2015 Grammy Awards — Best Dressed

The trends of award season continue on with the Grammys, black/sheer combos, white with hints of silver, and jumpsuits. But the big trend to me of the evening, super sexiness from the ladies! These luscious ladies on the Grammys red carpet were vivaciously all about the Va-va-voom — cutouts, sheer effects, plunging necklines, and high slits! So of course my best dressed list includes some sexy numbers, but I managed to sneak in a few traditional picks as well. Enjoy!

Iggy looked magnificent in my fave red carpet color, cobalt blue. The details of this custom-made Giorgio Armani silk crepe dress were extremely eye-catching, sheer paneling at the bottom, as well as side and shoulder cutouts.

Jessie J

The 57th Annual GRAMMY Awards - Red Carpet

Jessie J looked so gorgeous in this sheer Ralph & Russo black dress. It was full-on glam and I love it!

Jumpsuits are all over the 2015 Award Season. There is just something so striking about this black Inbal Dror jumpsuit with a sheer cutout bodice. It shimmers & sparkles all over!

Shout-outs to her glam squad — stylist, Monica Rose style; chic hair styling by Melissa Brown; beautiful make-up look (shimmering smoky eye, bold red lip), Catalina Linasu.

Jennifer Hudson

The 57th Annual GRAMMY Awards - Red Carpet

Jennifer went the simplistically minimal route in this understated LWD by Tom Ford. Her entire accessories, head to toe, were spot-on — metallic Jimmy Choo clutch, Dsquared2 mixed metallic stilettos, diamond Marli choker, Jorge Adeler ring, as well as jewelry pieces from Casa Real and Jack Vartanian.

Love this purple pout — then you should check out MAC Cosmetics, their lip shade, Heroine.

Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy did cutouts right, and all over, up & down as well! This white Emilio Pucci dress with loosely stitched cutouts was super sexy, amazing!

She paired with her look some exquisite accessories — Norman Silverman Diamonds earrings, bracelets, and rings, as well as black Jimmy Choo sandals.

Celeb makeup artist Mary Phillips used Physicians Formula Argan Wear Ultra-Nourishing Illuminating Argan Oil as a primer. “It quickly absorbed while leaving a glamorous effect on the skin,” she told Us. Phillips then layered on Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in #7. “It has a super dewy, natural appearance,” she said.

For her Grammys red carpet debut, Avon Global Celeb Makeup Artist Lauren Andersen played up the Scorpion star’s warm-toned complexion (and pastel Emilio Pucci gown) with the peachy golden tones from the Avon Eye Dimensions Eye Shadow in Khaki Chic. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eey Pencil in Scortch and Avon SuperExtend Winged Out Mascara in Blackest Black added even more dimension.

Anna Kendrick

Anna Kendrick

Anna went pretty basic, but it’s still a sexy basic, in a classic black Band of Outsiders tuxedo suit. In keeping with an understated theme, she is rockin’ some great accessories, Selin Kent ring, Venyx World ring, black Jimmy Choo “Darilyn” heels, and Uma K rings too.

10959870_436503206497896_317966401070464124_n

To give Kendrick “that sexy Parisian women’s hair,” stylist Craig Gangi curled her hair in 1-1/2-inch sections, then combed through them with his fingers. For even more volume and dry texture, he spritzed Unite Texturiza before finishing with Unite Session Max Spray.

Celebrity makeup artist Vanessa Scali made Anna’s eyes stand-out by using BECCA’s Automatic Eve Pencil in Majorca ($23) and Ultimate Crème Eyeliner in Romanticism ($20) to the top lashes and inside the waterline.She also paired with her look, Jacquie Aiche earrings.

Gwen Stefani

Gwen went architectural with this semi-sheer-bodice black jumpsuit by Atelier Versace. At first glance I wasn’t so sure, but it really is a look I couldn’t take my eyes off of. And pairing perfectly with this all black ensemble, black bedazzled Louboutin pumps.

And hey, what about these mesmerizing Lorraine Schwartz jewelry pieces — diamonds are a girl’s best friend!

LUPITA NYONG’O

lupita-nyongo-290

Lupita’s Elie Saab graphic print look, in moderation, aka shortened, I’m now a fan. It was a bit too much for the eye, flowing and full-on. But here, it’s super chic, very fashionable.

10945488_774399362641966_1482027947738092796_n

And what about these amazing accessories, bright red Sophia Webster heels, matching Judith Leiber clutch, and statement-making Fred Leighton jewelry.
