Grammy Awards 2012: Who Wore What? Rihanna in Custom Giorgio Armani

Rihanna in Custom Giorgio Armani: Again, another "Custom Giorgio Armani"--but in completely different direction than what I last commented on in my Adele post. With Adele, he went "Retro Vintage 60's Demure", but with Rihanna, it's Halston-Meets-Studio 54 Sex! I guess, depending on the Star, Armani and his team will create anything for you!

When asked about the gown--which was a black plunging neckline halter style with a deep back and center-front slit--Rihanna said that she helped Armani design this and that it was a "collaboration". Let me get this right, Rihanna HELPED Armani design? Didn't know Mr. Armani needed help in that department...but regardless who did what, it was very sexy, simple and Farah Fawcett HOT--even her hairstyle vibed 70's chic. What did you guys think? Let me know 'cause I will be reading your comments!

68th Annual Golden Globe Awards Fashion: Who Wore What? Nicole Kidman in Custom Prada

Custom seems to be the "new" Couture. It's no longer fine to wear the runway sample on a Made-to-measure Haute Couture Gown from the French and Italian Fashion Houses.. No kids, seems that actresses and their stylists now turn to non-Haute Couture Houses (Calvin Klein, Prada, etc.) and get their gowns custom made.

In other words, you won't find this style in any Look Book. Also, a lot of these design companies, of course, are offering custom designs to these A-List clients GRATIS, in exchange for the press and that Red Carpet Moment. And so we have Exhibit A: Statuesque actress Nicole Kidman in ivory all-over sequin paillette one-shoulder Custom Prada gown. Prada doesn't do gowns. But for Nicole: Si!
