Katy Perry in Zuhair Murad at the Grammys: splashy or exhausted?

Katy Perry

Katy Perry must have left all her creative juices on the football field because the Grammys were an obvious afterthought. Not that I blame her. Katy’s in the middle of a world tour and must be exhausted. Her styling team could have worked a little harder. Last year, Katy brought the drama in a Valentino musical concept dress. This year’s selection was a fringey, uninspired Zuhair Murad cocktail dress. I think she was going for sparkle-pow impact, but the dress aged her substantially and looked bizarre next to her youthful purple locks. The dress was backless, which didn’t add to its nonexistent appeal. Better luck next year.

Kaiser already discussed Katy’s performance with a lead-in from DV survivor Brooke Axtell. Katy wore Solange Knowles’ caped wedding gown.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend were the cutest couple at this event. Chrissy’s white Gucci dress felt a little more CMAs than Grammys, but she pulled off the dress with her figure. Cutouts are a little too trendy right now. John looked adorable in Dolce & Gabbana.

Meghan Trainor was a mess in this Galia Lahav gown. I didn’t mind the sheer “leafy” sleeves, but the overlay skirt was too much. This looked more like a witchy Halloween costume than an award show dress.

Zendaya usually brings the funky attitude onto the red carpet. This Vivienne Westwood dress didn’t fare too well. The fabric was wrinkly. The cut was lazy. Z’s sandals looked like they fell out of a beach bag, and her wig was too wiggy.

    Katy is naked under that, right? I’m over purple hair. Almost as much as I am over Pharrell and Happy.

  2. Dani2 says:

    Katy looks okay, not the best, but decent. I still find it funny/sad that Katy has been nominated 13 times for a Grammy but still hasn’t won once.

    Meghan Trainor annoys me so much, I can’t explain why.

    • Rachel says:

      I think Katy looks very pretty. Definitely not the OMG look at me style she usually goes for. Which is probably why I like it.

    • G0tch4 says:

      If I have to hear that Meghan song one more time there will be blood. Seriously.

    • Ceree says:

      I’m not so much sad as I am pleased. 😀 I just know she’d be even more smug than she is now so thank goodness for that.

    I Loved Zendaya from the Neck Up if this was a haircut I woulda YAAASSSSed her to death Except I would Scrolled down and seen her Legendarily TERRIBLE fashion sense and woulda been like : Girl Wheeet??

    Katy Perry Makes me die Salted Slug deaths every time I see her But I cackled at the basicness of it all

  4. I thought Chrissy was really beautiful until I saw her on some New Year’s Eve Countdown show last year……she looks very gerbil-y in real life.

  5. PunkyMomma says:

    Katy’s dress did age her – and the style is a few years old. The purple hair rocks, though.

    Zendaya’s dress looked fabulous from some angles, but on second viewing, I think it needed to be fitted more. She’s gorgeous.

  6. Kiddo says:

    Oh, Katy, I feel so empowered, my face is melting.

    Zendaya’s dress werks, sorry, she looks great. Not sure anyone else could pull it off quite like that.

    • ElasticBean says:

      I agree, Zendaya smashed it!
      And I love the look on her face like “Yeah I’m killing this, what now?!”.

  7. Maria says:

    Not a good look for her….

    I do like her hair color so there’s that.

  8. boredblond says:

    Giving zenbdaya’s dress points for bringing some color, even though the dress didn’t stand up well. Katy looks like those icicle lights my neighbors hung for Christmas.

  9. scout says:

    Love the purple hair, hope she is wearing nude body suit underneath!

  10. Nina says:

    I don’t care how much it’s been done, I’m digging the hair.

  11. SpookySpooks says:

    Katy’s hair amd makeup are perfection, but tje dress is bad.
    Zendaya looks amazing.
    I have a soft spot for Meghan, but this looks bad.
    Chrissy is sooo annoying, I get annoyed just looking at her.

  12. JosieJ says:

    So over the purple hair.

  13. Dante says:

    She looks awful. And really, this is just a Britney recycle in dress form. She really needs to find her own style.

  14. Katie says:

    I like her look!

  15. Jayna says:

    On the red carpet interview, Katy’s hair looked fantastic on her. The gown ages her somewhat but live on the carpet it was prettier because it was so shimmery.

  16. OriginallyBlue says:

    I don’t like Zendaya’s hair style, but her dress is nice.
