All The Fashion At The 2012 Grammys

Last night (12 February) was music’s big night, with the 54th annual Grammy Awards taking place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. While the show was overshadowed by the shocking and sudden death of R&B diva Whitney Houston, the Grammys still attempted to put on a great show, that included a lovely Whitney Houston tribute by ‘American Idol‘ alum Jennifer Hudson. It was of course British goddess Adele‘s big night, winning all six of her nominations. Other big winners included Kanye West and Foo Fighters, with English producer Paul Epworth and indie folk band Bon Iver getting their moment to shine too.

The stars came out all glammed-up in big numbers on the red carpet, with fan favourite Lady Gaga deciding to skip it all. Check it out below:

BEST-DRESSED: Katy Perry looked stunning in a three-quarter sleeve Elie Saab embellished floral appliqué gown, matching her blue hair.

Carrie Underwood opted for a bridal look in a white longsleeve Gomez-Gracia silver sequined dress.

‘Motivation‘ singer Kelly Rowland looked beautiful in a nude Alberta Ferretti dress, with a silver floral embroidered bodice.

BEST-DRESSED: Blonde-haired Rihanna looked drop dead sexy in an Armani custom gown, with a plunging neckline and dramatic back. Riri helped design the Michelle Pfeiffer Scarface-inspired dress.

Sporting a ponytail with blunt bangs, Jessie J had a disco-ball moment in a silver Julien Macdonald dress.

With her hair up in a bun, Country sensation Taylor Swift graduated from her usual strapless gowns, by going for a Zuhair Murad capsleeve gown, with a high-neck.

BEST-DRESSED: Rocking retro curls and popping red lips, Adele showed off her curves in Armani.

Kelly Osbourne looked gorgeous in a sparkling off-shoulder Tony Ward dress.

Rapper Nicki Minaj had everyone talking, by channeling Little Red Riding Hood in her Versace satin robe.

The Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie took a bold move in an orange Jean Paul Gaultier lace sheer gown.

Alicia Keys kept it simple in an Alexandre Vauthier dress with padded shoulders, paired with Christian Louboutin pumps.

Fishnet-faced Lady Gaga didn’t disappoint in custom gold and black Versace. Pity we couldn’t see the ensemble in motion.
