The 2023 Grammy Awards Red Carpet Review (the post in which I realize that I may be getting old)

"When we were small children, we all played dress-up and everybody had a good time.
So why stop?"

The Grammy's red carpet was a little disappointing. There weren't many looks that I liked, but here are a few. And I guess I'm just getting old because I seriously knew maybe 20% of the people. Granted they are primarily musicians and I don't watch music videos, so I don't recognize their faces. Maybe I would recognize some voices (or not)?! But for the most part, I had NO idea who most of the people were. Even by name.


Kacey Musgraves's feathery pink number is lovely, actually. Not sure I would pick it myself, but it looks nice. Although, I just saw another photo and the underdress is not a dress, it's a bodysuit. Not my thing.

I love the midnight blue and light sparkles of Taylor Swift's outfit. The earrings are a bit much, but definitely fit the look.

I like the black velvet applique cape, but really Queen Latifah's smile makes her look.

Lachi. Who's Lachi? I have no idea. But I liked her dress. Simple but sparkly.

Lauren Tomlin, whoever she is, wore a nice sleek sparkly number. Very elegant.

Amanda Reifer (once again, I have no idea who she is). Not so much into her outfit, but can we take a moment and stare at that hairdo?! Very cool. Though, I would never want to sit behind her. I wonder how they made it stay standing straight up like that.

Kira Kosarin. Maybe a dress we've even seen before. Definitely a style we've seen. But I like it. Still don't know who she is though.

No men this time around. None of them wowed me. To be honest, not many of the hundreds of pictures I saw wowed me. I must be getting old. Or the fashion is just getting more and more uninteresting to me.
