2011 Grammys: Red Carpet
The Grammys is the most action-packed, performance-filled award show of the season.
Muse was one of the best performances of the night:
These divas killed it during their tribute to Aretha Franklin:
Note 1: Martina McBride's stunning gown.
Note 2: You do not need not wear musical notes to a musical award show.
Here it is, folks - the Best and the Worst.
(Best Of)
Love it:
Work it:
Gorgeous:
The group ensembles really pulled it out this year:
Well, maybe just the right-hand side of this group:
Stylin':
Even Gaga looked pretty good:
Once she got out of her shell . . .
Wait . . . okay, I will understand if you disown me for the terrible joke.
(Worst Of)
You make me feel like I'm livin' a "couture" nightmare:

Love It or Hate It?
Pink + Red? I almost didn't even notice that the shoes were such a contrasting color . . . Love it.
Except the shoes are hideous and the pink number is a jumpsuit (with extremely high slits) . . . Hate it.
