Top ten worst Grammy outfits

Last evening, the music industry bigwigs got together to celebrate the latest and greatest in the record business. Unfortunately, latest and greatest can't be used to describe many of the outfits we saw last night at the Grammy's. It's hard to describe these style disasters in general terms, so I'll just go ahead and give you my picks for the Top Ten Worst Outfits.

1. Sting: I'm sure that performing live with your old band mates could get pretty hot. But I dare say that no amount of friction justifies a vest without a shirt. Sting, we know you're yoga hot, but even Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers could tell this look was lame.

2. Mary J. Blige's red jumpsuit: Mary J. changed outfits more often than most of us change our socks in a week, and while some of her decisions were spot on, the red halter jump suit was not. Wish she kept on her beige, belted gown for this number.

3. Jamie Foxx: You are the Foxx, we know that, but being the Foxx doesn't mean that you can dress like a waiter on Love Boat without raising a few eyebrows.

4. Shakira: Don't get me wrong, 3 out of 4 ain't bad, but when the offending one overwhelms the good ones, you can still find yourself on the list of Top Ten Worst dressed. Curls are tough, I understand, but teasing them up to Chaka Khan status is never the way to go.

5. Fergie: Had it been about six inches longer, this Badgley Mischka mini dress would have rocked the red carpet. But as it stands, Fergie-Ferg looks like she's wearing a cheap Victoria's Secret negligee with heels and diamonds.

6. Beyoncé: Yikes. Where you do even begin with that one? The fit? The wacked-out hem? The strangely gathered bodice? Anyway you slice it, this dress is a disaster.

7. Scarlett Johansson: The dress is bland, but passable. Her hair however is another matter entirely. I know that gentlemen prefer blonds, but I don't think that blanket phrase extends to include blonds with bad roots and unflatteringly light shades.

8. Nelly Furtado: Apparently, Nelly didn't get the memo about Bjork's Golden Globe dress disaster. White feathers with gold spangles might seem like a good idea in principle, but it always ends up making you look like a Vegas showgirl or a swan that has just been crowned queen.

9. John Mayer: Sneakers with a tuxedo isn't subversive -- it's just plain dumb. I'm embarrassed for you.

10. Paula Abdul: Three words: big, sparkly, bow. Let's hope she was drunk when she picked this one out.
