the grammy's happened and here's how i feel
it's a post-grammy's world, and we're allll living in it.
Shhh I know they happened like two weeks ago but a bitch has been busy ok!
Award shows are like a guilty pleasure of mine. A lot of people talk major shit on them, their validity, their quality, but not I. Well, maybe sometimes I talk shit, but mostly in good manner!
Seriously, I do love award show season — frankly, pop culture should have been my middle name. I have followed television, film, music, theatre, and fashion heavily since I was a young girl. Hell, I had Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube accounts at like 11 years old. So, the love has spawned from something.
The Grammy’s officially happened (woo) and I have taken the last week or so to marinate on the evening’s happenings and results. Yes, I did watch the whole show (pre-ceremony and red carpet included). So, let’s get started with my honest thoughts, feelings, and opinions on the lewks.
Let’s talk fashion first
The fashion is half the reason I watch any award show. I love playing Tyra Banks as every celebrity gets out of their limos and wagons and steps onto whatever-the-hell colored carpet it is. Let’s talk my top, middle, and bottom four for the night.
Top four:
Doja Cat
This dress is everything it needed to be and the styling of it is even better. I love the dramatic one shoulder with the juxtaposition of the mermaid fit at the bottom. Slay the house down.
Paris Hilton
I mean c’mon it’s mf Paris Hilton. This is serving early 2000’s in the least cringy way possible and it is perfect for her! I feel like this is her revenge/comeback era after people shit on her for so long, so a look like this is so fitting. The hair is also everything and more and I hope to see more looks like this in the future from Paris.
Steve Lacey
The fit of this suit, the shoes, the clutch, the sunnies, the broach….I mean wow. This is an ensemble. Everything here is perfectly styled and looks like it was meant to be put together, not like it was forcefully pieced together. Stunning.
Amanda Gorman
I would wear this. I want to wear this. The shape of this dress is flattering on so many different kinds of bodies, so I love it off the bat already. Plus the lace and tule combo is GIVING everything it needs to give. Huge, massive fan.
Middle four:
Olivia Rodrigo
I feel like Liv has FINALLY been on her shit with red carpet looks lately and then this was such a flop, especially considering the fact that she was a presenter for Best New Artist. The necklace is atrocious which I think ruined the entire thing for me. The dress itself isn’t bad, it’s just sort of lame. Hoping for a better look soon as she enters her OR2 era.
Harry Styles
This might be shocking to those of you who know me personally and/or follow me on IG, because I did post about how much I love this. That was my fan voice talking…this is my fashion voice talking. Truthfully, I really do enjoy this outfit and I love how Harry wears things that are flashy, colorful, and different! I wish he would have worn a cool suit for the red carpet, though. This feels too much like a Love on Tour outfit for me and I don’t like it for the occasion. But it could have been worse!
Gus Kenworthy
Okay so this is going in the middle for a few reasons. I wish this was a VMAs outfit and not a Grammys look. I loveeee the Prada overalls and if I had that kind of $ I would buy them myself. BUT the Apple Watch is making me cringe. Could have been elevated to fit the event better in my humble opinion.
Adele
Adele is going to look hot no matter what, but this dress is aging her. I wish she did something elegant in the same vain but not as grandmother-of-the-bride-esqe. Also velvet is tacky and I will always think that.
Bottom four:
Camilla Cabello
What the fuck does her stylist have against her. This silhouette makes her body look banging, but GIRL THIS TOP. It ain’t it. This looks like something you would beg your mom to let you wear to prom even though your nipples are out. Plus the Steve Madden-esque shoes are continuing to give prom/homecoming. The lack of hair styling here is not helping. Bad, bad, bad.
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelley
Here’s the two-for-one no one asked for. Megan looks like she is going to prom in 2009 and MGK looks like the Tin Man in the least slay way possible. The two of them cannot seem to get a look right even though they act like they own the world. Boo.
Jack Harlow
This whole thing looks cheap to me. The color of the suit is not good for his skin tone IMO and the leather gloves….gave me a physical ick reaction. The lace popping out at the top is cute but not for this suit! It should have been black.
Sam Smith and Kim Petras (and company)
I’m sorry but this is giving Party City and Spirit Halloween. I guess they are going for a costume vibe but like YOU ARE RICH!!! Do something interesting for all of us poor people to enjoy please, I am begging you.
