Ok, so I'm a LITTLE late to the bat on this one, but I thought I'd give a quick rundown of the notable Grammy Red Carpet fun.

My personal fave is a showdown between Little Red Riding Minaj, and Terminator Sasha. I'll start with little Nicki.

So, Ms. Minaj trotted down the carpet in a great big Versace cloaked number complete with matching pope.

In the other corner, we had Russian singer Sasha Gradiva. She wore quite a beautiful, muted, flowing gown with a little... embellishment.

So... no one anger the Russian Asassin...

When I first saw Taylor Swift I was POSITIVE she was NIcole Kidman promoting Moulin Rouge... but either way, I do LOVE the detail on this piece...

Meanwhile, I think Jessie J destroyed a Disco Ball and rolled around in the pieces to get this little number. She really shines, doesn't she?(!) Of course, I do love it, even if it is a bit mermaid-esque.

Rihanna definitely looked as tho the black material had crept up her legs and covered her like Venom from Spiderman. Considering how simple the dress itself was, she wore it beautifully.

 

There were many, many more looks around, but I'm gonna finish with my personal fave - Katy Perry.

I've always thought she had a very distinctive style - very 50's with added colour. In her red carpet look I really felt like she gave us something new, and yet with a coy or demure elegance to it. And dyeing her hair to match was literally the icing on the cake.



So... who was your fave?

Anyone who knows be but at all, knows that I have a particular fondness for sleeveless tops on men. I just think they look damn awesome and there are by no means enough of them around.

 So, I was thrilled when I stumbled across the Christian LaCroix spring/summer 2012 collection.

The first little number I found irresistible was a leather-looking piece with an intricate pattern and corset style lace-up back.

















There was also a jacket in a similar style (below) which I was equally pining over.


Another notable piece here was somewhere between a suit jacket and a waistcoat - I'm gonna call it a suit waistjacket. And I think I want one.

 Next up on my list of faves was this little old-school LaCroix gem. A denim sleeveless with plenty of... personality!!

















As you can imagine, at this point I was pretty much foaming at the mouth... but wait... there's more...
Yes, yet another suit waistjacket appeared, this time in a kind of eggshell or off-white colour - this seemed like they wanted to tone down the usual LaCroix glitz on the garment, so they relocated it to the model instead... in saying that, I can already picture guys this summer walking around with glittery cheeks, probably in an effort to blend this with Twilight!! But as for the fashion in question, I quite like it - maybe even a little more than the black alternative and I think a good number to end the show on.
