Rita Ora in shiny Lanvin at the Grammys: cheap looking or gorgeous?

Rita Ora

Rita Ora scored a few points on last night’s Grammys red carpet by eschewing her usual full-on gown in favor of a short and funky dress. Rita wore an absinthe-colored Lanvin dress to bring the shine. She kept things fairly simple (for her), but I would have loved for Rita to have worn some really cool shoes to match. The dress also bunches up in weird places, but that may have been part of the design.

If the look seemed underdone, Rita has an excuse. She flew in at the last minute from the 50 Shades shoot, and she’s super busy juggling both acting and music right now. She was there to have fun, and her look worked for the most part. This could have been an amazing dress in another color. Rita posed with her boyfriend, Calvin Harris, who looked slightly out of place at the event.

Kelly Osbourne

Kelly Osbourne brought her rock-brat attitude aplenty in a caped Badgley Mischka dress. The bejeweled shoulder pads are the epitome of bad taste. She tried to have a little fun by showing us a cross dangling against her bare back, but this look cannot be redeemed. That purple hair looks like a wig at this point too.

Guiliana Rancic

Guiliana Rancic wore an orange Alex Perry dress. I’m not sure what’s going on with Guiliana lately. She never really hits it out of the style park, but her looks this awards season have been rather drab. Even with a bright orange dress, Guiliana looks depressed and like she doesn’t care. I want to give her a hug, but then she’d probably make fun of my clothes.

Ciara

Ciara was full of joy while bellycupping in a bronze-colored Emilio Pucci gown. This dress was way too much with all of its embellishments. I get that it’s hard to dress up a bump, but this gown is almost blinding on its own. Throw in that messy hair and she looks a hot mess.

    I had to Google “absinthe” -had no idea what this term meant. Interesting. The reason Guiliana looks depressed is probably because girl is hongray. Yes, I went there.

    • SonjaMarmeladova says:

      Rita looks okay. Why would Calvin Harris be out of place at the Grammys? The guy won a Grammy before.
      Am I the only one who likes Giulianna? She is funny on FP and the way they pronounce Rancic makes me laugh every time.

    • Decloo says:

      I would love this dress if the fit were better. It’s bunched at the shoulder and too much fabric under the bust. Plus the sleeves are too long for her.

      • MCraw says:

        Yeah, styling 101 is NO BUNCHING! This girl is wack.

        GR always looks hungry. She was not this thin starting out.

        And Kelly still hasn’t learned anything on Fashion Police. It’s never gonna happen for her lol

    Perspiration problem, Ciara.

    • Venny says:

      She needs Certain Dri!

    • Arock says:

      She looks fantastic. Pregnancy does crazy things to a body. With both of my children I had night sweats, day sweats, all the time. Between pregnancy, birth and breast feeding its 18+ months of secreating.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      I think she looks pretty, and hormones can do crazy things to your perspiration operations, she said defensively during a hot flash. Seriously, I feel for her. I get all dressed up and think I’m looking pretty, then I have a hot flash at the restaurant or party and I feel sticky and gross. It stinks. No pun intended.

      • paranormalgirl says:

        I just love hot flashes. They add a little excitement to a monotonous day… wait, no, they just suck. The night sweats sucks even more. Thanks the goddess for Chillow.

  3. Jessica says:

    Rita and Ciara are absolutely gorgeous.

  4. Sisi says:

    Rita’s hair has never looked better, too bad the dress suffers from bad tailoring.

    Ciara looks lovely imo. Her hair and face have a tendency too look too hard in her redcarpet looks due to controuring and hair straightening, but she looks soft and sultry here. She would’ve worn such a dress if she weren’t pregnant, so kudos for her that she doesn’t see the bump as an obstacle.

    I’m not going to comment on the E people, except to say that they are not guests there, they are there to make a program and shouldn’t walk the carpet but stick to their jobs. Sorry if that is too harsh

  5. eliza says:

    UGH! Kelly Osbourne. I just can’t.

    I guess Ciara, who I always thought was gorgeous, has put the rumors about her being transgender to rest. Sad for the gossip mongers who ran with that story.

    Not that there is anything wrong with being transgender.

    • Mingy says:

      LOL I believed that rumor!

      • eliza says:

        Lololol. Silly! đŸ˜‰

      • jaye says:

        My girlfriend’s aunt swore she saw Ciara on the Oprah Winfrey show stating that she was born a man. I told her that if that was true that would have been all over the news. She was insistent, though. LOL

    • Rachel says:

      Is it just me, or can Kelly Osbourne turn her head around to a sickening degree? Like Exorcist head turning. I had a really hard time coming to grips with the fact that that photo was taken from behind.

  6. Bish says:

    Omg, go away Kelly. Why is she even included in this selection?
    Rita looks good despite the wierd dress and Ciara rocks – I always thought she was beautiful.

    • SonjaMarmeladova says:

      I like how Kelly looks. She usually looks awful, but this basic black dress is alright.

      • Pandy says:

        I think she borrowed this dress from Sharon. And while I love her purple hair, I’m not too fond of it in that damn bob … she looks like a teacher trying hard to be funky in her mom’s dress.

  7. Size Does Matter says:

    At times I have liked Kelly. I like her anti-fat shaming message. But then she bashed Xtina for being fat because Xtina bashed her for being fat. It’s just too juvenile. She looks a little Falcon Cresty here, and I loathe the purple hair.

  8. paola says:

    Who gives kelly Osbourne the right to work for a fashion show and criticize people’s style choices when she is in fact wearing THAT?
    I mean, don’t judge others when you’re a hot mess yourself. I guess the answer to this mistery lies in her name.

    Didn’t Rita ora and Calvin harris break up? She looks good, better than ever i think.

  9. Penelope says:

    Talentless, fugly, obnoxious, entitled Kelly Osbourne is the lamest “celebrity” ever.

  10. Jackson says:

    I absolutely love the color of Rita Ora’s dress. Love it! Kelly looks ridic in that get up.

  11. Josephine says:

    I like Rita’s dress, even the color. It should have been tailored, but other than that I liked it.

    • QQ says:

      Those uneven armholes are the worst thing ive seen since I tried making clothes for my barbies

      Also Shoot me yall but im still 100% here for Kelly’s hair AND this particular outfit wearing Ozzy’s cross (they were so cute together he blubbered about how she was the light of his life)

  12. Jen says:

    I think Ciara looks amazing.

  13. Kim says:

    Whaaaaat?? Ciara looks GORGEOUS!!

  14. Dawn says:

    I loved Rita’s dress and thought that she and Taylor Swift were the best dressed. There is nothing cheap about that dress in my opinion.

  15. Just Me says:

    Guess I’m just old. I have no idea who Rita Ora is.

    • Leah says:

      Don’t worry, I am the same age as her i know of her but mainly because she gets papped an insane amount compared to her achievements and i have no idea why?

    • Lady says:

      She’s a pop singer from the UK. Her first 2 or 3 songs went straight to #1 there but she hasn’t had success in the states yet. Her voice is actually pretty good if you YouTube her acoustic performances.

      • Leah says:

        Lady, i am from the UK. She had some success her 2 years ago. It doesn’t really justify her incredibly high profile to this day. Her voice is not bad but the music is pretty forgettable. I just think she is incredibly over exposed compared to her output.

      • Lady says:

        That’s true. I always thought she has a great voice but her music isn’t special. She should be doing more acoustic stuff or release a ballad or something. It seems like she’s focusing on acting for now. To me she has that special “something” to be a star. Maybe that’s why she’s always photographed?

    • Pandy says:

      I don’t know her either – another Beyonce wannabe. All I know about her is that she shows up regularly on this site and on Fashion Police and that she dated Rob Kardashian – giant EEEEWWWWWW.

      • Vanessa says:

        Lol. People used to call her a Rihanna wannabe. I guess it depends on who’s more popular at the moment. Funny thing is, she had this style before both of them.

  16. Amanda_M87 says:

    She always looks cheap no matter what she wears.

  17. EG says:

    Ciara looks beautiful!! I too was a sweaty mess while pregnant so I sympathize.

  18. andrea says:

    How about that story in the daily mail of Sharon Osbourne throwing a drink at Jonah Hill’s brother ..

  19. PopCultureRut says:

    Ugh. Whenever I see this chick, all I hear in my head is, “Stop trying to make FETCH happen! It’s never going to happen!”

    She has Jay-Z pushing her. That’s why she gets papped so much. I wish these famous for nothing people would go away.

  20. IceQueen says:

    I like Kelly’s dress. There, I said it. I would take off the cross, though. Also, I hate her purple hair. It’s terrible.
