My Grammys red carpet comprehensive review
Cosplaying fashion police.
Live from Las Vegas (for whatever reason), the absolutely honest and NEVER rigged Grammys, are here!
If you’re an awards show junkie like myself, you know that compared to the bright, shining lights of events such as the Oscars and Golden Globes, the Grammys are akin to that underachieving cousin every extended family has.
With a history of perhaps not being the most *cough* ethical in selecting their winners or even nominees (i.e. The Weeknd 2021), in recent years, ‘music’s biggest night’ has lost nearly all of its sparkle.
As former One Direction star and Yolanda Hadid nemesis Zayn Malik once said, “Unless you shake hands and send gifts, there’s no nomination considerations. Next year I’ll send you a basket of confectionary.”
Many artists such as Kanye West and Nicki Minaj have called out the Recording Academy for refusing to nominate Black singers, songwriters, producers, and musicians overall, despite the profound achievements that date back to before the Grammys were even a thing.
I digress, and now, time for something I actually know a thing or two about, fashion!

The Best Dressed
I have never been a Doja stan. I said it. The TikTok viral sounds got old for me, and I’ve been listening to Folklore on loop since 2020. However, this lewk (look) is for a capital W W-I-N-N-E-R. The hair is giving No Doubt Gwen Stefani-Shelton realness, the Coperni purse, the Versace realness, it’s incredibly chefs kiss.
Other Honorable Mentions
Miss Germanotta. How far we’ve come. 11 years ago, this b*tch arrived in an egg. Now, she’s serving jazz icon status. Timeless elegance.
It’s like…fembots….but Donatella bots. And it’s hilarious. Last year’s Grammy lewk was hard for Dua to beat, but as a presenter and light of my life, this slays.
The Gucci Love Parade lives in my head rent free. This is giving all of those vibes, upscaled to couture. I want to walk around my house in this every day. I want to clean my bathroom in this. And the trim serves as a scrubber!
The dress is exactly the type of Grammys funkiness that we need. Elegant but fun. Serving shape. Serving body. I also was about to compliment her glam team on the face but…that’s just her, babes.
The Worst Dressed
Hear me out. This look is cool I guess to the normal eye. However, the Kardashians in 2013 called and they want their Balmain wardrobes back.
Exhibit A:
While archival looks often succeed, this just serves cheugy realness, and not the high level of style I know Lil Nas X can bring, especially if he wants to win. Give us Satanic Montero realness. Give us a stunt. Give us…something…at least.
Honorable Mentions
She’s back, she’s dating Bella Thorne’s ex, Mod Sun, and she’s clearly sticking to her roots. I agree with the belt, at least.
Kidding, this is Jared Leto. But, I think Adam would wear something like this if he got invited to the Grammys. Why does Jared Leto always look like he’s going to Burning Man every day of his life.
What did she do to her stylist where she sought out revenge?
I’m ending on a bang you guys. A real, controversial bang. I do not like this look. It wasn’t what a winner should be wearing. O-Rod (thank you, Eva) has been giving us tireless glam since she dropped Driver’s License about a year ago, so why was this so mediocre? Where was the moment?

I’ll stop pretending I’m Joan Rivers now and leave you all to sit with these. See you for the MET Gala, my personal Super Bowl, in May!

incredible comparison of Lil Nas to Kim. Thank you for keeping me cultured.
I also hated O-Rod's look it missed the mark. it tried but it flopped
