but this colour is just so vivid! I love the floral print of it and the sheer detailing in between the boobs. Hinting at cleavage is way sexier!

10. Last but not least is Sarah Hyland who has had a stunning red carpet season so far this year! I love that she went for a shorter dress as she's done a lot of floor-length gowns at other events. This dress is so cute but I love that it's quite relaxed as she's literally just there to have a fun night without the stress of maybe having to accept an award. I also love the sequin detail at the bottom of the dress.

I also want to give a mention to Ariana Grande. I'm not a huge fan of hers to be honest (her voice goes right through me!) but this dress isn't too bad. The main issue I have is that she always wears the same style of dress: floral, strapless, super girly. However the thing I want to bring to your attention to are her legs. SHE HAS NUDE TIGHTS ON!!!! That's just a massive no-no. The only place this is acceptable is if you are on stage performing. Sorry Ariana, cute but expected.
