RiRi's fash at the 2013 Grammys

I'm not a huge award show fan. Last night however, I watched a majority of the 2013 Grammy Awards. I loved seeing Justin Timberlake preform and the tribute to Bob Marley by Sting, Bruno Mars, Rihanna, and Ziggy Marley. I also liked seeing Price, as he presented the award for Grammy of the Year. The only way to describe him is " he is such a cool dude".

So anyway, I have been obsessing over the Azzedine Alaïa dress Rihanna wore during her performance of the song, "Stay" with Louisiana singer/songwriter/producer Mikky Ekko. The simple scoop neck and length mirrored that of a tank dress, but material and cut gave it that Hollywood glamour. It was not just form fitting, but beautifully flattering. Tunisian-born Paris-based Alaïa, has had a rack of celbs rocking his designs recently including Alicia Keys at the Super Bowl for her National Anthem performance. Rihanna's hot red dress was also byAlaïa which she sported to and during the same show.

Rihanna kept her look classic for both looks, sporting both red lips and nails. During her performance she pared the black gown with a Neil Lane diamond necklace and a simple crystal bangle.

Let's get real, this girl would still look amazeballs wearing a garbage bag!

I thought the black dress was fitting for such a deep emotional song. If you missed the performance, check it out below.

 

 

 

 I love seeing celebs rock sophisticated styles like these as opposed to blue hair and trashy dresses.

 

I'm keeping my eyes out for a copy cat black gown! If you see any, be sure to let me know!

Cheap or Chic? Fashion Star edition

Sometimes you see something and you have to do a double take....in this case on the price tag.

and here is the second look....

Can you spot which has the larger price tag?

The first is FOREVER 21 and has a price tag of $17.80

and the second was on NBC's Fashion Star show and was designed by Orly. There was a bidding war between Macy's and Sacks, but with the bid of $120,000 it is now sold at

Sacks Fifth Ave for $295

I was highly disappointed with the way the dress from Orly was changed. The runway version looked a lot better...I honestly was ready to shell out the money for the design, however the final product looks less appealing than the cheap Forever 21 dress!

Here was the original....I loved the color, length, and the pocket detailing! I do not understand why they changed the look so much and also why did not offer in the other colors shown on the runway.

Watch Fashion Star Tuesday nights at 10 pm EST on NBC.
