Grammy Awards 2012: Who Wore What? Taylor Swift in Zuhair Murad Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2011

Taylor Swift in Zuhair Murad Fall/Winter Haute Couture 2011: LOVE LOVE LOVE this gown! So far one of my favorite looks of the night! The gown is from Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad and from his Haute Couture collection from last season. It's gold applique and embroidery over iridescent silk organza and features mini cap sleeves and a Mandarin-style collar: so elegant, Grecian Goddess GORGEOUS! Also, are my eyes deceiving me or does it look like the shoulders were "brought in" slightly for Taylor? On the model, the shoulder width appears wider (sorry, my "designer-talk"!).

It's A LOT of gown for the Grammys and one might argue--more Academy Awards or Cannes Film Festival-appropriate, but...well the Grammys ARE the "Acedemy Awards" for music, so why not?? She said she saw this gown months ago, but was saving it for a big night like the Grammys. Good for you huney--a good rule of thumb is not to waste a $100,000+ gown! What do y'all think??? Let me know below...

Red Carpet Report: 2011 Teen Choice Awards--Demi, Selena and Taylor...

Actual Teens at the Teen Choice 2011



Last night was the Teen Choice 2011, held at the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City. So naturally, it's time for my "Nick V. Red Carpet Report". First up, ACTUAL TEENS at the Teen Choice 2011:



Demi Lovato in BCBG Max Azria: There was a bit of a trend--with several actresses last night--of wearing dresses with extra "trails", as I call them. And Demi Lovato's mustard yellow-and-nude BCBG by Max Azria was one example of this. I'm still deciding whether I would have chopped the asymmetry from the dress or just left it. She does look pretty. Nice tan Demi. She looks as if she just got back from Capri! The hair though, well, it's a bit overwhelming: She's a can of Aqua Net away from Snooki/Quinceañera territory. Overall it is a very pretty, pulled together look from head to toe.



Selena Gomez in Erin Fetherston Fall 2011: See what I told you about the trend of having extra "trails" in your dress hanging down...Here it is on the beautiful Selena Gomez aka Mrs. Bieber. Because she is so adorably cute, the style of the dress comes off a bit Pageant-esque (as opposed to the photo of the model who looks more Grecian-Diva) but I love the mix of accessories.



Selena's strappy violet-colored shoes with raw-cut rosette detail are very cute. Not DIVA cute, just cute-cute.



Taylor Swift in Rafael Cennamo: Taylor is vibing a "Marilyn Monroe Moment" in this halter-style flared dress with crystal-studded waist from NY-based designer Rafael Cennamo. Just kinda boring. Nothing to exciting. Very "Nordstrom Dress Department". It is age appropriate and I'll give her that! I LOVE the hair and the make-up but then again, it's Taylor Swift so she could do pretty much anything.
