AWARDS SEASON: The Grammys

The parties are over, the red carpet is pulled up, and the awards given out. The Grammy Awards have wrapped and once again brought all of the stars out in grade 'A' fashion.

There were fashion explosions and a lot of skin being shown. The cut outs and the illusive skin dresses were in full bloom on last nights' red carpet.

From reality stars to the queen of modern day R & B music, the red carpet erupted with skintastic outfits that breathe life into all of us.

Many designers dawned their red carpet looks on the rich and famous, and most hit the ball right out of the park. Some, not so much, and may need to go back to the drawing board.

Most noted looks of the night ranged from the 'Queen Bey' herself, Beyoncé Knowles in a sheer white Michael Costello gown to singer Katy Perry whose gown hit a musical high-note.

Some of the style misses that had even social media going crazy was Pharrell Williams' enormous Vivienne Westwood park ranger hat. This hat got more attention, tweets, and memes that Arby's won tweet of the night for funniest comment on this outlandish accessory.

While the fun and laughter ensued, I must mention that Pharrell along with artist Daft Punk won album of the year. 

Pharrell, however was not the only fashion 'don't' of night. Some style mishaps that made front page ranged from actress Paula Patton to comedienne Katherine Griffin. These ladies were high stepping to a similar tune of 'you shouldn't have worn that'! 

Hindsight, though, is 20/20 and hopefully those glam squads, fashion moguls, and style experts take the loss, regroup, and come back with something explosive. 

Awards season has just begun so I'm sure they'll have another chance to get it right. I definitely will be looking out for those extraordinary fashion moments that will set the red carpet ablaze and have everyone still reeling long after it's over. 

Till next time,

AWARD SEASON: Golden Globes Edition

Awards season is now upon us and the stars are coming out in full force. Last nights' Golden Globes' red carpet was set ablaze by both the hit makers and risk takers of the fashion world. Even the pregnant stars hit and missed amongst the buzz of the red carpet and awards season.

To begin with, the usual hit makers ranged from the always ravishing Angela Bassett to the lovely Latin mami Sofia Vergara whom of which lit up the red carpet as only they can. But the breakout hit maker of this awards season is the beautiful 'Twelve Years' A Slave' star Lupita N'Yongo. This woman set the red carpet on fire and was snatched to perfection. She looked absolutely amazing in red, so much so the twitter, Instagram, and Facebook worlds went absolutely crazy as soon as she stepped foot on the red carpet. I must say 'kudos' to her glam squad because they definitely got it right. 

There were many, many others that were spot on. From the ever stunning Mila Kunis to the sleek and chic Cate Blanchett. These ladies made their mark on the red carpet with styles and looks that only they could pull off. 

Unfortunately, though, the risk takers didn't fair quite as well. The ladies that should have left well enough alone ranged from 'Gravity' actress Sandra Bullock to comedienne Lena Dunham. It seems they fell victim to the color and color blocking trend that went a little to the left on the red carpet.

Another trend on the red carpet this season is minimal or natural looking makeup. Even the stars that didn't quite get the outfits right, rocked amazing fresh faced makeup looks that were sheer awesomeness. 

Simple updos, side ponies, and swoops seemed to be the theme of the night as well. Yes, ladies less is more. The chic or slick hairstyles brought out the elegance of the dress and topped off an eveningwear/red carpet look.

Now that we have jumpstarted this awards season, I am very excited to see what's in store for the upcoming red carpet events. I know designers and glam squads are scrambling to get the biggest stars in their hottest looks. I know I'll be watching, Will you?
