Award season is in full swing as the 55th Annual Grammy Awards took place last night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. I didn’t get to catch the full show since I am in Washington, D.C. for Shot@Life (more on that later), but I did get to watch the last hour or so with some pretty fab performances by Maroon 5, Alicia Keys, and Rihanna.
Much was talked about before the Grammy’s about a list of “fashion standards and practices” CBS sent out to the artists and guests attending the ceremony. Because of heavy fines and such by the FCC, CBS seems to be trying to clamp down on how scantily clad an artist can be on live television.
None of that seemed to matter last night as music’s best came out to be honored, entertained, and acknowledged. Winners for the evening included Miguel, Frank Ocean, Rihanna, Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson, and more!

I don’t like speaking ill of people but that dress Adele had on was a bit busy. The dress shape and style would have been beautiful in another color/print. Alicia Keys looked marvelous.
Rihanna was my best dressed of the evening. Her hair, dress, make-up, everything was on point. I thought Alicia brought it too. I was underwhelmed by Beyonce. And Adele, I wanted to like her dress but I just couldn’t.
Gotta agree with you about Rihanna, she rocked that red dress, my fave color!
