WHAT THEY WORE - GRAMMY’S EDITION

Monday, February 11, 2008

rihagrammy.jpg

Rihanna wore Zac Posen creations when she arrived and performed last night. Naturally she would look great in one of her favorite designers and her haircut is growing on me finally…

SHADES OF BLUE

grammyfas1.jpg

Blue seemed to be a bold color making ways on the red carpet. Not only did Rihanna rock the color, but Beyonce, Corrine Bailey Rae, and Alicia Keys also stepped out in different shades of blue…

MOST OUTFIT CHANGES

aliciagrammy.jpg

And speaking of Alicia, she had to have the most outfit changes for the night after winning two Grammys and performing. the singer arrived in Armani and had two Herve Leger gowns for the show…

BACK TO BLACK

Black was also a popular color at the Grammys, worn by Keyshia Cole, Fantasia, and Solange. Grab Solange’s Burburry clutch here

THE FELLAS AT THE GRAMMYS…

grammyfas2.jpg

Can’t forget about the guys who GQ’d it up at the Grammys as well. Armani seemed to be the it designer for the night, worn by John Legend and Ludacris

SHOULDA’ STAYED HOME

grammyfas3.jpg

Chris Brown was wrong for his attire, even though it does flow with Valentine’s Day (which is this Thursday). Nas & Kelis just caused controversy with their outfits. Whatever works, I guess.

OVERALL

Overall I think fashion was a bit of a yawner at the event this year. No one really wowed me with their gown but, many people did step out and try different looks. Who was best and worst dressed in your opinion?

OK I should amend what I said above. I loved the midnight blue Armani that Alicia wore but hated the Herve Leger dresses, especially the turquoise that was squishing her breasts!

Fantasia and Solange are best dressed. RIhanna’s performance dress would have been hot with different shoes and without that leather cuff. This year I don’t know what fashion critics will say…nobody really gave them anything to work with. Fantasia is probably not on their radar and Solange..of course nobody knows she exists…so why will they talk about? Everybody else looked horrid…

No matter what people say I will always love Fantasia. I am not a fan of that hair or dress but it dosn’t look as bad as people make it seem. I actually watched the show last night (they put all the black people on first so I watched lol) and as mush as I love Aretha Frankiln she looked like Big Bird during her performances.

I don’t see nothing wrong with Chris Brown’s outfit…you should have had Fantasia on the should stayed home list…I love her but I ain’t feeling that hair. Shaved blonde and black hair. What is she Cruela Deville?

Rihanna’s dress is weird but it works for her…. somehow..

Dnt really like Beyonce’s dress but she looks nice, actually like the hair on her

Alicia’s outfits were nice but her hair jus messed it up for me, the 2nd pic is nice tho..

The guys look good (except for Seal) but Luda killed it hands down..

Solange just cant get it right!

I have no words for Keyshia & Tasia………………………..

Those who are in the ‘Shoulda stayed home’ list really should have! Lol

Monday, February 11, 2008 /

fantasia and that hair needed to stay at home but i did see her with her Dro boo!!! lol they are so cute together. alicia what was with all those changes lol. i did not like any of rihanna’s dresses. beyonce could have done better with her hair. nas and kelis need to give it a rest. im tired of seeing neyo dressing the same all the time looking like a mississippi cat daddy. i love keyshia’s hair black. chris brown looked like he was going to the prom. solange is always lookin a hot mess. and corine bailey rae’s hairstyle is annoying.

best dressed men: Jay, Luda, Neyo hands down…Nas handsome t*shirt was not needed….Best dressed women Beyonce Red Carpet and performance outfit…Rhianna on Red Carpet…Tasia, Keyshia, Solange and Estella all looked nice…Jill Scott is the new Queen Latifah she reps for Big Girls and looks very stunning…Kelis (WHY?) Chris Brown is a kid and always looks a mess either its just ugly or too small…Usher looked good as usual…John Legend was looking really Classic ( Humphrey Bogart)

ONE DAY

@ number 41 (I lost a lot of respect for Nas and Kelis last night. That was very disrespectful of the to wear the N word plastered on their clothing. Disgusting!!!)

and everyone else who disagreed with Nas and Kelis,…

I feel as though Nas and Kelis were not doing this to be rude or ghetto or whatever…but as a wake up call to us African Americans… a lot of us black people dont realize how hurtful and embarrasing that word is, and everyone was shocked when Nas and Kelis showed up with that word plastered on themselves. It was kinda like how dare they call themselves that or brand themselves that?, when the truth of the matter is that we do it everyday and think its ok because we switched a few of the letters around or we say it amongst ourselves…The word is UNACCEPTABLE PERIOD! and if Nas and Kelis had to go To the extreme to help us as a whole see and understand that, then so be it….them wearin it on a tshirt or a jacket is no different from it being exchanged or calling someone that…ITS HURTFUL AND IS HURTING US… WAKE UP BLACK PEOPLE!

I loved Rihanna’s performance dress, it was cute, her blue dress was also cute but could have been fitted better. Solonge looked a hot mess. Alicia was stunning except for that french roll. Fantasia was decent. Keysia needs a real stylist, but black hair is hott on her. Chris b was ok to me. Beyonce’s hair was wtf?? Kelis & her hubby arent causing controversy they are just getting the world prepared and also promoting his album. He is allowed to do that.

Rhianna’s performance was boring but Morris Day and The Time they did a good job.

Everyone look nice expect for Solange, Chris Brown, Nas and Kelis.

93.

Monday, February 11, 2008 /

Chris Brown looked like a peppermint candy cane fool in that get-up, he shoulda just played it safe and wore a black suit like everyone else.

Nas and Kelis look like ignorant fools on a mission to nowhere…

Alicia Keys get my vote for best dressed and owning the night by performing TWICE and opening the award ceremony AND winning an award there after, Ms. Keys rocked it last night!

Liked Rihanna’s blue violet dress, the other…blech!

Solonge is wearing a trash bag cuz that’s where all her CD’s and straight to DVD movies are at

Luda looks sharp in his suit and so does Jay and Ne-Yo…Seal…nooo. John Legend shoulda stuck to a different top, the top and vest makes him look kinda prissy

Bee had a nice dress and looking great, though I swear her hair keeps getting blonder and blonder

Fantasia’s hair looks like Pepe Le Pew (French skunk from the old Bugs Bunny cartoons). In fact her and Keisha K. Solange are emanating all around stankness. Maybe ol’ Fanty’s been taking tips from Geto Prom Pics.

Er’body else look alright.

97.

MISSISSIPPI G_DDAMN

Monday, February 11, 2008 /

As for Nas And Kelis - thanks for negating all that dumb shyt we went through last year with Imus and Kramer. Bet they saying “I told you so”, right now. Ignant asses.

98.

KYS

Monday, February 11, 2008 /

Rihanna is so damn pretty that she can rock anything and look good, BUT I will say I didn’t like either of her outfits last night, but her hair was BANGIN.

Beyonce’s hair looked a wiggy mess….I mean DAMN. I didn’t like nothing she had on either.

I’d say for those that I actually saw, Alicia looked the best, and that ain’t saying much, cuz that green dress, although it showed her beautiful curves, didn’t do her no justice at the top and the bottom was too flowy and her eyelashes looked like they were about to fall off.

I’d say the best looking and best dressed was PRINCE’S fine ass.

As usual, Beyonce and Alicia Keys were fabulous! Rhianna has hits and misses sometimes, she tries to be very cutting edge, you make statements but no I wasn’t feeling any of her fits last night sorry boo!!

Though I am not feeling Fantasia’s dalmation vibe hair, she looked beautiful at the Grammy’s!!! Poor Solange, it must suck to be the ugly sister!!!

All the guys look fly!

Mr. & Mrs. Jones, no comment… no sir!!!

Monday, February 11, 2008 /

Woooaaahh, look at the size of Rihanna’s waist! I know she’s wearing a corset belt, but it’s not boned and fitted like some 17th century contraption. Her waist is actually that tiny.

101.

KAy

Monday, February 11, 2008 /

Rihanna is so dry when she perform, she always looks fab thou. She needs to pop pills before jumping on stage. chris Breezy looked more excited clapping for her than she looked performing. But then again my boo CB act like he got A.D.D all the time.

102.

U CAN HATE ME NOW!

Monday, February 11, 2008 /

I actually liked Rhis hair better in her performance , I know people always crack on her forehead but I think she looks better when she doesnt have all that hair in her face
Im sorry Im not feeling anybodys dresses though..Bey looked great but I hated the dress I couldnt beleive ellie saab made it , I know Rhi was trynabe “out of the box” and it actually looked better on tv then it does on these pics..but all in all it was very ill fitting thank god for the color or it wouldve really been dreadful
and I hated Ak’s blue dress and the hair was very reptilian her green and red dresses were vast improvements but was waay to tight on her chest seemed uncomfortable

103.

Just because you like her or whatever…. you can’t deny the fact that Zac had your girl Rhianna out there looking like a ghetto Tinkerbell. Nope, not buying into that style at all.

okay….i read CL and MTO alot and I am really feeling all of there efforts. Good to have a place to see black celebs. Please stop acting we need parents on this site. If I wanna say someone looks like a H.A.M. that doesn’t make me or anyone else a hater…we’re just being honest in our opinions. And ya’ll is right….Solange looked a damn mess. that dress was uber ugly. Fergie looked like sombody’s grandma. How old is he 80. I love Aretha Franklin, but spaghetti straps…give me a break…Ne-Yo was fresh to death on everything….Bey was cool. Luda and Camel looked like they could be my next ex-baby’s daddy’s. Chris Brown looked like a candy cane or babrber pole…smh…

Best dressed award should go to Rhi..

Beyonce once again wore a prom or pageant gown.

Alicia was beautiful in the blue gown.

That’s all i have to say; award show was boring as fuck. It was missing so many aspects…and then the singers/entertainers wonders why cd’s aren’t selling….

I love Rihanna’s haircut! It looks so cute on her. I also liked her look. It was different and daring but artsy at the same time. I guess you have to really appreciate fashion to like an outfit like that.

How many of you guys are tired of seeing Beyonce? I love her she’s actually one of my favs. But goodness B. I think she needs to take a break and let other talented people take the stage. I’m tired of seeing the sequined mini dresses and the shaking. The performance with Tina was okay but it wasn’t the performance of the night. I think her dress on the red carpet was a little weird. I think when somebody like her started off at such a good level it’s hard to top herself. So she can either get really bad or continue doing the same ol’ things she’s famous for and bores us all to death. I think Beyonce needs to reinvent herself. Do something we would least expect. ‘Cause the shaking is probably good for the fellas but she needs substance now. I still love her though.

I wish Nas and Kelis were forbidden from attending the Grammy’s with that attire on….So many fought and died for Black people to not be known or defined by that word, and here he is making a fool of himself by putting it on display. Sickening!

Monday, February 11, 2008 /

what kelis and nas are doing is terrible. they do not realize that they are opening pandoras box. soon whites will wear that shirt and then blk ppl will get mad at that. but blk ppl made it available to them. they are really spreading the ignorance disease.

rihanna’s performance was WACK as hell…she cant sing or dance. her mic clearly had a synthesizer in it.

its great to see blk ppl out and about looking nice and conducting themselves in an appropriate manner.

Monday, February 11, 2008 /

i liked rihanna’s dress dat she wore on da red carpet but da one she performed in was a bit over the top…..i don’t noe why everyone was gettin at chris brown’s suit i thought dat he looked unique, he didn’t try to look like all da other guys there who were wearing black…if u actually looked at the suit it was taylored nice and everything…..I LIKED IT!!…..Bee usually is on da best dressed list but at the grammy’s her dress didn’t realli hit the mark….like at the top of the dress the detailing was too much then when it flowed into the blue part i didn’t realli like it….i didn’t like her sister’s dress too it was too over the top….i really like alicia’s green dress dat she had on it was so pretty…..and fantasia’s hair didn’t look too bad like its different but who said different always has to be a bad thing

Chris Brown’s suit was loud but still cute…….all the suited men looked very nice.

I actually liked Beyonce’s outfit and I never like her looks, but the hair and everything fit perfectly.

Alicia Keys, she can never disappoint she’s beautiful…..

Rihanna…….didn’t like it, liked the hair but not the outfits. I give her props for taking risk but sometimes, she should go with the safe rode bc both dresses were NOT cute to me, she looked like she was going to a 80’s Sweet 16 party

LMAO @ Chris Brown. It’s time to grow up. What’s going on with this dude?

Solange’s dress and shoes, along with Fantasia’s hair, need to go. I guess the same could be said for Kelis and Nas.

I agree with concreteloop… I didn’t get any excitement with any of the outfits. Bee Disappointed me with her outfits.. the gown was okay but the other change was blaaaaahh! I think they are too caught up in being totally different instead of what looks good. Come on stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of those should have been on that list for the Should Have Stayed Home: Keyshia Cole, Fantasia, and Solange. Now don’t get me wrong, I love and respect Keyshia and Fantasia but I think they could have done better. What is going on with Solange, she kind of looks manly.

Real Talk

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 /

Beyonce’s hair was so freakin FLY!! It complemented Tina’s and I hope she keeps it. The color streaks were hot. I LOVED the green outfit she performed in with that matching minx green nail polish. So hot. I really liked her hair though.

Jay looked to cool for school. He did it BIG with Gucci.

I also APPRECIATED Nas and Kelis. With this being black history month and most of the big wigs in music in one place, it was perfec that he came out with his album title. He dumbfounded the reporter from CNN with his answer as to why he named it what he did. His answer was articulate and brillant and the reporter couldn’t say a thing, but moved on to HHID which Nas deaded - he said “that’s over, that was last year, we’re talking about this now.” BRILLIANT. Nas is too smart to have a title like that and not bring knowledge.

If I were Rihanna’s people I don’t think I would’ve had her lip-synching in front of all the SUITS you want to do business with. She could’ve saved herself if she knew how to dance at least. She showed all she has which is nothing but face and fashion. Both of which failed - she looked tired, her hair was wrong and her outfits were horrid.

Keyshia Cole was cute to me (except for the shoes). Her hair was hot.
Kelis’ gold pants were sooooo hot.
I liked Solange (she needs to blow out her hair), Alicia and Ne-Yo (slit at bottom of pants and shoes - FIYAH), but Luda looks like a mobster.
Chris Brown needs to be killed for that bullshit he wore.

133.

TaylorCheri

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 /

I thought overall Beyonce looked great as usual .
Rihanna, she actually pulled off the Zac Posen dress
she performed in, but its not quite a nice dress .
Chris Brown tried, looked as though he was “a blood wanting
to to show his classy side .”
Alicia once again great as usual .

The guys, it was the usual .
expect Kanye & Jay-Z always know how to change
their attire and colors .

Oh yeah about Kelis and Nas…….they definitely should not have
walked the red carpet, but they did manage to change
once they got into the grammys which was great .

134.

I have to say that both of Beyonce’s dresses were terrible, and her hair was a mess. Ms. Knowles could do with a serious image overhaul.

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 /

Anyone with real fashion sense would obviously appreciate rihanna’s style she nails it everytime… so innovative. She may not be the greatest singer ever but she is different and she has great songs that arent the typical crap on the radio her talent cant be denied “umbrella” was infectious and while others turned it down she saw its potential …grammy well deserved. AMY WINO is my girl best performance along with kanye. alicia was mediocre nothing new… wasnt feeling her outfits too tough. Beyonce needs a makeover this pageant, ice capade look is very boring and dated. fantasia dress was hot and for the nas and kelis haters… it was album promotion and they were making a statement trying to be tongue in cheek about the the whole controversy over the word… it made people notice and i think it was clever obviously it wasnt because they consider themselves to be n*ggers.
