57th GRAMMYs - Red Carpet Review (Najeary Bennett)

The most anticipated event for some of our favorite recording artists, record labels, music lovers and fans all over the word, along with the critics finally came - The 57th Annual Grammy Awards held in Los Angeles last night. We all know events like The Grammys is definitely fun to watch while staying in tuned with Twitter, so as a ritual I logged into my account 30min before the Red Carpet event started. 

E annual Red Carpet segment is a must watch for fashion enthusiasts and even mere fans. This is major and whether you are 'into fashion' or not, you will be scrutinized and honey, we will have so many memes, gifs and endless funny tweets to revisit after the event if you ever look a mess. 

I really had to pray for Giuliana Ransic from "Fashion Police" oh the irony - yes my friend, twitter sure had a fun day with her outfit. Can't say I am shocked, I was never a fan of her personal style. Now this might sound a little bitter (sorry not sorry) but, I honestly don't think Guiliana should to be a fashion critic; no sense of style and that's just my opinion. I will be nice to add nonetheless that I am happy for her being a breast cancer survivor *cues Destiny's Child song* but, I think its time for her to get a bucket of chicken and hire a personal stylist  - a very honest one at that.

The entire show seemed to have been all over the place, and as much as I do understand that music has many different genres I really don't think the show had a theme or was even properly segmented. I personally thought we could have been speared a few of those performances.

While I really can't say I was 'slayed' by any particular Red Carpet look, I must say there were a few looks that had us talking on twitter.

In no particualar order, here are some of the most talked about Red Carpet looks at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards.

Yours truly,

Get to Know Trish From TK Raffine | Ocho Rios #Jamaica

Now for many people who  live in Jamaica, Fashion only exists in Kingston but for the rest of us who make up the general consensus we know for a fact that Kingston only makes up a small portion of the fashionable Islands fashion demographic. It has been predicted that in the  next ten years Jamaica will become a solid member of the worlds Fashion Capitals, over the past five years Jamaica has given birth to many local designers including shoe makers designing original designs that are doing quite well overseas.

Little is much, period!   Trendy is the last stage before tacky - Karl Lagerfeld (Chanel/FENDI)

In effort to be so "on point & trendy" a lot of folks have lost their individual sense of style and have become what I would call fashion-puppets.
