This year's Grammy Awards had some fun special effects including the lighting on Carrie Underwood's performance gown and Frank Ocean's digital piano screen. I loved the strings of lights hanging throughout the Staples Center, it made it feel so homey in that massive arena.
BoiseBombshell's Best Performances:
Frank Ocean
Carrie Underwood
Elton John & Ed Sheeran
Alicia Keys & Maroon 5 - I LOVE her "Girl on Fire" song, so empowering!
Rihanna - she just impressed me overall tonight, incredible vocal performance and she knocked me off my feet with her sheer red gown
BoiseBombshell's Worst Performances:
Taylor Swift - she always has so much going on during her performances, it's so distracting. What does the circus and Alice in Wonderland have to do with breaking up. Oh Taylor we are never getting back together... like ever.
BoiseBombshell's Best Dressed (I feel this list gets smaller every award show):
Carrie Underwood- I am seeing her in concert in 1 week!!! I LOVE this dress, but I think she should've done a different necklace, maybe black diamonds.
Rihanna in Azzedine Alaia- I was impressed by the tastefulness of her floor-length gown. She kept it age-relevant by having sheer cutouts on the front. See it on the E!News Glam Cam here. I've never seen her look so stunning.

Jordyn Grohl- loves the graphic print, a major spring trend represented well by Louis Vuitton this season, her simple simplistic approach with a pop of color in her earrings was perfect. I didn't like her platform chunky shoes though...
Kimbra- I don't want to love it, but something about this whole look...she's like a brunette tinkerbell, it's so whimsical I just can't help it, it's a fun-flirty-fairytale dress. I think it only works because it's the Grammy's.
BoiseBombshell's Maybes:
Miranda Lambert - I loved the dress it was very flattering on her and the color was so rich, but the cuffs and the clutch and the earrings were too much. She should've either pulled back her hair and only worn the earrings or leave her hair down and only where a tear drop pendant.
Faith Hill- I like how she represented this season's new sheer trend in a edgy, yet classic way. I didn't like the earrings. She should've worn a small metallic stud. The dress was perfect, but the shoes were all wrong. She should've done a metallic chunky-strap heel, not a workday patent leather pump.
BoiseBombshell's No-Nos:
Taylor Swift - the Greek goddess look is so not in and the girl needs to embrace her pale skin and the fact white is cannot be her color and I think she's starting to get a little too thin...
Adele - this dress in very unflattering on her fabulously curvy figure, I'm sorry Valentino but what were you thinking, and the matching shoes..noway
Jennifer Lopez - the fabric is cheap, the asymmetrical sleeve it out and again ladies the one leg thing was a one-time red carpet wonder pulled off by Angelina Jolie and only Angelina Jolie
Beyonce- She could wear anything, the girl is amazing, but I wasn't a big fan of her outfit of choice. I don't like the middle part in her hair, not a fan of pony tails at award shows. The dual bangle kills me, just pick an arm.
Katy Perry in Gucci- Although she has a great body in this dress, it was just a tacky overall look. Too much chest, tasteless embellishments and not a good color (would've been better in navy or black). The front keyhole trend is out.
Giuliana Rancic - I'm sorry G, I adore you, but this dress is terrible. It's not fitted right to you petite frame and the color is not for you. I still love you, promise!!!
Boise Bombshell's "What-in-the-world!":
Carrie Underwood's Nails - they looked cheap against her diamond necklace and designer gown
Janelle Monae- she looks like a Spanish matador
Ashanti - Yes that is her underwear you are seeing through her gown...girl please, this is a red carpet!
Florence Welch in Givenchy - The Loch Ness Monster/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. She always makes herself look so old, she's only 26. Carly Rae Jepsen who looks a decade younger, yet she's actually a year older than Florence Welch.
Esperanza Spalding- No to everything but the metallic belt.
BoiseBombshell's Bad Boys (not in a good way):
Jack White - He creeps me out, he looks dead. Hated how the blues in his hat and his pocket handkerchief weren't in the same hue of blue.
Mario Lopez- A maroon suit? Need I say more.
Frank Ocean - His top looked like a cardigan/scrubs
Jay Manuel from America's Next Top Model...there are no words for this suit
Chris Brown- He makes me cringe
BoiseBombshell's Notes:
- Nicole Kidman needs to wears her hair some other way, we're all over the stick straight locks

| Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban at the Grammy's |
- Kelly Clarkson & Faith Hill - twinzies with the black knee length sheer trend looks

- Not a fan of the pointed acrylic nail trend, worn by Adele and Rihanna at the Grammy's

Overall it was an entertaining night. Next Sunday I will be busy getting blown away by Carrie Underwood in concert here in Boise!!! I can't wait! Get the details here.
Be Bold,
Be Brave,
Be Beautiful,

I loved how Adele wore something with color! It's a miracle, but you're right, not flattering on her.
