Honoring Whitney and the 2012 Grammys

Greetings Fashion Pad Readers,

Welcome back from the weekend lovers! I hope you guys had fun. I hit up a couple of events to keep me busy but I didn't overdue it and I finally got to the movies. Yay me!!! However, a shadow was cast over my weekend when I found out that the incomparable, Whitney Houston passed away! Let me tell you that I was beyond shocked and sadden by this awesome woman's passing. She was just 48 yo and leaves behind a mother, an 18 yo daughter, family, friends and millions of fans around the world. I ask God to bless her family and friends during this traumatic time in their lives. To honor Whitney, I've included one of my favorite performances from her. Her 1994 rendition of "I Have Nothing". This is my absolute favorite song from her. LOVES it!



 Just beautiful!!!

Last night, the 2012 Grammys took place at the Staples Center in LA. I was greatly disappointed with the fashions in general but Rihanna's look was my absolute favorite of the night. She stated that she was wearing a gown that she helped design with Armani. Get it bish!

Stunning!!!! This chick's bod is super bad.....hate her, lol.

Adele, who might I add won every freakin award she was nominated for, rocked a simple sparkling gown by Giorgio Armani. She brought the old Hollywood Glamour back with the sparkles, hair, and makeup. Congrats!

I also had to share this pic of the lovely Kelly Rowland. She looked so gorgeous! She was rocking Alberta Ferreti. I am not in love with this dress, but it looked really nice on her.

Jessie J rocked this traditional cut, but stunningly designed "mirrored" gown by Julien Macdonald. If you guys aren't familiar with this young lady....you MUST check her out. Her vocals are fabulous! The Brits are surely bringing it with the talent.

I loved the fact that Fergie was daring on the red carpet with this gorgeous lace dress by Jean Paul Gaultier. However, I think it would have been my fav look if she would have went went nude garments....and a bikini pantie....not the granny panties she had on above.

So....which look was your fav of the night? Also, how did you all feel about the Whitney Houston tribute? Honestly, I think they could have done sooooo much more. Folks on Twitter were making excuses saying that it was less than 24 hours from Whitney's passing and they didn't have time. Ummm....I'm sorry, this is what they do, get shows together and you know that entails making drastic changes at the last minute. They had to do it for Rihanna and Chris Brown when they found out they wouldn't be performing. They could have cut back Nicki Minaj's performance (don't even get me started), they could have had Sir Paul McCartney perform only once, etc. I would have been ecstatic to see images of Whitney across a screen with her performing at a past Grammy show. I guess we'll have to wait for the BET Awards for a proper send off.
