Grammy Red Carpet Fashion Report Card

Wow!! Is what the Gals have to say about the fashion at the Grammy Awards. The 52^nd annual Grammy Awards was held in Los Angeles last night.

Aside from Lady Gaga lots of other celebs were out in very high fashion, couture looks. Beyonce, Pink, Ciara, and Rihanna were just a few. Ciara nabbed a Givenchy Haute Couture look fresh off the runway. Rihanna opted for a made-to-measure Elie Saab white gown. Beyoncé wore Stéphane Rolland. Pink strutted her stuff in a floor-length ombre dress by Tony Ward Haute Couture and nearly 3 million dollars worth of Neil Lane jewels.

Of course Lady Gaga was one of the biggest topics of the evening with her over the top fashion style. Gaga’s custom-made, crystallized Armani gown was quite impressive, maybe a little over the top, but it definitely fit the star’s personality. She also referenced her newfound appreciation for Giorgio Armani after he designed the star's five different outfits, saying “Gaga meets GA.”

Although there was Lots of Glamour at the Grammy’s there was lots of fashion don’ts. Brittney Spears topped it off, in a Dolce and Gabbana get-up, but she wasn’t the only one! Joining her is Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion, Wyclef Jean, Rickey Martin, Imogen Heap, and Shaila Durcal.

Some of music's biggest stars came out for last night's show.
