The Grammys are the olympics of all the music award shows, putting the MTV Video Music Awards and the American Music Awards to shame. However, the most defining part of the award show may not be the actual music, but the fashion. Every year the fashion gets more wild and outrageous, and dare I say, just plain weird?
For example, Rihanna's outfit.
What the heck is she wearing? If the whole dress were that white, fluffy, cotton-ball resembling material than it would not have been that bad. But it looks like a five-year-old stole his mother's scissors and decided to "improve" the dress. How is it okay for a dress to show that much skin? Is that even legal to be on television? Please, Rihanna... I know you are rebellious and daring, but next time just put on some clothing!
And how about Nicki Minaj?
I don't even mind the dress. Sure, its about a hundred feet too much leopard print, but what is really bothering me is the hair. I was not aware the Bride of Frankenstein hairstyle was fashionable. Minaj said of her outfit, "Its fashionista meets fabulosity." I have to say, I'm not seeing the "fabuolosity."
I know that singers are more daring in their fashion choices than actors and models, but should they keep their "daring" outfits for their stage performances only?
These outfits were only the lead up to the biggest "huh?" of the night. There had been great anticipation over what Lady Gaga was going to wear to the award show as she has always employed, shall we say "interesting" fashion techniques. And when I say interesting, I mean somewhat bizarre. I'm not sure I've ever seen a recent picture of Lady Gaga where she is in less than full theatrical makeup and a bizarre headpiece, not to mention a pair of high heels at least five inches high.
However, this time Lady Gaga outweirded even her infamous meat, and I mean literally raw meat, dress. At about five pm on Sunday, Gaga arrived to the award shows not in a fancy hair piece or some innovative, fashion forward dress, but an egg. An actual egg.
Apparently the famous pop singer was "incubating". Not really sure what she meant by that, but she was quoted as saying, "I was in the vessel for about seventy-two hours and it was a very creative experience and it was time for me to prepare and really think about the meaning of the song. I really wanted to be born on stage."
So, are Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, and Lady Gaga years ahead of their time fashion-wise? Or are there attention-getting outfits just that, worn purely for press? One thing is sure, the Grammy Awards are the only place where celebrities could get away with such outrageous outfits. As odd as some of the outfits are, I for one cannot wait to see how the artists top themselves next year!
