Fashion at the Grammys, 2017
We call it “fashion.” But at this point it seems to have morphed into a competition to see who can come up with an outfit that is either strangest and most extreme, or most revealing. Preferably both at the same time, actually. But “strangest” seems to be more important.
Here’s an example of what you can do with some items you have around the house, if you’re creative enough. Get a handy roll of electrical tape, and pull on a pair of leggings. Voila!
Guy next to her originally had Napolean’s haircut. But he let it grow for a few months and hasn’t gone back for a trim.
This next was a popular lampshade look in Victorian times:
I know that this next one has something to do with outer space. And maybe cartoons. And I also know it’s unflattering in cut, color, and material. What’s up with all this deep lavender? And the ruffled epaulettes?:
Now, if you crossed an Oscar statuette with a stegosaurus I think you might get what Beyonce’s sister Solange wore:
I did not recognize this person, although she’s actually one of the few celebrities at the Grammys who is familiar to me. Katy Perry now has lost her signature dark-hair-blue-eyes look, and seems to have gotten a bit thinner, too. She’s turned into a sort of more-slender, dark-rooted, kohl-eyed, space-age, blank-staring Catherine Deneuve wannabe (on top) and one of these gizmos on the bottom:
This outfit of Lady Gaga’s seems to illustrate a nightmare more than anything—you know, the one where you’ve gone out in public missing an important item of clothing. I am not sure how this stays put (or even if it does stay put). But I am quite sure the sunglasses add a necessary touch:
This next one is rather nice. It’s almost very nice. It’s not strange, and it’s not revealing, and Adele is probably hard to dress although she always looks well-turned-out. The problem is the hue. Now, someone with her coloring can wear green much better than a lot of other people. But no one can wear this shade of green well. No one. It is an especially unfortunate shade of olive:
Speaking of green—and we were speaking of it—this is a whole nother ballgame in terms of green. But it’s still unfortunate. Celine Dion looks like a cast member who left the Wizard of Oz set and has been wandering around for decades, during which strategic parts of her dress were ripped out or worn away:
There were many many more—some even more astounding than the ones I’ve showed you. But I’ll close with what may have been the boldest look of all, from Joy Villa. She came on looking like she was in some sort of religious pageant:
Then she dramatically whipped off her white robe to reveal…
…this dress:
Now, that’s daring. Villa got a lot of attention for it on Twitter, both positive and negative. Here’s an explanation from the designer, who is a naturalized US citizen from the Philippines. When I first saw the dress, I assumed it was an ironic statement. It wasn’t.
Neo: a fun post! Enjoyed your comments. Joy Villa and her designer-brilliant!
“When we said non-conformism was one of our core values, we didn’t mean non-conformism against our group!” – the Left. Joy Villa’s like that guy from the Life of Brian scene who, after everybody else in the crowd mindlessly intones “We’re all different,” says “I’m not!”

There’s an old joke:
A guard at a diamond mine sees a man leaving the mine with a wheelbarrow full of sand.
He combs through the sand and finds nothing.
This is repeated several times, over several days.
Years later, the two meet again, and the guard asks :
“What were you doing with all those wheelbarrows full of sand ?”
The other man says :
“I was stealing wheelbarrows”.
The moral is, if you don’t ant people to notice something, give them something else to look at.
I do not know those who in show how they thinks about the bizar dress they wear?
All in All just disgusting reflect their emptiness as they are just dummy use in a big lie of what it called cinemas, drama all those names.
These actors and singers are just selected they had in he back of each of them gangs who suck the money from these dummy actors.
BTW, only my respect goes to Adele probably
I dislike the plunging necklines that go down to the waist, but the look is even worse on women that are on the flat chested side. It just looks dreadful.
Celine and Adele choose unflattering dresses. The others look like they are dressed for Mardi Gras.
I have seen even more of the ‘fashions’ elsewhere, and the word grotesque describes many of them. Apparently, let your boobs hang out is the latest fad. Wasn’t this the style in France under one of the Louis kings? TACKY!
I suggested to someone that the dress Joy Villa wore represents far more courage than these celebrities who like to pat themselves on the back for speaking truth to power (a phrase that always makes me a bit nauseous) when they criticize Trump. She is speaking truth to power in the form of going against intense social pressure to hold a certain set of approved political beliefs.
Look at those heels on Lady Gaga. But having seen Lady Gaga in person, fairly up close, she is very, very petite (and quite pretty, too).
Vanderleun, thanks for the link. Saw the dress yesterday and wasn’t sure which way the dominoes would fall.
Comment on that thread that seems representative:
@Joy_Villa I’m not familiar with you. The Left is going to try & destroy you. So, I’m going to buy your work. You are worth getting to know.
