This is SO pretty. I will admit to being unsure whether the fringe portion helps or hurts. Sometimes I think it's unexpected and cool, and sometimes I think it looks swampy.

I like it better in this shot.

Well it's not somber!!!! I love this on him; he carries it beautifully. His interviews were also lively. He came across like a good egg.
Teyana Taylor in Tom Ford

I think her chest is actually more level than it looks here, and this is a product of how hard she had to tape this sucker to get it to stay. She looks fantastic in it, though. That body is a work of art.

In case you're wondering about the construction of the back.

I love him, and this is so flashy, but I wish it weren't giving me shades of Michael Jackson. No idea whether that was intentional, or just a byproduct of this kind of outfit.
Ana Amelia Batlle Cabral and Marcello Hernández

I had never seen Marcello's girlfriend before -- and Getty got her name wrong, like way wrong, so if you see a reference to “Elliana” in the comments, that’s referring to this, by the wrong name. (The real Elliana is like 18, so yikes!) Anyway Marcelo’s girlfriend Ana is an architect, and if this is her first red carpet, or even if it isn't, WHAT a feather in her cap to nail it this hard at the freaking Grammys.
MC Lyte

MC Lyte was the announcer for the telecast. I decided this counted as metallic because it's more bronze to me than brown. I do feel like this is the Grammy equivalent of "I get to sit all night and I'm off camera so I can keep it chill."
Ari Lennox in Valdrin Sahiti

I feel like... I think I want the skirt she's hatching from to come up a bit higher.

Very nicely done.

Astronaut Gayle King also attended.

I love the big silver adornment on here, and also that the mere sight of Gloria's face inspires so much warmth in me.
Queen Sheba

She was nominated for spoken word poetry, and I don't think this needed any of the heavy black fabric, but the gold material is phenomenal.
Justin Sylvester

I find him frustrating on E at times, but he did nail this -- that is ideal for when you're sitting in a chair talking about fashion and need to be comfortable but also fancy.
Keltie Knight

But that's a lot of pelvis and potential pubis for a red-carpet interviewing gig.
