Music & Fashion Winners at the 54th Grammy Awards
As the 54th Grammy Awards comes to an end, we will remember this music award show for many things. From the opening rockin’ performance of Bruce Springsteen, to Jennifer Hudson’s moving tribute to the late Whitney Houston singing “I Will Always Love You,” to Adele dominating the night, and two historic performances by Sir Paul McCartney. It was truly a special night for music – the Grammy Awards
Many music fans were anticipating the return to the public eye of Adele, the six-time-nominee. This was her first public performance since having to cancel her tour and recover from vocal cord surgery.
But Adele left no doubt who stole the Grammy show. She won six Grammys, including the top three categories of record and song of the year for “Rolling in the Deep,” plus album of the year for “21.”
Music wasn’t the only topic of discussion this evening in Los Angeles. The 54th annual Grammy Awards red carpet was alive with fine fashion. Here are a few of the notable fashion standouts.
