2014 Grammys Red Carpet Fashion: the Good, the Bad, and the Absolutely Nutters

The Modern Family star wore a chic, simple black and white Pucci dress on the Grammys red carpet.

The fashion commentator looked a bit glam and more than a little goth in a black long-sleeved Badgley Mischka gown with embellished shoulders and an oversized cross necklace draped over the back of her ensemble.

Colbie Caillat went for drama in a red mock neck gown with an asymmetric sheer panel across the bust. While we applaud her effort, the red feathers look ready to take flight from Caillat’s dress.

Hilton’s embroidered, sparkling white gown with mock neck and long sleeves looks more appropriate for polar vortex-affected areas of the country than sunny Los Angeles. We hope the strategic peekaboo panels offer some ventilation.

We’re not sure if the singer was channeling a haute couture version of the Little Mermaid with her deep blue strapless gown and red hair, but whatever the inspiration, her edgy, glamorous look seems to be working.

Ms. Perry’s ethereal Valentino makes the singer look as if she’s been enveloped in her music. Love it or hate it, this frothy number looks like it was made especially for the Grammy’s red carpet.

Pink showed off her curves in a body conscious red satin strapless gown for the Grammys red carpet. We know how this singer loves to make a bold statement, and her sleek gown is definitely a diva dress.

Madonna’s menswear-inspired Ralph Lauren outfit was chosen by her son, who wore a similar spiffy ensemble for the Grammys.

Though the singer’s plunging neckline may be a bit daring, we think she looks absolutely gorgeous in the sleek, deep blue Armani gown.

The style risk-taker channeled Old Hollywood in a metallic green long-sleeved Lanvin dress.

The country crooner went for maximum impact in a red gown with a plunging neck by Pamella Roland.

Likened to chainmail, the shimmering material of Taylor Swift’s Gucci gown is utterly hypnotic. The country singer sure does love her sparkles.

Amber Rose showed off her post-baby body in a curve-baring, golden gown.

The Mom star looked classically stunning in a navy blue strapless gown.

The Pitch Perfect actress went for a daring, cleavage baring pastel Azzaro gown at the Grammys. For a more formal event, the dress might be a bit too ostentatious, but at an anything-goes event like the Grammy’s, it strikes the perfect balance between sassy and classy.

Bold metallics seemed to be the watchword at the Grammys this year, and Ciara’s dazzling, low-cut Emilio Pucci dress took the trend to an extreme. We have total respect for anyone who can look this glamorous while pregnant.
