2010 Grammy Awards Celebrity Fashion

One of the most expected events, the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards took place at the Staples Center on January 31 in LA, California. Hence, a new gala, a new reason of joy for us…Any event of the kind is a great occasion for celebrities to measure up their fashion styles, hairdos and attitudes. Check out the best celebrity fashion outfits from the 2010 Grammy Awards!

The 2010 Grammy Awards have unleashed yet again havoc among celebrities, entering the battle for the best red carpet appearance.
Let’s see who did best on the red carpet of the 2010 Grammy Awards and who should look for a new stylist! Here are the most memorable appearances!

Beyonce wore three couture outfits at the 2010 Grammy Awards. She stepped on the red carpet wearing a couture gown, signed Stéphane Rolland that she accessorized with Casadei pumps and Lorraine Schwartz bling.
For her performance, Beyonce rocked the stage wearing an Atelier Versace black leather mini dress and matching embellished cut-out booties; while in the audience the Giorgio Armani Prive chain metal silver and gold, Swarovski-encrusted dress looked stunning paired with the Ruthie Davis golden platform sandals.

For the 2010 Grammy Awards, Lady Gaga’s outfits were custom-made by Giorgio Armani Prive and she didn’t disapoint. Lady Gaga turned heads as she arrived wearing the space orbit-theme dress holding a spiky sparkle-like accessory, towering embellished platforms and wearing a bright yellow and blonde wig.
Gaga’s stage outfit and the ensemble she wore for the press room were just as dramatic and outrageous as her red carpet gown.

Rihanna walked the 2010 Grammys red carpet wearing a with high neck couture Elie Saab gown, featuring an open back and stone and feather details on the bodice that she accessorized with Neil Lane and Diamond in the Rough jewelry.

Katy Perry arrived to the 2010 Grammys wearing a backless, nude Zac Posen gown, with golden floral sequin details and a Judith Leiber Elephant crystal clutch.
Carrie Underwood also made a fabulous appearance on the red carpet wearing Georges Chakra and a Swarovski crystal clutch.

Another favorite from the Grammy Awards is Jennifer Hudson wearing a Victoria Beckham design from her Spring 2010 collection. She paired the Victoria Beckham peplum dress with black Yves Saint Laurent Trib Two platform pumps.

And the worst red carpet appearance goes to pop legend Britney Spears. She arrived wearing a black long-sleeve lace dress and body suit underneath by Dolce & Gabbana and Christian Louboutin studded Pigalle pumps. Nice shoes, though!

As you all know, my cousin D is having a baby and a couple of weeks ago, I helped throw a baby shower for her. We decided to have the shower at the Chado Tea Room in Pasadena, CA. The staff at Chado Tea Room were great. So friendly and helpful. Here are a few pics from the shower.

Chado has over 300 varieties of tea. We were lucky enough to try quite a few flavours including White Champagne Raspberry, Chocolate Mint and Ginger Peach. Some of us even bought some to take home!

Remember the baby graphic the BF’s partner whipped up for the invitations? Well, I also incorporated it into the favours and the ’shower game kits.’

I bought the favour circle stickers from Michael’s. They came with a printing template which made printing super easy. The ribbon is also from Michael’s.

The ’shower game kit’ was an envelope that came with three games: 1) Baby Scramble (i.e. Jumble with baby words); 2) Dirty Diaper (more on that later); and 3) TV Kids Trivia.

How cute is this floral centrepiece? Love the glass baby block vase. We had two of these at the table.

The afternoon tea menu at Chado is delicious! Sandwiches included smoked chicken with cranberry sauce, cucumber with cream cheese and green onions, and smoked salmon. Each tea rack came with freshly baked scones with fresh cream, fresh berries and jams. Since we had ordered a cake from Vanilla Bake Shop for D, we decided to skip Chado’s usual slice of cake and opted for chocolate dipped strawberries.

After gorging ourselves on the yummy food, we opened up the ’shower game kit’ and got started on the games. The ‘Baby Scramble’ and ‘TV Kids Trivia’ were pretty straightforward. ‘Dirty Diaper’ was probably the most disgusting yet fun game. The night before the shower, the BF and I bought a handful of chocolate bars and melted them in diapers. Yep, super gross. At the shower, each diaper were passed around and the guests had to guess what chocolate bar was melted in the diaper.

After the games, the Vanilla Lemon Berry cake from Vanilla Bake Shop was brought out. All I can say is the cake was 9 inches round of pure heaven.

D elected not to open gifts at the shower since we really didn’t have the space and D didn’t want to subject her guests to an endless barrage of onesies.

However, I had to share a pic of one of the adorable gifts she received. One of D’s friend made her this amazing onesies/socks/shoes tiered ‘cake’ as a gift. Cute non?

D and her guests had such a great time. I highly recommend Chado Tea Room for any type of shower or maybe for a ‘ladies’ luncheon.’

Do you heart afternoon/high tea as much I do?
