I didn’t watch the Grammy’s last Sunday night, but you can bet your bottom dollar that I ferociously scoured the Interwebs for photos of red carpet fashion.
Overall, I was impressed! Sparkles, sequins and studs were de rigueur, though certain celebs wisely accessorized with charming fedora caps (and / or children). Bold, architectural designs and futuristic gowns ruled the night.
Take Ms. Lady Gaga, for example:
Gaga’s spiny glitterball gown is off the chain! And that neon-yellow hair is such a clever reworking of the traditional Hollywood blonde. It’s like Glinda the Good Witch fell into a pool of toxic sludge and clawed her way out. Love it.
Meanwhile, Paramore’s lead singer Hayley Williams traded her usual shaggy red rocker-do for a coiffed 1930s wave. Adorbs.
Blink 182′s Travis Barker brought along a miniature version of himself, comprised of 50% of his own DNA. Technology! It’s amazing. What will they come up with next?
Usher looked suave, shiny and unfettered, as one would expect. I saw a pic of him posing cozily with Mya — are they dating, or was it merely a publicity shot? The intrigue! The drama! The–oh wait, bored already.
Big-winner Beyoncé looked fiiiiiiierce in her studded leather corset frock. Olivia, if you’re reading this, remember when we watched that documentary called “Above & Beyoncé”? That was the best hour of my life.
I have no idea who Ne-Yo is (I’m going to hazard a guess and say, “a rapper?”) but he’s my new hero.
This last one’s just for you, Anna! Isn’t Mr. Elvis Costello looking very dapper in his brisk red cap?
Head over to the official Grammy site for extensive fashion slideshows and candid shots. Click-clack!

Yay! Love that he went sans tie, but with the red hat. His shoes are also very excellent. I wonder what he’ll wear on Thursday!

Mr. Costello had better pick out an equally snazzy outfit for his big A Prairie Home Companion “cinecast” debut! I’m hoping for another hat. Maybe hunter green? Like Robin Hood!

I think he ALWAYS wears a hat these day. It’s his thing.
