And the winner is...

Well, there's more than one...for me anyways. First, I must say that last night was so much fun and just like I remember from watching when I was a kid. I love the magic of the movies and last night was a true celebration. It also couldn't have been much worse from the train wreck that was last year. That was painful.

Last night's looks were all incredibly classy, beautiful, and extremely well suited to each actor. Maybe not my favorite looks ever on everyone but I did not see any fashion emergencies (save the almost/faux nip slip from J.Lo). I'll let the pictures speak for themselves but let it be known that my best dressed was a tough choice, but once Gwyneth's cape came off, she won me over with her insane Tom Ford gown and her ever so hot bod. The dress would not have shined without it. While her ponytail (a big trend last night) was not my choice for best hair, I saw no hair mishaps and actually thought everyones hair looked impeccable. My favorite hair, although I always love a tight bun, goes to Penelope Cruz for her exquisite retro waves. And Emma Stone won my heat with her pink makeup and red dress, so now, so girly, so perfect on her. What were your favorites?

Spring is coming...right?

I sure hope so! Between our 60,and almost 70(!), degree weather a week or so ago (now it is 20something outside, we won't talk about it) and the two fabulous new blondes at the Grammys last night, spring is surely near.

There were amazing performances, I would say some of the best in years, last night and some incredible hair and make up looks. My two personal favorite were Rihanna and Adele. Rihanna was looking a little more grown up than usual in a stunning black, backless dress that left little to the imagination but just enough to have everyone staring. Not to mention her sexy, beach-y blonde hair. It suits her perfectly and is probably my favorite hair on her next to the extreme asymmetrical crop she had a few year ago. And don't be discouraged by her ever-changing hair, it's not the stuff growing out of her was but it is hers! She paid for it, after all...

And heavenly Adele. What an incredible first performance after her throat surgery! She pretty much always moves me to tears, but her flawless hair and makeup kinda do the same thing for me. Hello Catherine Deneuve!! Her look is retro enough for you to know she is full of old soul and admires ladies of decades past but slightly messy and just modern enough to not feel silly or costume-y. Well done ladies!

Who were your favorites last night?
