TYLA: FASHION WITH A SENSE OF HUMOR

South African singer/songwriter Tyla turned up at Clive Davis’s pre-Grammy party in this highly unusual and fun outfit. She almost looks like a cave girl with big bones twisted into her skimpy loin cloth. She gets points for originality (everybody else seemed to wear see-through mesh) -hers must be a South African designer. Tyla, 22, wore a gown to the award show and she WON a Grammy for Best African Music Performance, so it’s likely we will be seeing lots more of this cutie.

TAYLOR SWIFT BANNED TRAVIS FROM THE GRAMMYS

The Grammys took place in Los Angeles Sunday night and nominee Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, was conspicuously absent. Here’s what we just found out: Travis was actually granted permission to take the night off from practice to attend music‘s biggest night as Taylor’s date, but SHE insisted he stay with his team and practice for the Super Bowl. Why? Taylor remembers that when Travis’ team, the KC Chiefs lost a game right after he was visiting her in South America where she was performing. Some fans blamed his poor game performance on being distracted by the trip. Taylor doesn’t want history to repeat herself and she doesn’t want to be blamed if Kansas City loses the Super Bowl next week. THAT’S why she and only she, insisted Travis not attend the Grammys. Smart girl!

MATTHEW PERRY COULD WIN A GRAMMY

Despite being in the entertainment industry for close to 40 years, the late Matthew Perry never won any of the big four awards – Oscar, Grammy, Emmy and Tony – but that’s about to change. As we previously revealed Matthew is to be acknowledged with an honorary Emmy – while that’s impressive, one of Matthew’s friends says he’d still want to WIN something. Now there’s a major behind the scenes push to get Matthew a posthumous Grammy for his audiobook recording of his memoir, Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing. My source says that Matthew is very likely to be included when the Grammy nominations are announced in November .

THE WEEKND: WHO NEEDS ANOTHER GRAMMY?

Cannot remember the last time we saw The Weeknd without bandages on his face! Was it March?The bandages have everything to do with his song Blinding Lights – which happens to be Billboard’s #1 Hot Song of 2020. He WAS disappointed that The Grammys ignored the song, but he soothed his troubles today by shopping on Rodeo Drive. He was with a cute young woman, but for SOME reason when they saw the paparazzi, she ran off and disappeared into a parking garage. Presumably they were reunited later…

PRIYANKA CHOPRA: FASHION TRAGEDY AT THE GRAMMYS

Gorgeous Priyanka Chopra (with husband Nick Jonas) rarely totally blows it when it comes to fashion, but she didn’t know how to dress for the festive Grammys. This looks like the same neckline Jennifer Lopez made famous in her green Versace at the Grammys years ago. But the neckline does NOTHING for Priyanka, and the rest of the drab and weirdly fringed dress makes the actress look oddly mature and out of style.

WATCH OUT, LADY GAGA, HERE COMES CARDI B!

Grammy night proved to be the best fashion night so far of the awards season. Lots of creative eccentric fabulous fashion and a minimum of those repetitious low cut gowns with high slits and a leg poking out. SOMEBODY had to be outrageous because Lady Gaga chose to be less shocking and more glam this year – so Cardi B took up the slack, and very nicely.

BEST DRESSED AT THE GRAMMYS: RIHANNA

It’s not just the same old glitzy low cut long dress with a slit – Rihanna is refreshing and original in her two piece Armani. The crystal tangerine top shows off her original tattoos and the bountiful silk organza skirt is both dramatic and comfortable. Of all the celebrity designers, Rihanna might be the smartest because she does functional active wear with Puma and that’s exactly where daywear is headed. She didn’t disappoint her fans.

KIM KARDASHIAN’S WARDROBE MALFUNCTION

Kim Kardashian’s choice of Grammy dresses cramped her style for the evening. The unflattering dress looks like a glitzy bathrobe held together by a belt. All that gaudy metallic embroidery must make the gown very heavy to drag around all night. Most inconvenient of all, Kim had to hold the dress together to avoid exposing her crotch when she walked. It’s a surprisingly modest move for Kim, who doesn’t usually worry about too much exposure.

YOU WON’T CATCH MADONNA WEARING A BORING EVENING GOWN

Thank heavens for Madonna’s sense of humor. She was the only major celebrity to really dress up in a rock n roll inspired costume at The Grammys. Everyone else seemed to think it was a very formal and conservative red carpet and they wore traditional long gowns and cocktail dresses. Did they FORGET it’s all about the music and anything goes? Looks like Madonna was a little bit S&M and a little bit bullfighter in this naughty get-up. (We can imagine Lourdes in her dorm at the University of Michigan watching her mother on the Grammys)

BEYONCE WASN’T SATISFIED WITH JAY-Z’S PERFORMANCE

Beyonce is still a PERFECTIONIST and sometimes a stern taskmaster. She and Jay-Z have the honor of opening the Grammy show tonight with their nominated song Part II (On the Run) and she wants it to be flawless. During the final dress rehearsal of their song, Beyonce thought Jay’s performance just wasn’t up to par. According to a witness, she pushed him to do it over and over until he got it RIGHT. And he did!
