Five Ways To Dress Like A Grammy Star
Comments (0)
Shimmer and sparkle were key looks at the 2012 Grammy Awards. With the exception of the inevitable and unfortunate few, including Nicki Minaj (what was she thinking, wearing a religious-themed dress and coming with a so-called Pope?), the red carpet was honored with bold and beautiful dresses. Needless to say, not everyone gets to wear those gowns on a casual basis. However, there is no rule against using inspiration from Rihanna’s plunging backless dress or Adele’s shimmery classic-but-modern frock for our own styles. Here are five ways to incorporate these styles into your wardrobe - Grammy-inspired.
Adele
Adele hit all the right notes in her sparkling Giorgio Armani gown. This version from Modcloth does not have the sequins, but the similar cut and three-fourths length sleeve make it more wearable for an evening party. Don a coifed hairdo, red lips, and silver earrings, and you will sure to exude Old Hollywood glamour à l'Adele.

Kate Beckinsale
Kate Beckinsale looks stunning in a draped one-shoulder Zuhair Murad piece with bow detailing. This short and sexy dress looks fabulous on her; the draping gives it a Grecian touch and the bow gives it a flirty look. This green Modcloth double has similar draping and a slightly vintage take on Beckinsale’s gown. Tie a velvet bow on the shoulder to replicate her Grammy dress.

Carrie Underwood
Carrie Underwood shone on the red carpet donning a Gomez-Gracia gown that was embellished with hundreds of silver sequins. It also featured a plunging back that offset her tan skin gorgeously. This stand-in Unica Melrose dress has similar sequin and back designs that is more wearable for a night out. Keep the rest of your ensemble simple (with the exception of killer heels) to let this bold dress stand out.

Rihanna
Rihanna’s backless Giorgio Armani dress, complete with a plunging neckline and hip slit, stunned audiences on the red carpet. Her gown screams modern, sexy, and risqué, which accurately represents her personality. This Asos piece has a similar backless design and a floor-length style, but more appropriate for daytime wear. Add some bold accessories to look chic on the city streets.

Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton, a regular on the red carpet, does not disappoint in her stunning Basil Soda dress. Her white gown is complemented with a gold belt and gold embellishments, giving it a simple but elegant look. This Stop Staring dress is not as prominent as Hilton’s dress, but the fitted style and belt are appropriate for work or a day out. Wear a long coat and accessorize to create a classy and elegant look.
