Grammys 2013: JT In "Suit & Tie", Bey in Pants

Just as I thought Justin Timberlake schooled everyone in menswear and somehow managed to steal attention away from even the ladies, Bey showed up in pants and gave JT a run for his money.  (P.S. John Mayer, please take notes.  Velvet lapis suits are not the best.  Or even mediocre.)  Who knew I'd start off recapping the Grammys by mentioning how great people who covered up their lower extremities looked?  Just goes to show, those who follow the rules, win.  Or not.  Because Rihanna showed up, showcasing her body's reaction to frigid temperatures, and looked ahhhmayyzzzing.

Sidenote(s): why do they keep inviting LL Cool J to be the host? I mean if Ricky Gervais finally got passed on for other options, can't we do the same here?  Can someone tell Carly Rae Jepsen about tanning beds?  Also, Faith Hill trying to give me shingles. 

Leave it to Rihanna & J.Lo to completely disregard CBS' wardrobe advisory.

Jennifer Lopez flipped the bird at CBS by coming in a thigh-high dress.  Throwback to 2000 Grammys. And Angelina Jolie at Oscars 2012.  Apparently she is either a) illiterate, b) has bad (or good?) publicists, or c) just trying to twist the knife, since dating a 25 year old post-divorce isn't enough.

Rihanna decided to cover up-- sort of. She opted for the sheer look, not opting for fashion tape. Also not opting for safety, seeing that she is back with CB.


BEST DRESSED

Apparently Carrie and Taytay have a fued going.  You may say, "who cares?" and you're right...it's not important.  Except for that it is because it seems like only Carrie will say what everyone else is thinking: Taylor, get the hell out of the 'country' genre and stop stealing all our awards.   Not that Carrie actually said that, but I am going to assume that is the reason why Carrie won't play nice.

Kelly Rowland seriously flirting with the CBS attire guidelines.  And looking great doing so.

And we conclude with the greatest eye candy of the night, Justin Timberlake, in a Tom Ford suit and (bow)tie:

You can really only fully appreciate the hair tonight after taking a stroll down NSYNC memory lane.

Mary Camden is one lucky gal.
