2016 Grammys

I am in no way a fashionista.  I think its acceptable to leave the house in sweats and Sorel boots, sans makeup.  I am also not in the spotlight being photographed whilst doing my comings and goings.  Its confusing to me when rag mags post pics of celebs grocery shopping (in sweats and hoodies) and try and shape the picture like the mentioned celeb has a drug problem (based on their outfit).  LOL.  So-- all you famous people out there-- I support your decision to wear whatever you want if you need to make a pitstop at Walgreens for tampons and a gallon of milk.

All that being said-- events such as the Grammys are on another level.  Nationally televised award shows require a certain level of clothing oomph.  Its not clothing-- its statement attire.  For whatever reason, I expect classy and timeless attire from leading ladies.  Oftentimes, my expectations come up short.

Last night's Grammy spectacular threw me quite a bit.  While I totally get the edgy nature of this show, in that its music, I still want elegance and sophistication.  There is a fine line needing to be walked; innovative and avant-garde while still maintaining a piece of "that looks awesome."

Below are a few examples of what I think hit the nail on the head:

Kaley Cuoco

Kaley killed it in this white jumpsuit by Naeem Khan.  Fresh and edgy, Kaley showed just enough skin giving this outfit a perfect amount of sex appeal.  Her hair and makeup didn't take away from this one piece's timeless silhouette.

Bonnie Raitt

The epitome of cool, Bonnie rocked a simple all black suit paired with the perfect amount of sparkle.  Minimal makeup is Bonnie's standby however, her drop earrings amped up the chic shape of her jacket.  Love me some Bonnie.  A true talent.

Vanessa Lachey

I'm loving this dress.  Short, sexy and playful.... Vanessa looked amazeballs in this flashy get up.  Hair back to play up her gorgeous face, Vanessa kept things simple and let the dress talk for itself.

Epic fails of the night (in my opinion):

All of the ladies above have amazing figures (though a bit too skinny for my liking) and chose dresses that were just blah.  Giuliana sucks at getting dressed.  Carrie chose a dress more suitable for the Oscars and Madison looks like she is ready for the junior prom.
