The 2011 Grammy Awards found the stars dressed to impressed in some of your favorite designers.  It was an evening of both leg and cleavage baring action on the red carpet.  The Grammys, where celebrities are willing to take a risk or be risque all in the name of creativity.  This is where the daring are rewarded for taking a chance.  Some went for the shorter hemline or thigh-high slit, while others opted for the sheer and transparent look.  It’s all done in the name of fashion.  Who was your best dressed?

Red Carpet Looks:

Couture came to the Grammy’s this year, and its arrival signaled a look towards the future.  We were granted a preview of the future of fashion in the new decade, and all is well.

Lady Gaga set the bar for the evening.  Her Armani Prive gown was designed and built to stimulate our visual senses.  Gaga was orbited by perfectly manicured glittery strips that could double as a shield to keep away intruders.  So that’s what it looks like to have the world revolve around you.  Let’s not forget the tights and shoes which brought the singer’s look to greater heights. 

Rhianna could have been the heroine in any sci fi film with this Elie Saab Couture gown.  Her hair and make up were flawless, and perfectly completed the look.  The structured shoulders gave this gown its futuristic vibe, and all traces of the last decade evaporated.

Ciara made a bold choice with this selection.  If Rhianna was the heroine, Ciara was the gorgeous villainess in Givenchy Couture.  It is sheer lace and textured with just enough embellishments.  The look says welcome to the future, and the future is badass.
