• "Katy Perry’s haute couture Valentino dress was literally ripped from the runway, just being previewed at the latest show. I thought it was whimsical, unique, and it seemed to convey her personality without being way over the top. I loved the light color
• "Paula Patton. Now, a lot of people didn’t get this dress but I totally did. Nicholas Jebran is this amazing emerging couture designer and it was a race this season for stylists to get his pieces. Each of his pieces have a great attention to detail and un
• "Kacey Musgraves. Well, what can you say really? Both looks she wore were awful. The first, on the red carpet, washed her out completely, the dress literally seemed to eat her. The second performance look, wow, looked like Hobby Lobby exploded all over he
• "Chrissy Teigen was dipped in gold in a beautiful Johanna Johnson gown. A perfect example of a star working the hell out of a dress! Loved the clean neckline, minimal jewelry, and the belted bodice. 10’s across the board! John Legend dazzled in a Gucci ta
• "I really loved Daft Punk's look together. The crisp tuxedos in a modern fit, mixed with those sparkly shoes was on another level. I love their masks and metallic gloves against the soft fabric, really interesting dynamic." Photo: WireImage
• "Ciara looked like perfection in Emilio Pucci! The fabric choice was amazing with this one. Whenever you have a pregnant client it can be tricky but I loved the fit; it hugged her in all the right places. The color tone was spot on as well and looked gorg

• "I thought Taylor Swift looked amazing in this Gucci gown. It was a brilliant silhouette that played to her strengths. The chain mail style dress with the subtle structure underneath provided skin but in a luxurious kind of way. She looked like a true sta
• "Paris Hilton reminded me of a drag queen tribute to Jennifer Lopez. It was so tacky. The sheer panels mixed with that awful fabric was just too hideous. Let’s not pretend she ever wowed us with amazing clothing choices, so let’s move on." Photo: WireImag
• "Not so grand in Ariana Grande. The dress is cute, just not for the Grammys. I also would not have put those atrocious tights and shoes with it! The whole look was very Toddlers & Tiaras. I want to imagine she had a stage mother in the back yelling “SMILE
• "Cara Quincy's whole look reminded me of the Bride of Frankenstein, I hope no villagers are chasing her with fire at the after party! Her entire look was just freaky and weird, frankly it was all garbage. The dress had cut outs near her chest, in the back
• "I love you Cee Lo, but that silk caftan was not cool at all. The fabric choice was really the nightmare; that see through silk! I would have sought a designer like Roberto Cavalli to make him a caftan in one of his signature prints with a flowing pant. I
