2013 Grammy Award Red Carpet



Oh nothing makes me happier than a red carpet watch on a rainy day in Sydney! Of course, whilst the Grammy Awards celebrate excellence in music and praise musicians for their talent, I have my own little version of awards to announce, and it’s regarding the best and the worst fashion and beauty choices on the red carpet.


Wax On- Wax Off







I had two look twice, if you ask me JT looks as though he has decided the skip the red carpet and instead send his very own wax statue from Madame Tussauds.




Floral Mess











Adele in Valentino

Now Adele has never been stick thin and that’s something I think is great, she works with what she has! But I’m just not sure about this frumpy looking dress. Whilst florals are all the rage, I refuse to mix two different patterned florals together; the shoes would be lovely with a different dress.
Actually... something about this dress reminds me of the old school Knitted Dolly Toilet Roll Holders. What do you think?

  
Return of the Mummies








Giuliana Rancic, in Carlos Miele, I won’t lie you’re a gorgeous little minx; however I don’t understand why you’re channeling a mummy? She almost appears to have no neck. At first I thought it may have been due to the colour of the fabric, but she’s beautifully tanned, the fact that her dress has a high neck just means she should have opted to put her hair up. Meanwhile, I think Tamia got the same memo as Giuliana, she too thinks the dress code was inspired by the Pharaohs.








Students from the Class of 2005 High School called, they said they want their formal look back.
Kaya Jones, I don’t know what she was thinking when she picked this dress. The smokey-eye is and the cherry lips are just far too much at one time. Also, whilst her makeup artist has tried to use a blend of silvers and greys, her eyes actually look to be almost blue and battered. The Dress is just not Grammys worthy. However, the colour is pretty, but I just wish she covered her cleavage up a little, she looks too cheap-prom-queen for my liking.




All American Hottie





I didn’t even know who Keltie Colleen was, but after strutting herself in this sexy number I’m definitely a fan. I love, love, love it all! Everything from the gorgeous flowy skirt, the jewel encrusted bodice, to the yellow pumps. Her makeup is fairly neutral and I love that she is wearing minimal accessories, less is SO much more and it’s evident that a good haircut/colour does wonders too.  




Cute as a Button




  

Alexa Chung looks adorable in this Valentino number. What made her stand out amongst the rest was that she looks as though she’s thrilled to be there, almost like a little girl who is proud to be wearing pretty party dress. Which makes sense really, Alexa is wearing a pretty dress to the party of all parties! Her sparkly Mary Janes give her look that extra bit of glamour. Oh and she could never go wrong with a powerful red pout.



Grecian Goddess






I know, I know. I need to move on. But girl crushes aside, Taylor looks radiant in this Grecian style White gown by J. Mendal. I know she’s rocked the Grecian style before, but the braided hair teamed with that statement making front fringe is a clear winner if you ask me. Her makeup artists ALWAYS get it right, I wish Kaya Jones’ team would take note, if you’re heavy on the eyes, keep the lips soft and neutral.





 Show Stopper







Everyone knows it’s brave to wear a red frock on the Red carpet, but I think Riri pulled it off! I’m actually Gobsmacked. Rihanna has been known to funk it up in every way possible, in terms of taking fashion-related risks, only being beaten by Lady Gaga and her infamous meat dress.  Regardless, I’m so glad she has come back to her senses and channelled a bit of glamour. With all the makeup and crazy hair colours we tend to forget that Rihanna truly is a pretty young thing.

Oh and P.S. Besides the fact that she annoys me, I have to admit that her music makes for great listening at the gym.  





Fabulous Fairy





One half of the famous Gotye duo, Miss Kimbra looks absolutely stunning. This dress is ridic! Whilst I probably couldn’t deal with the tulle fabric, I think Jamie Lee Major did an epic job at making a unique dress for a girl with a unique dress. Actually I don’t care if I had her banging body and the money to buy it; I would happily sit there excessively scratching my body like a diseased person throughout an awards ceremony. LOVE!

Who were your favoutites? Was I too harsh on Adele? Are you now googling Miss. Keltie Colleen as well? Or maybe that was just me...


Wogarella,

Hair Inspiration: Alicia Keys

It's no secret that I am completely and utterly obsessed with Miss Alicia Keys. There's something so humble about her spirit that draws me to her. Oh and not to mention that incredible voice she seems to easily project. A few years ago I hoped that one day, because just like Mariah and herself, I have a husky voice that maybe, by some bizarre chance of fate I may awake with a glass shattering voice. For all the right reasons of course. Sadly, it never happened. I'm musically inept. I'm working on the tone deafness, I've even been practicing my guitar playing skills. Maybe it's my fault for listening to ladies who have voices which project 5 Octave ranges! Or maybe the singing Gods hate me. Who knows, but in reality, I can't even hit one note. Not high, nor low. The voice cracks if I'm singing a bloody Kesha song, absolutely hopeless.


As I came to the realisation that I just couldn't mirror their voices, I gave up. Until one day a friend of mine told me I reminded her of Miss A Keys herself. Needless to say, she actually made my year. 2011, it was a great one. Ha, I'm deluded I know! She's clearly of African American and Italian decent whilst my parents are Middle Eastern, so the comparison was nothing but a sweet compliment.



However, ever since, I have tried my very best to channel her style. Whilst she's not high on the best dressed nor worded dressed list, I appreciate her funky sense of style, whether it be her edgy studded jeans or fabulous smokey eyes, which only accentuate her already beautiful almond shaped eyes.



Girl crush aside, I noticed an image of my girl rocking a trendy cropped bob recently. Please refer to photo below.






Whadayathink?


I LOVE IT. Whilst I know that mirroring her corn rows would've been an awkward move, it got me thinking... Could I possibly get away with a cropped do? In the past I would say no, clearly because I was rocking my natural fro', however since the amazing advancement in haircare has brought me Keratin, I'm actually considering the unthinkable, getting a dramatic hair-cut.



I've lost a fair amount of weight over the past few months, particularly in my upper body. So I'm not really worried about having a blown-up face. But am I crazy for wanting to cut off my long locks?


I know guys, haven't posted in a while and the first one I do is a self indulgent one. But hey, who ever said blogging wasn't about self reflection?


Maybe I should just stick to buying Alicia's CD's and singing at the top of my lungs with the car windows wound-up like a mad woman.


Wogarella,
