3rd place...
T-Swift: Love that she experimented with a new shape {the high collar and cut-outs} while still staying true to her signature sparkly style.
2nd...
Adele: I think she can add the silver medal for Best Dressed to all six Grammys she won! The black and this cut are super slimming on her, but she kept it from being boring with the sparkle, retro-Hollywood hairdo, and bold red lip {which you know I'm a sucker for!}.
And in 1st...
Carrie Underwood: Carrying on the sparkle trend, Carrie decided to go with bright white! I love that this dress makes such a statement, and {you can't see it, but trust me, it's there} the cut-out of the back keeps it from being too overwhelming. The black clutch provided contrast and kept the look grounded, along with the classic neutral makeup and soft up-do.
As for worst dressed, I've got two.
Runner-up...
Fergie: Despite the on-trend lace and tangerine color, being able to see one's underwear is an automatic no-no. And not just on the red-carpet, but any formal event {let's keep that in mind, shall we?}.
And the worst of the worst...
Nicki Minaj: Little Red Riding Hood + Roman Catholic Cardinal = WTF? Nicki needs to chill. 'Nuff said. Oh, and also, her accessory of choice was a guy dressed as the Pope. Yeah...
