The red carpet, glamorous fashion, and the hottest music artists can mean only one thing: The Grammy Awards. Last Sunday, the Staples Center in Los Angeles held the 55th Annual Grammy Awards, hosted by LL Cool J.
FASHION SPOTLIGHT
The red carpet was filled with the hottest music artists, all glammed out in gorgeous designer gowns, suits, shoes and jewelry. Here are the top five best dressed.
Rihanna won the best dressed celeb at the Grammys in a custom red Azzedine Alaia and Neil Lane jewelry.
