We are joined in studio by Hallie Abrams, the wardrobe consultant. Hallie, thanks so much for being here this morning.
Thanks for having me.
So we always like to start with best dressed. Because I start to see those pictures pop up. Like, who do you think was best dressed last night?
I think Dua Lipa.
Yeah.
I missed what she was wearing. Yeah, it was a really cool Versace.
Oh, there she is. Yeah. Yes.
So I loved it. It had a little bit of that rock and roll bondage vibe, but with a lot of gold. You know, she piled on the jewelry, and that's what the Grammys are for. I mean, that's like, do anything, kind of.
And I'm seeing a lot of that, like, black with the gold accessories. That's still high trend. Still high trend. All right, so then we also have Cynthia Erivo.
I believe so. Okay. She goes. Yes, this is Cynthia Erivo.
Yes.
Wow. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. I mean, just metallic, but there was different texture there. And she's also covered. But then that high slit on the leg, it was just the right amount of skin.
Yeah.
I feel like everybody is doing the really high slits now. I'm trying to think, is that supposed to be for certain figures or, you know, like, who can pull that off? I think almost anybody could pull off a high slit. Because really, you're visually just creating this long, lean line on your leg. So is it supposed to elongate the legs? I love that. Exactly.
Let's get to Brandi Carlile. Cause she just. She went with the menswear trend.
Yeah. Love it. Yeah. It's a suit by Boss. And I read that the jacket itself weighed 40 pounds.
Oh, geez.
So can you imagine lugging that around all night? But it was pretty stunning.
Yeah. She's gonna need a massage today. And Mickey Guyton, too.
I liked that. I like the fringe. I like the ombre. And I just thought it was fun. And when she. And that picture's amazing. Cause you can, like, catch the movement.
Oh, there she is.
There she is.
She looks fun.
Look at her, too. And I loved also how her hair sort of corresponded. They braided in a metallic. And it just. It was stunning.
Let's get to the guys, too. We can't ignore the guys. Who do you think was best dressed for the guys category?
Well, I mean, bts, they were all in Louis Vuitton, so I thought it was really cool how they each had their own personality there. And the one guy had a bunch of flaws. Flowers. Like a flower brooch.
Yeah, you can see that.
So that was really cool.
They're looking good.
This is a little. I might not have told the producers, but I do think Lenny Kravitz was just gorgeous and spot on. He's always.
I mean, he is.
He is. I love watching the coolest person ever see who his designer was. Yeah. So it's a little bit of a. But it was just so him. Okay, really quickly, because we're running out of time here. We can talk about this all day. I know. All day. Let's talk about worst dress. This is my favorite part. I don't know why I'm alleging my cuz I feel sort of like a jerk when I say it.
No, we're all thinking it.
Was it Justin Bieber? I mean, I thought it just. It wasn't cool. It looked like he was like, honey, I shrunk the kids. It wasn't giving, you know? Yeah. Oh, Bambi. I don't think so. I mean, it was. He always likes to push the envelope, but I thought this one was just, I don't know, not a dress. It swallowed him. Yes.
Yeah, it swallowed him. I think Hayley looked.
She looked gorgeous.
She looked stunning. She was the first thing I noticed.
Yeah.
Now I'm surprised about this one. Carrie Underwood, you saw.
That's a me thing.
Okay.
Okay. Why? So I felt like it wasn't on tone for the Grammys. I felt like if it was the CMAs, it would be great. And when I saw that, it reminded me of Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Oh, I couldn't get that out of my mind. But in all honesty, this morning I Woke up and InStyle magazine said she was one of the best dressed. So it's all subjective, you know?
It really is. Halle, thank you so much. I love going through all of these photos, and we're gonna have much more with Halle online, too, because I feel like we barely scratched surface with all these award shows.
