Grammys Best Dressed: Alicia Keys

It was a little difficult to name Alicia Keys one who was "Best Dressed" when first we saw her on the Red Carpet. Naturally, the award-winning singer and song writer got points simply because she's gorgeous. Additionally, her makeup, except for the day-glo pink lipstick, was pretty well done, too, but when did Mr. T start styling red carpet hair?!?!

Loved the high neckline on the navy gown, and the cutaway showed off Alicia's fiercely sexy shoulders, but for some reason, the dress looked almost too much like a wedding dress that was dyed to get some more mileage out of it.

We sort of wrote Alicia off after her arrival.

However. Oh, how. Ev. Er.

Alicia in her stage dress was a big winner. I loved the emerald green, which worked so much better with the neon pink lips, and the racy neckline made the mohawk actually seem cool. No one could have pulled that off better. No one.

(Sorry, we had to.)

For the Stella McCartney show, both ladies opted for black and white ensembles. Salma, who we spotted last week at the Balenciaga show, went for a predominantly cream outfit, which she punctuated with black ankle-strap heels and a snakeskin clutch. Alicia outfitted another take on this chic color combo, selecting a figure-flattering black and white Stella McCartney body-con dress.

I think the open circle in the middle was too much.
the dress was a little odd shaped to me.

But shes amazing!

I think she wasn't at all inspired when having done her hair like that.
Even so, I'm still looking for someone to tell me what clutch she's wearing there
