Is it just us or are the Grammys getting better and better every year?  What a great show last night!  Our highlights:

•  In case anyone was wondering if Beyoncé & Jay-Z are slowing down now that they are parents, think again.  They confirmed that they are still the king & queen of the music industry.
•  We are so happy Lorde won Best Performance and Royals won Song of the Year – that was well deserved.
• Daft Punk won a bunch of awards and kept the show running on schedule because of their short/non-existent acceptance speeches.  (I (Emily) had to google what they looked like under those helmets.  Come on, admit it – I know some of you did too!  I have to say that I was expecting these guys to look a little tougher unmasked than they do – So I guess their helmets worked?!  Steve said if he was a rock star, this is how he would do it.)
• Pink’s performance was amazing.
• Macklemore & Ray Lewis stole the show with their emotional performance of Same Love.  Right after the song and to top it off, Queen Latifa proceeded to marry 33 gay and straight couples right there!  Well done Grammys.  We don’t know how you couldn’t have been moved by that emotional performance.  That song is incredibly powerful and we love him so much for taking a stand and writing it.  Every time we hear that song it moves us to tears. Even though we’ve got a long way to go, it makes us happy that we are moving in the right direction.  If you haven’t seen it.  Watch. It. Right. Now!

Now it’s time to discuss our favorite part of the night – The Red Carpet!!

Emily’s Top 3 Best DressedAnna Faris was my top pick hands down.  I know, at first glance you might think that it’s a little boring but take a closer look.  The dress brings out her eyes, her jewelry is the right shade of blue (love the finger chain bracelet), and her hair works so perfectly with this dress.  What can I say?  I am always a sucker for a clean, classic look.  Beyoncé looked sexy – what else is new?  Loved that she did the messy, natural hair and dark nails and lips to make the dress look less bridal.  Ok Colbie Caillat, I know you turned some heads you never turned before.  This is the first time she’s ever really shined on the red carpet and I was just really proud of her.  I wish her hair was a little more elegant but other than that all the other elements of the look were working in her favor.  When red is done right, it looks amazing and the dress was tailored to fit her perfectly.

Allison’s Top 3 Best DressedOh the Grammys!  I watched the whole things last night… it was long.  I definitely had to get up and dance for some of the performances!  But before the performances, there was the Red Carpet.  So let’s get to my Top 3.  I just loved Tswift’s sparkly, diamondy chainmail dress.  Only someone super tall and super skinny could wear that dress.  It fit her perfectly!  Now, I was not a fan of her head banging and hair flipping during her performance.  Katy Perry in this Valentino dress!!  What I love about it was that this was straight off the runway and someone didn’t make it for her.  It is so perfect for the Grammys and I am so happy she rocked it.  Princess of Music.  And now for Queen B.  Sexy mama.  This sexy number hugs her in alllll the right places. Right, Jay?  This dress is a perfect example of how you can work a sheer number and still be elegant!  I also loved that she went with her natural hair length and didn’t have extensions!  Perfect.

Caroline’s Top 3 Best Dressed 

It hurts me just a little bit to give the #1 Best Dressed Award to Taylor Swift because she just really grinds my gears (for reasons like that head banging during last night’s performance). But, the award is for who looked the best not who I like the best. And I think she looks amazingly beautiful head to toe in this dress. Katy always gets creative with her outfits and this one is my favorite. It’s so whimsical and just so Katy. I wasn’t crazy about her hairstyle though; I would have liked a simple chignon better. And for the first time ever, I’m picking a BOY for my best dressed list. Macklemore looked so sleek in this suit, and that color looks so good on him. Oh and his performance last night brought me to tears.  Well, that wraps up my picks for the Best Dressed Grammy’s 2014. I cannot wait for the Oscars. Seriously, I’m getting impatient!
