Hot Mama Daily Finds More Grammy Fashion Faux Pas’

Estelle won a Grammy for “American Boy,” her catchy collaboration with hip-hop honcho Kanye West. Unfortunately, that’s where her winning streak ended on Grammy night. The Brit singer looks like Judy Jetson in this space age, silver getup. Worn with another outfit, perhaps the metallic, peep toe booties would have worked. But as is, this ensemble is just wrong.
R&B siren Keyshia Cole is wearing a sheer tunic, and see-through clothing is one of the spring’s hottest trends. Just because it’s a trend, however, doesn’t make it attractive. No one wants to see your underwear through your dress, so I’d leave sheer clothing where it belongs. Back in the ’80s.
Actress Paula Patton is married to singer Robin Thicke and they seem like a loving couple (then again I thought Rihanna and Chris Brown were a perfect match, so my couple-dar may be a bit off). And pretty Paula seems like a real sweetheart. That said, I have to go for the fashion jugular here. In this matronly dress, she looks like she’s either auditioning for a new version of “Hee Haw” or going to her senior prom circa 1988.
When I saw Natalie Cole on TV last night, I thought she looked amazing. When I look at her cleavage-baring dress up close in this photo, however, I’m not so sure. While Cole’s hair and makeup are flawless and the dress incorporates several spring trends– one-shouldered, bohemian chic, vibrant yellow color, chunky chain jewelry — it sort of looks like she’s been restrained in a gown that someone spilled mustard on.
Maybe I’m just being a mean girl. What do you think of these Grammy outfits? Are they hot or hot messes?

I think your fashion review of the Grammy’s is right on and hilarious. I was cracking up and I agree w/ those who you said didn’t win you over. Although I though Natalie looked fabulous as well, I’m still not sure how I feel about that dress. But I think most probably weren’t paying attention to it anyway w/ all that cleavage. I only pray I look that good when I’m her age. But I’m dissappointed in Keisha Cole cause she just consistenly misses and she has such a great figure. And Robin Thicke’s wife normally is on point but I don’t know what happened w/ that choice. There were very, very few outfits that made you oooh and aaah this year. The men clearly beat the women b/c I saw some celeb men that really stepped it up and looked great this year. Young Jeezy was one if I recall correctly.
Thanks Eame! I’m glad you enjoyed my post. I know, what happened to the fashion this year? And Natalie is definitely reppin’ for women of a certain age.
I have to agree with all your opinions on these faux pas! Estelle’s dress looks like a DIY. Why won’t people leave something to the imagination re: their decolletage? Less is more!
