Pre-Grammy Awards: The Nominees & How Celeb Style Sized Up?

All is fair in love and the Grammy Awards…at least at the pre-Grammy celebrity nominee celebration.  Fashion was on, but things were looking a bit cookie cutter.  Where’s the color girls?  This is the pre-Grammy party.  Sometimes celebrities overdress at some functions and dare not take a fashion chance, when we expect them to.  By the way, the lack of pantyhose is shocking (See what I’m talking about here!)

Anyhow, without any more chit-chat…

Garbrielle Union: Whoop-pahh! She looks whippin’ hot in black!

I have Gabrielle Union on the top because she knows the value of a good pair of pantyhose!  Go Gabby!

India.Arie looks pretty, but understated for a glamorous event.

Singer Keri Hilson rocks in gold and glitter.

Love that color?: Rihanna beams, Katy Perry smiles and Taylor Swift and Fergie strike the pose as they all have similar colors in their dresses. Well, Rihanna has a dab of pale pink and blue…just a dab.

Not surprisingly, Carrie Underwood joined the silver-spangled banner of singers donning iced colored dresses.

Jennifer Hudson

Poppin’ In Purple:  Jennifer Hudson rocks a simple leather dress and shows off her post-baby figure.  Lookin’ good, Jen.

Ke$ha

Ke$ha goes black.  Not bad.

Mary J. Blige

Did Mary J. Blige do the silver shuffle, too?  Yes, she did, but it looks as if she was trying to add in a little touch of pink, like Rihanna did.

By the way, here’s a person after my own heart…

That’s right, Katy Perry and Russel Brand.  Don’t listen to me, listen to what this reader has to say…

Brand and Perry are rude to make fun of Rihanna’s dress. Bad mannered.
