CELEB SPOTLIGHT: GRAMMY FASHION WINNERS AND LOSERS

Last night at the 54th Grammy Awards, it's safe to say it was all about Adele. After her whirlwind year in 2011, it was so surprise she'd scoop the 3 big gongs of the night.

She didn't only scoop the awards though, she gave an amazing performance and killed it on the red-carpet looking every inch the diva we all know she is. This is the most stunning I've seen Adele, and her new blonde hair works so well for her.


However, not everyone got it as on point as Adele did, and some people need to consider seeking new stylists...

WINNERS

Rihanna - Rihanna is proving that the little black dress and two rags on a piece of string is a classic look, and she's pulling it off perfectly here. She's giving amazing body, big hair and lots of face. She looks the skinniest I've seen her in a long time (I don't know if that's a good thing), which is the perfect opportunity to show off her golden and shimmering body.

Katy Perry - I'm seeing blue. Katy Perry decided to tone it down this year with her blue hair quiffed back and a blue dress that looks like it was knitted by Granny Perry. When I first saw the dress it was a "WTF" moment, but after closer examination, I like it.

Jessie J - Every the beauty, Jessie J worked the red carpet in this amazing metallic full length dress with her statement full fringe and long pony tail. I love it when Jessie J goes all girly on us, because she is known for taking a different route with her fashion (we all know she's a fan of her play suits). More of this please Jessie!

WINNER Adele - Just wow. Adele is the clear fashion winner of the night. When I first saw the images of her, it was an open-mouthed moment, I almost didn't recognise her. She's traded her usual huge hair for a shorter cut, with a new amazing blonde colour! Coupled with a really flattering black dress and red lip, she worked that look OUT. She looks radiant, glowing and so beautiful. All of the other plus size celebrities out there could take a leaf out of Adele's book on how to dress (I'm looking at you Christina Aguilera).

Kelly Osbourne - After naming and shaming Kelly Osbourne yesterday in the Celebrities with pink hair post, I think she proves how to make pink work. Her gold glittering dress is very flattering to her new tiny frame, and she looks glowing and radiant.

Taylor Swift - I'm not the biggest fan of this dress, but it works. It definitely wasn't a loser, but it wasn't the biggest winner of the night. Playing it safe as usual, Taylor Swift wears a full length gold dress (that kind of looks like a doily). I think the neck line could have been done a bit better, as it looked like it was choking her, but overall, it was a nice look. Just nice.

LOSERS

Kelly Rowland - Throughout the X Factor, Kelly Rowland she had style, but I feel she just missed it here. The dress felt dated and wasn't flattering, the hair could have been done better, and I really didn't like the hem line. It's not the worst, but it's not worthy of the winners.

LOSER Robyn - Oh Robyn. Robyn, Robyn, Robyn....I love you, but what are you doing? This whole 'I'm different and quirky thing' only works if you look different, quirky and NICE, not different, quirky and a hot mess. From the dress (which looks like it needed ironing), to the shoes, to that flap at the back (what even is that?), it's just a total mess. Huge miss here Robyn.

Nicki Minaj - Hmm, Nicki Minaj. When she walked down that red carpet, the reaction on Twitter was 'Nicki, what are you doing?'. I didn't realise The Pope was the new fashion accessory that everyone wanted. I realise it was all part of the concept of the performance, but you just looked a bit stupid.

Fergie - This dress is a genuine laugh out loud moment. What were you thinking? It looks like you wrapped orange lace around your black underwear. Actually, I think that's how you did. It's not nice, it's not flattering, and it's not going to win you any style awards. Did she really think people would like this? She would have looked better just turning up in the black underwear.

Paris Hilton - I wanted to like this, I really did, but every time Paris Hilton tries to do 'classy', she just missed the mark. The dress looked dated, out of place, and it wasn't the most flattering. The half-hearted waistline just tops it off for me as well. It's more a case of the dress wearing Paris, than Paris wearing the dress.

Cyndi Lauper - Oh Cindy. You're in your 60s, and you're dressing like this? A lot of people liked this look, but I think it's a total miss. The hair makes you look like the drag-queen Pandora Box and the lengths of everything were just off. The sleeves are too long, the cut up the leg is too high and the length of the skirt is too long as well. What's wrong with a nice dress?
