54th Annual Grammy Awards: Red Carpet Hits And Misses

A different set of rules apply to Grammy Awards red carpet fashion. Rockin' sometimes trumps elegance. Weirdness rules. And even the guys are willing to take chances they might not dare to attempt at the Oscars. But as is true of any red carpet, some people manage to work it better than others.

Electronic music producer Skrillex arrived in an all black, punk ensemble consisting of a leather motorcycle jacket and oversized glasses. Prescription? Probably not, but he clearly thinks they make him look cool. Good thing his songs are hits, because this outfit definitely is not.

Venezuelan band La Vida Boheme may not be well-known in the United States, but they certainly made an eye-catching appearance on the Grammy red carpet. The guys opted for all-white outfits covered in multi-colored spray paint. Not only is it all over their clothes, but the paint covers most of the band members' faces as well.

Country singer and songwriter Alison Krauss is incredibly talented, but this dress definitely missed the mark. Although her hair and makeup look beautiful, the white crochet overlay on her dress is both unflattering and matronly. She also could've used a few more accessories to complete her outfit.

Comedian Kathy Griffin looked nothing short of fantastic on the red carpet. Her cream one-shoulder gown is completely age-appropriate, yet still sexy. It flatters her tiny frame without being too revealing and the chunky gold accessories add just enough glam to her look. Major fashion win for Griffin.

Jersey Shore star Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi rocked her typical "guidette" look with high hair and a barely there mini-dress. The zebra print on her black mini and the bow on her head not only clash, but also look a little ridiculous. It's safe to say she will probably end up on many of the Grammy Awards worst-dressed lists.

Nominee Adele showed off a new do and slimmer figure in a striking black beaded gown. The songstress is donning her signature red lips and long lashes, which only compliment her beautiful features.
