The Weekend Fashion Report 65th Grammy Awards

With Karin Herig and Cara Hunt

HIT Cardi B

Karin says: “I’m not usually a fan of Cardi’s red carpet fashions, but I absolutely love this! The royal blue looks amazing on her, but it’s the unique kinetic structure of this dress that makes this special. It’s like a piece of wearable art.”

Cara says: “Girl, come through with this look! First of all, you already know that blue is my colour, and it’s just so dramatic and makes such a fashion statement without being ridiculous. Best I’ve seen her look yet.”

HIT Lizzo

Karin says: “This hue of orange his perfect for Lizzo. The actual dress is not that special, and I’m not crazy about the silver piping on the corset top, but what makes this ensemble is the amazing coat. It’s just so dramatic and fabulous like the artist herself.”

Cara says: “I love the colour and the drama and the sheer Old Hollywood-ness of this look. But to be honest, I’m also feeling the cape with the rosettes a bit more than the dress. But it’s still a big hit for me.”

Fail

Shania Twain

Karin says: “Something weird has been going on with Shania in recent years, so this strange clown ensemble is no surprise. It’s still terrible though. She looks like a demented black and white cow that has escaped its pasture. The red dye job (please let it be a wig), is also a no-go.”

Cara says: “OK, what am I supposed to say when I look at this cow-meets-clownmeets-traffic-cone disaster. Please fire all your people who actually allowed you to be seen in public this disaster. Girl, they don’t love you.”

HIT Taylor Swift

Karin says: “I know people online said this is another basic look for her, but I still love it. She’s showing skin, but still looks classy. And that deep blue with the rhinestones is stunning on her. Her makeup, as always, is on point, as is her jewellery. This is a resounding success.”

Cara says: “This is Taylor’s go-to award look and I’m always here for it. It’s simple, flirty and still a bit sexy. I love it, but I usually always love her outfits, so I’m maybe a bit biased. However, that shade of blue is everything.”

FAIL Mary J Blige

Karin says: “Oh, Mary, no. Let’s start with the fried looking platinum hair… it’s so unflattering. Then the dress…sigh. It’s just a mess. Why did she think those hip cut-outs were a good idea? The giant hoop earrings and sorta matching boots are just the cherry on top of the ugly cake.”

Cara says: “This is a clear ‘no’ for me. I am so over the cheap metallic dresses that we have been seeing all over the red carpet this awards season. They just look tacky. Mary, what are those hot mess shoes on your feet? Ma’am, I know you can do better.”
