So many people were beautiful, and so many people were beastly. Hence, my post is called "Beauty and the Beast." I wonder if the worst dressed dress like this on purpose; they probably do, summing up the idea that they'll get attention either way... 

I'll just post just a few pics to keep stirring the pot on the craze of Grammys fashion.

 ...And the BEAST...

Worst Dressed at the Grammys: Adam Levine

JADEN SMITH's Hott Look w/ Justin Bieber and Usher At 2011 Grammys


I have to give a FIST BUMP to Jaden Smith for performing with Justin Bieber and Usher, lookin' all swagg-ful in cornrows and RISQUE LEOPARD PANTS. I'm tellin' you, leopard is the STYLE for men of this year. It's not for me but maybe I'll try a teeny-tiny leopard piece. See more JADEN SMITH PICS and the performance from the 2011 Grammys below:


Lady Gaga and Jaden - she actually hugged and kissed him!



Dat's HOTT...

OMARION: Nice Clothing Pieces, Subpar Execution Into An Outfit

What could have made Omarion look better? Change sweater and shirt color to BLACK, keep the
bowtie, smaller neck jewelry, acne medicine. VOILA!!!!!

Despite what some people thought about Omarion's outfit at the pre-Grammy and the Afterparty as being 'horrible,' 'eye-gouging,' and other quite derogatory words, I do have to give OMARION credit for at least picking out nice individual pieces, like these below that he wore. The Fendi belt is for $410 and the Christian Louboutin Rantus Orlato for $695.
But the execution in putting these pieces all together seemed to ruin the whole look. Simply put: LESS IS MORE. Whenever anyone tries to put on too many colors and try to look flashy, the actual look is 'TACKY,' which was how Omarion looked. Omarion could have done away by wearing more darker pieces (preferably black), allowing JUST THE TWO BELOW PIECES to 'bling' through.

Whenever you have a colorful accessory, NEVER add more than one more colorful piece to your look.

USHER and OMARION Spot-On/Just My Style At Grammys After-Party


Perfect. Bravo!! Bravo!! There's nothing I would change about Usher's outfit. The 2 Grammys he picked up were a nice touch, as well. The 'OMG' singer did an excellent job with his mentee Justin Bieber and friend Jaden Smith at the Grammys last night.

The one thing about Usher's outfit that caught my eyes were his Vivienne Westwood Seditionary boots for $673. I can really say OMG! I. LOVE. THEM. PERIOD.


It takes a fashionista eye to recognize the sheer uniqueness and high caliber of class these boots have. OHHHH... these belong in the Smithsonian *LoL*

Check out more pics, and check out OMARION below with a colorful Fendi belt for $410. He also had Christian Louboutin Rantus Orlato sneakers for $695 (More pics to come) I liked that, too. He's coming into his own pretty good. *Fist bump to Omarion*

Creatures on the 2011 GRAMMYs Floor: NICKI MINAJ and LADY GAGA!

“This outfit is a masterpiece by Givenchy. What they made for me is just a miraculous piece of lioness meets her cub meets fierce-ocity meets fabulosity meets fashionista meets everything.”
“This is all my hair. At night, if I press a certain button, my hair grows up. I press another button, it activates the color in it.”
These are the words of the great and ferocious lioness, that is, NICKI MINAJ. Weird? Strange? Crazy? Of course, the whole outfit was. Caught your attention? That's what it's designed to do. And that's why I like it. I like things that turn heads. I like doing or suggesting things or seeing other people in a non-verbal language and just letting my or their pieces speak for itself. Now on to the next person--er---creature: LADY GAGA.


No one but LADY GAGA can do this. As a matter of fact, she's the only one who did this. Who would think of "walking above ground" on the red carpet in an egg? GaGa's spokesperson said that she is incubating and will not be born until the beginning of her performance (which was great, a crazed 'primitive' kind of setting).

Don't worry, GaGa wasn't suffocatin' in there. The egg was specially designed to actually help her, like some oxygen container thingy with a porthole in the back of the egg for ventilation. WOW. just WOW.

So there you have it. Two creatures that are beautiful ladies, totally different shapes, sizes, and color, but come from the same land.
I can seriously smell a future collabo.

RIHANNA's White Hott 2011 Grammy Gown.... Barely There!

Rihanna

Ladies and gentlemen... welcome to my HUMBLE 'A-POST.' I am still recovering from the 2011 Grammy Awards. Just so disappointed about how a lot of things turned out. As a blogger, I had to stay glued to my plasma HDTV (with all the trimmings, great sound and concert experience) but I still got no BUBBLY FEELING inside due to the seemingly RIGGED results. I felt so violated.

Anyway, it's not my role to judge on the music  but.... GRRRRR... so mad!

I was somewhat sobered to see such beauty from Rihanna in her most revealing Grammy gown YET. Draped in Jean Paul Gaultier, the gown looks as if the white fuzzy streamers could have been used to decorate a Christmas tree. Well, Rihanna is a BEAUTIFUL TREE *wink.* 

Also, GREAT PERFORMANCE for Rihanna, especially while recovering from laryngitis and bronchitis. 'I'm on every med under the sun!' she told Ryan Seacrest. 

Rihanna

Happy Valentine's Day!

The CLIVE DAVIS Pre-Grammy Party 2011 - JAIDEN Style

Usher and Clive Davis

This is without a doubt the biggest night of the year so far, for musicians, and also for the viewers. The GRAMMYS is a two-way excitement, a two-way magical night for artists to claim such a prestigious award for their hard work.

And here on THE ONLY JAIDEN, this is the little ol' spot where artists are showcased for their fashion sense, and where better to start that off (this is my first Pre-Grammy/GRAMMYs post) with a couple of pics that I'll post up so you can see:

 
Diddy and Randy Jackson - this photo is a little odd to me. I don't know... IT JUST IS.

Keri Hilson and Toni Braxton (Toni got thick thighs, love it, but.. something's a little off about the face)

...And many more were there...
As I looked through several pics of musicians and actors at Clive Davis's Pre-Grammy Party, and compared from years before, the way just about all of them were dressed was quite spot-on.
 I say "BAAAAAM!!!" *LoL*

RIHANNA's Shock Of Red Hair To Be The Show of the GRAMMYs

rihanna gucci rocnation 01

Despite battling bronchitis and laryngitis, RIHANNA and her hair (a whole separate 'person' LoL) are expecting to perform at the 2011 GRAMMYs. She is expected to perform with Drake (above pic taken Feb. 12). Rihanna's beautiful white dress is a calm contrast to her wild, wild red hair. I will be keeping coverage, LIVE coverage on Twitter of the GRAMMYs.

Beautiful Black Women Looking Great For Valentine's Weekend


This weekend was the Heart Disease Awareness  (Heart Truth) that kicked off Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, and many of the female artsists and actresses were there.

The lineup included the encompassing Patti Labelle, Taraji P. Henson, Eve, Gayle King, and more. This was a very nice and positive way to get out the awareness of heart disease, especially dressing all pretty in RED on this Valentine's weekend. Each of the women who walked down the runway have some form of connection to heart disease, either through family and/or friends.

See more photos of what else they were doing this weekend:
