Rising Sign & Your Perfect Festival Outfit

Here are the perfect any music festival outfits for each of the 12 zodiac signs and Ascendants, with details on color schemes, materials, accents, and overall aesthetics:

PSA: Images and descriptions are both complimentary, so they may not be entirely identical, but everything is relevent.

Aries Rising: Bold and daring, an Aries rising would rock a fiery red crop top paired with high-waisted denim shorts. Accessorize with a black leather choker, combat boots, and a statement belt. The outfit screams confidence and adventure.

Taurus Rising: Earthy and sensual, a Taurus rising would opt for a flowy, bohemian-style maxi dress in shades of green and brown. Pair with a leather fringe vest, ankle boots, and a wide-brimmed hat. The outfit exudes comfort and laid-back elegance.

Gemini Rising: Playful and eclectic, a Gemini rising would mix and match patterns and colors. A graphic tee paired with a colorful, patterned skirt, fishnet stockings, and high-top sneakers. Accessorize with layered necklaces and quirky sunglasses for a fun, youthful vibe.

Cancer Rising: Soft and feminine, a Cancer rising would choose a vintage-inspired, pale blue sundress with delicate lace details. Pair with a cozy, oversized cardigan, ankle-strap sandals, and a small, cross-body bag. The outfit radiates comfort and nostalgia.

Leo Rising: Bold and dramatic, a Leo rising would make a statement in a metallic gold romper with a plunging neckline. Accessorize with a chunky, gold chain necklace, oversized sunglasses, and platform heels. The outfit screams glamour and confidence.

Virgo Rising: Clean and practical, a Virgo rising would opt for a crisp, white button-down shirt tucked into high-waisted, black denim shorts. Pair with a black leather belt, minimalist jewelry, and comfortable, low-top sneakers. The outfit is polished and effortlessly chic.

Libra Rising: Elegant and balanced, a Libra rising would choose a flowy, pastel pink maxi skirt paired with a white, off-the-shoulder crop top. Accessorize with delicate, gold jewelry, strappy sandals, and a woven clutch. The outfit is feminine and harmonious.

Scorpio Rising: Mysterious and alluring, a Scorpio rising would opt for a black, lace bodysuit paired with high-waisted, faux leather leggings. Layer with a sheer, black kimono, and accessorize with a choker, ankle boots, and a dark, smoky eye. The outfit is seductive and intense.

Sagittarius Rising: Adventurous and free-spirited, a Sagittarius rising would rock a tie-dye, cropped t-shirt paired with distressed, cut-off denim shorts. Accessorize with a woven, multicolored belt, layered anklets, and gladiator sandals. The outfit is playful and adventurous.

Capricorn Rising: Classic and sophisticated, a Capricorn rising would choose a sleek, solid & colored co-ord with a structured, cinched waist. Pair with knee high or thigh high black boots or dainty shoes, minimalist jewelry, and subtly refined look. The outfit is timeless and powerful.

Aquarius Rising: Unique and unconventional, an Aquarius rising would opt for a holographic, iridescent bodysuit paired with high-waisted, flared pants. Accessorize with a chunky, silver choker, platform boots, and a brightly colored, faux fur coat. The outfit is futuristic and eccentric.

Pisces Rising: Dreamy and ethereal, a Pisces rising would choose a flowy, sheer, pastel purple maxi dress with delicate, floral embroidery. Layer with a soft, crochet cardigan, and accessorize with a flower crown, layered, beaded necklaces, and strappy, barefoot sandals. The outfit is whimsical and enchanting.

Tips on Accessorizing for Cheap !!

this has been said to death already, but find the cheapest second-hand or thrift store you can in your area, and become a fiend. there’s a lot of great jewelry that’s hidden in there

furthermore, lots of thrift stores will have auctions to get rid of what doesn’t sell. here, you can get actual buckets of things for like,, $5 USD. you can ask the staff if they host these, and they’ll let you know! in my experience, you either have to be 18+ or be accompanied by someone who is, so if you’re young, grab your favorite trusted adult and go get some shit for dirt cheap. (this doesn’t stop at accessories, actually, i got all of my dishes and some furniture and books this way. just make sure to clean it !!)

if you’re interested in using chains and such for accessories, get them at a hardware store!! they’ll be sturdy and last you a good amount of time, while also being much cheaper than anything you’d find at a store.

ask around!! see if anyone you know has things they want to get rid of that you can snatch up

follow tutorials from punks. the entire subculture is built on rebellion, and thus relies very little on consumption. i’ve seen punks use the waistbands of old jeans as bracelets before, and look sick as fuck while doing it. even if that’s not the style you’re aiming for, you can still take the principles and practices and apply it to your own style.

get versatile!! i’ve used necklaces as pseudo-belts and bracelets before, and have wrapped bracelets around hair-ties. scarves can be ribbons or belts or hair-ties, too!! everything has a second, secret usage

things that aren’t accessories can also very easily become accessories if you try hard enough. bottle tabs can be tied together to make shapes and charms (many tutorials and patterns can be found on Pinterest!) and random pieces of thread can become charms if you learn how to tie certain knots.

diy and crafts!! save bottle caps and turn them into pins, spare ribbons as bracelets or earring charms. dollar stores and walmarts and such have supplies to craft your own jewelry, too! lobster hooks, thread, beads, earring hooks, etc.! you can even bypass this by buying sturdy enough wire and making the earring hook yourself, if that’s your only option. tie buttons together, and you end up with a bracelet, tie even more and you have a necklace or a belt or whatever the hell you want.

if you get some bobby pins and then hot glue charms or whatever onto them, you get hair clips!! just try and make sure the charm isn’t too heavy so it’ll stay in your hair.

libraries and other public services might have jewelry making or knitting or crocheting nights where you can learn how to craft and take what you create back home for free!! check that out (and also support your local library. get a library card i beg of you.)

you can prolong cheaply made jewelry (especially rings) by coating it in a layer of clear nail polish. it’ll stop it from turning your fingers green, and provide a protective layer between the metal and any sweat or water it might come into contact with

kids sections of stores. i am not even playing right now, go get yourself some hair clips meant for 6 year olds. if you figure out how to style it, it’ll be perfect.

remember that you can use and do literally whatever the fuck you want, so long as you like how you look. loop dental floss through buttons and wrap it around your wrist, or make a charm out of knots and hang it on the zipper of your jacket, or cut off the straps off of an old unusable bag and make it a choker. have fun with it

i’m American, so some of these might not translate well to other countries. if you have any advice to add, please do!!

2023 crochet round up!

i mentioned making a post like this a few days ago, and true to my nature, i waited until the last minute to get pictures

so here we are, in no particular order, various projects i finished in 2023

1.) this was technically crocheted last year (i think) but this year i finally assembled and lined it, making it finished! its not quite the size to be a purse, but its perfect for carrying my phone and keys while dog walking

i followed this pattern, and im really happy with the results!

2.) some little zipper bags. like the bag above, the purple one was crocheted last year, but i finally added the lining and zipper this year (i also used the same pattern as the above bag to make the purple one)

the grey one doesnt have a lining and zipper yet, but since the crochet is finished, it still makes the list

3.) little squares from this pattern, to have something to clip my stitch markers to, very helpful for travel

4.) a few of the chokers i made during the summer, there are a bunch more, but you get the idea, a couple were made based on this pattern

4.) this one was hard to get a good shot of, but it's a cat blanket i made for my sister's cats

the pattern was a free one i got from michael's in store, which doesnt seem to be on their site? however its a pretty simple pattern, im pretty sure you could find something nearly identical by searching "star baby blanket" or something like that

5.) for ages now i've been meaning to make something to keep my tablet pens in, because having them loose in my bag is begging for disaster

i actually had to make this little case twice, the first one was too long and the proportions looked weird, so it isnt pictured here

i hand finished all the seams for the lining, there was no practical need to do this

6.) pouch to carry headphones i got for my birthday

7.) pouch to carry Cool Rocks

the bottom of the bag comes from these doily patterns, and the ends of the ties are from this pattern

8.) a mini dice bag, made to hold a couple sets of mini dice my sister made for me!

9.) several cord ties made from this pattern, the flower was my own addition (only two ties are pictured because i didnt feel like tracking down the third)

10.) a flower vine to decorate my desk, no actually on my desk because i still need to sort out how i want to attach it

11.) speaking of flowers, ive probably made dozens of these little guys, they're very quick to make, and a good way to give my hands something to do while watching something

12.) little succulents from this pattern

13.) oops! another pouch to hold even more Cool Rocks

14.) while technically i still need to to line these bags, i still wanted to include them, i made them from this pattern, and im very excited for when theyre actually finished so i can use them

next we're getting into some shawls i made, and unfortunately i just dont have a good set up for getting pics of them

15.) this one was made by doing a little variation from this pattern

16.) this was made from the all shawl pattern by doris chan, its a really great pattern for beginner's, the first shawl i made was from that pattern!

17.) this was made from a variation on the same pattern i used for the cat blanket, i made a couple others from the same sort of pattern late last year, but i decided i needed one in black in october, because it looks just a bit like bat wings

18.) i made a cowl from this pattern, and i really love the texture of it! i also made one for my mom in a different color, which is not pictured here because i took these picture last minute

other things not pictured include: a dice bag for my sister, flowers for my mom, and a sack for the cats to curl up in (since they love making nests out of my projects)

[hallowedhuntress]

Hey! I am a Volturi S T A N and I really enjoy how cultured they are. They’ve had enough time to study every era in art intensively, and I wonder what their favorite would be. From Ancient to Romanticism, what era in art is the favorite of each Volturi guard?

Welcome fellow stan! Sorry this took longer than expected! I’ve taken a lot of art history courses so I probably gave this more thought than necessary! Also I went more with art styles rather than time periods, because that just seemed to make more sense to me. Hope that’s okay! 

Aro - You’re asking Aro to choose just one art style? Not going to happen. He’s collected art from everywhere and everywhen will insist that all of it has equal artistic merit. Yes even that broken new-age art mobile made of paper mache and plastic straws stuffed in the corner behind one of Botticelli’s angel paintings. 

Marcus - Without Didyme, he’s got a maudlin streak. So he’s quite into vanitas paintings, and Gothic Architecture. Mostly, he prefers history to art, however. 

Caius - He prefers art that is technically impressive and realistic as possible. For this reason, Realism has a strong appeal. Scientific drawings also fascinate him. He’s got a large collection of “undiscovered” Michelangelo’s. He also prefers technically impressive Baroque music. And minimalist architecture. But he has absolutely no understanding of or interest in heavily abstracted styles, like Impressionism, Cubism, and thinks most modern art is a phenomenal waste of time. It’s his most common argument with Aro, outside of official business.  

Sulpicia - Has a strong preference for female artists, especially those who depicted women being violent. Style isn’t especially important. Her favorites include Minoan bullfighters, a lot of angry women in the 1970s/1960s and Artemesia Gentileschi. She’s also big into fashion and makeup. A choker of pearls, blood-red lipstick and eyeliner sharp enough to kill a man are her go-tos.  

Athenodora - She’s more into poetry than pictures and sculptures. She especially likes poetry that’s flowery, but has a rigid structure. Free-form poetry is for the weak. Haikus, Greek Dramas, and iambic pentameter are where it’s at. She’s also got a fondness for plays, Shakespeare, of course, but also Opera, Kabuki theater, and modern musicals. She drags Caius along whenever she can, and he not-so-secretly enjoys it. 

Didyme - (She’s still alive, dammit). Art to her is about emotion. If it doesn’t make her feel something, why make it? She especially loves the colors in Impressionism. But also has a fondness for abstract geometric patterns and loud, splashy Modernist art. Like her brother, her tastes clash horribly, and any room decorated by her is an absolute eyesore. Marcus (who thinks it’s kind of adorable) is good-natured about it. And he’s a bit less grim with her around. 

Alec - That picture of George Washington riding a T-Rex and wielding a light-saber while wearing 3-D glasses just about sums up what Alec likes. He’s 12, so add enough flames, guns, robots and lasers and he’ll love it. 

Jane - Medieval art. It’s what she grew up with. But it’s also pretty grotesque at times (we’ve all seen those medieval art memes, right), and strikingly pretty on other occasions. Which suits her. Also, all the paintings/tapestries depicting witch burnings are good motivation. 

Heidi - She’s got a sense of humor, so she likes the Rococo Era. Not so much the architecture styles, or the dresses–that’s more Aro’s speed–but she likes how most people look at the paintings (like this one) from the era and just see a bunch of fancily dressed people and completely miss all the innuendos. They certainly go over Felix and Demetri’s heads, and that’s the way she likes it. 

Demetri - Art Deco. It’s clean, sharp, angular, stylish. He loves it as an art style, as an architecture style, and if he could get away with it, he’d wear 1920s tuxes all the time too. 

Felix - Roman art and especially Roman Architecture is Felix’s favorite. So stately and strong–like he is. He kind of wishes the Volturi fortress was built a little bit more like a Roman temple than a labyrinth of sewers, but he gets why it has to be that way. 

Renata - Music is more her forte than painting or sculpture. And, while it’s hard to compete with Aro, who can learn new instruments just by touching a virtuoso, she’s gained proficiency in the harp, the flute, the cello, and the piano. She also sings. But never anywhere she thinks someone else can hear her. Of course, thanks to super-vampire hearing, they all can. And they think her singing voice is lovely. But they know she would die of embarrassment if they admitted they could hear, so they never tell her. 

Corin - Prefers embroidery and hand-sewing to most other arts. She also took up knitting and crochet. And prefers to make things with flowers on them. She also likes literature, especially those by women authors, like the The Tale of Genji, the works of Jane Austen, Eileen Chang, and many anonymous women writers. 

Santiago - Dadaism, Surealism and especially Salvador Dali, whose political paintings greatly influenced his country while he was human. 

Chelsea - Art has never been the reason why she’s part of the guard. To her it’s eh… okay. Which was always a source of frustration for Aro when he tried to pamper her with gifts. “What do you mean you ‘don’t like paintings’? You cannot simply dislike all paintings?” But it got even worse when Afton arrived. 

Afton - Doesn’t understand art at all, and it’s one of the many reasons Aro hates him. You see, Afton was born after the invention of the camera and thinks realistic art is a waste of time (why not just take a picture?) and abstract art is just pointless splatters that any child could replicate. Oh, and cartoons are only for children. All of which he’s managed to get Chelsea to believe too.

Yeah….   

He does appreciate practical art like pottery. But he refuses to call it “art” and insists it’s like furniture, which he claims is somehow different. (hint: it’s not!)

Jewelry-Making for Beginners: Cords, Ribbons, and Laces; a Guest Post from Divya N

As I work through this series on Basic Jewelry-Making, there are going to be subjects on which my knowledge is limited. When I covered materials for jewelry-making, cording was an area that I left somewhat open. Divya from Jewels of Sayuri has kindly offered to guest post and fill in some of those blanks. Thanks to Divya! Here we go!

Of Cords, Ribbons and Laces

The secret to unique jewelry designs is in how you select and put together materials. Apart from beads of various shapes and sizes, supplies that can significantly alter the look of your designs and add pizzaz to them are stringing materials. Stringing materials can be majorly classified as wire, cord, ribbon, lace and thread. Hope had previously covered wire classifications. In this post I will be covering those that come under haberdashery trims. 

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 14.0px 'Trebuchet MS'} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px 'Trebuchet MS'} span.s1 {font-kerning: none} span.s2 {text-decoration: underline ; font-kerning: none; color: #0433ff}

Before we begin to source these materials, we must understand the difference between cords, ribbons, laces and yarn as these words are commonly interchanged. 

Cord

A Cord is a strong linear yarn like material that is normally round or square in cross-section. A cord can be plain or braided and it could be with or without stitching on one side. Cords could have a core material that is enveloped by an outer covering. A round leather cord or Regaliz (Portuguese Cork cord) enveloped by cotton fabric are good examples. 

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px 'Trebuchet MS'} span.s1 {font-kerning: none}

Cords are used to string beads and pendants or used as tieups. Popular jewelry making cords include cotton cords, hemp cords, satin cords (rattail), and leather cords. Paracord (Nylon Parachute cord) is often used to make bold macramé bracelets. Newer entrants to the market are denim cords, velvet cords and silk fabric cords.

Lace

A Lace is a flat (sometimes ruched) elaborately decorative trim that could be woven, knitted, or made using non woven techniques like crochet or needlepoint. It is a lightweight openwork structure patterned, either by machine or by hand. In Jewelry, laces are typically used to make Victorian Chokers and cuffs. 

Leather Lace

These are tapes that are ironically referred to as Leather Lace even when they have no openwork pattern in them. They can be flat with a colored edge, braided or even simple lengths of suede. They are great for making wrap bracelets.

Braid

Braids are trims that come under the non- woven category. Braiding is a technique that can be seen in cords and threads as well. Soutache thread is a narrow, flat braid trim in a herringbone pattern.

Ribbon

A Ribbon is flat and flexible mostly woven band often used in making bows and other small embellishments. Velvet ribbon, organza ribbon, satin ribbon or grosgrain ribbon are some commonplace examples of finished ribbons. However, you can cut any fabric into narrow strips to make ribbons. Sari Ribbon and shibori ribbon are made that way. If you want your fabrics ribbons to stretch and fray less, you can cut them on bias (45 degree angle). Alternatively, for a professional look you can get a ball hem, pico or overedge finish for the edges. A Rik-Rak (Ric–Rac) is a zig zag band that also comes under ribbons.

Tape

Tapes are also flat trims much similar to ribbons. However, they are usually narrow unlike ribbons which can be even 3”- 4” wide. Tapes are also thicker and could be edged as in the case of leather tapes. 

Thread & Yarn

Threads and yarns are fine string like materials that are used to create cords, ribbons or tapes. But they can also be used by themselves as stringing material or to create embellishments. Silk beading and knotting thread and transparent filament yarns are often used in beadweaving and beadwork. Yarn can be used to knit or crochet trims like rosettes. Pompoms can be made using woolen or acrylic yarn. Embroidery thread or silk thread could be used to make tassels or to wrap cords for bracelets and necklaces. Zari thread (combination of metallic yarn with silk or cotton thread) can add shine to your piece and make it feel luxurious.

The world of fabric and fiber jewelry is vast and is waiting for you to explore. I have only written about the tip of the ice berg here. Though the wide array of available trims can make it confusing for a beginner, working with them can be truly pleasurable. As you embark on this journey, I invite you to visit my blog Jewels of Sayuri, facebook page, and Instagram handle for eclectic inspiration.

Bracelets You Can Make In Under An Hour

Yesterday afternoon Hubs and I loaded Gracie in the car and traveled north to fight with other mall shoppers and exchanged a few gifts.  There wasn’t as big of a crowd as we had anticipated, so we finished up shopping quickly and headed out for a nice bite to eat at our favorite Pho restaurant.   On the way home the NJDOT had updated the highway boards to warn of the winter storm that would be…

Crochet Layered Choker Necklace with Pendant or Charm Tutorial and Pattern

Crochet Layered Choker Necklace with Pendant or Charm Tutorial and Pattern

This was such a fun project to crochet! I really wanted to jump into designing a few crochet jewelry items because I had some Aunt Lydia’s and Artiste #10 crochet thread laying around for quite some time now. I never really invested the time to put those to use. So this is my very first crochet choker design and I am so pleased to be able to share it with you! I love the mystery and sensual look…

Final Evaluation

Final Evaluation My research throughout this project was effective towards my samples and towards my outcome, for example, I used the tribe research to inspire me to create the choker on my final design. Looking at different plaits inspired different knitting and through this I learnt a lot. I also learnt how to crochet which again I did different things with. I did consider different textures of the materials I used for example if the wool was thick when finger knitting it was really good but if you used thin wool gaps would appear and its effect was lost. My theme was African Caribbean hairstyle; this was something I loved looking at and finding out in depth about. I decided for my concept I would do tribes, this worked very well with my theme as their hair was the same if they grew it, but also some would wear metal and objects in their hair, this was very inspiring throughout my project and led me to my final piece. We did two challenges; the 20 design challenge and the photo shop challenge, these both wanted the same type of outcome (a design). I thought that I would find the photoshop one easier and more sufficient but when it came to it, I much preferred the 20 design challenge because it was more free and you were able to shape around the body and the flow seemed more natural. Doing research on constructive textiles was hard at the start but then I found a few people who were very interesting to read about and see what they had created. Many of these inspired me and led me to try new things, unconventional tools to knit with and things I wouldn't have thought of before. This research helped me develop my samples into more creative ideas, for example I knitted and then I knitted with wire just to try something different. After all the research I came up with an idea for my final piece. My final piece worked with both my theme and my concept, I used little metal pieces to show the tribes had inspired me also the choker a the top of it was because I had seen that some tribes wear long things around there neck all the time to stretch their necks out as long as possible. Also the African hair looks and feels a lot like the tassels that I've used, they took me a very long time because I stitched over them to create and effect/ pattern. If I did do this again I would make sure I had it thicker underneath because at the moment it does run a little thin. Without doing at the samples that I completed beforehand I don't think I would have had such a good outcome because each time they developed I liked them more and more and could see what would work in the design best. My blog https//:georgiasmith-hairproject.tumblr.com was really good I really enjoyed doing it and I believe it has helped my project. In reflection the only problem with it was that it didn't really have enough visual elements like photos and videos, it was a lot of writing which doesn't appeal to a lot of people.

The 59th Annual Grammy Awards 2017

blablabla

 ADELE :

Adele wore a fern green Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci.

KENRA - 8/10 : The fern green colour and the added rhinestones are a good touch to give more drama and more elegance. The shape is also figure higging which perfectly displays her curves perfectly. Adele makes anything look timeless.

TARRAH - 8/10: This curve-hugging dress is a perfect fit for Adele. The geometric patch work gives added drama, however I do not think that the green lace at the bottom of the sleeves fits in with the rest of the dress.

BEYONCE :

Beyoncé wearing Peter Dundas and Lorraine Schwartz

KENRA - 6.5 : I love the lustrous red gown and the long necklace, but Queen B has a lot more potential compared to the classic glitter red gown. I would’ve liked her to wear the white and gold gown she wore for the after party. Regardless, this dress was very beautiful at showcased her future baby heirs well.

TARRAH - 6.5/10: I liked the overall look, and I think that the dress suited her baby bump really well. However, I didn't really like the plunging box neckline and felt that her necklace was a little was a little too much for a such a extravagant dress.

 Beyoncé wearing a Peter Dundas

KENRA - 9 : Beyoncé’s pregnancy will never stop her from being the show stopper she is known to be. This custom embroidered gown is so angelic and flaunts the queen’s baby bump so perfectly, especially it’s resemblance to the God Venus which Beyoncé has been linking herself to recently in her pregnancy shoot.

TARRAH - 8.5/10: Beyonce looked like an absolute goddess in this dress. The bejewelled details on her dress looked absolutely stunning and the picture of the girl in the middle of her baby bump and the small, not noticed lyrics in the jewels mad the dress look like it was telling a story.

CHANCE THE RAPPER :

Chance The Rapper wearing Thom Browne.

KENRA - 7.5 : I love the tan brown baseball cap and the matching shoes to a regular grey suit as it adds a very urban vibe to the regular suit. It gives me a very urban Charlie Chaplin look for a bizarre reason , but this outfit was very unique and different.

TARRAH - 7/10: Chance the Rapper looked so good. I loved how he wore his signature hat with such a classy suit, giving it an urban feel. His suit jacket was also very different compared to the regular suit we see on the red carpet, which was a nice surprise.

RIHANNA :

Rihanna wearing Armani Prive and Chopard jewels.

KENRA - 7.5 : I love how regal this is and her tattoo peaking out from underneath a sparkly orange crop top is absolutely stunning and adds a lot of character to the look, but I award this a 7.5 as a crop top and ruffled skirt has been seen before on red carpets. Although Rihanna makes it look absolutely breath taking - I think she could have been more adventurous.

TARRAH - 7/10: I really liked the dress, and the colour combination is very different. But its not to crazy and quite simple for regular red carpet Riri. I loved the was her to accentuated her tattoo and would have loved to see the same for her wrist tattoo, covered by a white bracelet.

SOLANGE KNOWLES :

Solange wearing Gucci.

KENRA - 6 : Metallics and olive colours have been paving their way in fashion, and you can always count on Solange to be on the scene with the trend. Her warm skin complements the colour perfectly and the pleats are a very good touch to make this look very ornate. However, shoes could have been better though out.

TARRAH -  6/10: She was wearing a very high fashion look. She was giving pleats, metallics, slit, strappy clear heals, ruffles. However I didn't think that these looked good together. A simpler look would have look just as good if not better.

Solange wearing Iris Van Herpen.

KENRA - 6 : This look is very classic, but the sheer stripe and flowy drape gown isn’t a shocker. Solange is a very toned down but fashionable girl, so this look does flatter her.  

TARRAH -  7.5/10: This look was definitely better than the last. Solonge looked wonderful, however it wasn't that special so I think that this also kind of “missed the mark”

JENNIFER LOPEZ :

Jennifer Lopez wearing Ralph & Russo and Butani diamond rings.  

KENRA - 6 : No disrespect to J-LO, but I feel as if her dress game has been plummeting recently. This is a very different switch to her regular figure hugging seductive dresses as this is very feminine with the lilac and the ruffled neck, but it wasn’t the greatest I had seen on her.

TARRAH - 5.5/10: Much love to JLO but she keeps disappointing on the red carpet. This dress wasn't my favourite. Although, this dress looks classy and elegant, the bow choker doesn't look that good and over-crowds the outfit. Overall the look wasn't my favourite.

KATY PERRY :

Katy Perry wearing Tom Ford.

KENRA - 7 : This is something very unique to the red carpet and the colours on the dress are very appealing. This is a very fun look for Katy to style, but I don’t think the slim feather skirt looked stunning. The feather addition is a great idea, but I think a fuller feather skirt would have looked a lot more radiant.

TARRAH - 5.5/10: I liked the sequinned top and think it looked very edgy and fitting to personality, I also loved the feathered bottom and loved the way these coloured worked with each other and with Katy’s new hair. However the feathers and sequins together didn't work well.

CELINE DION :

Celine Dion in an emerald Zuhair Murad Couture gown.

KENRA - 5.5 : Celine is a very respectable artist, but I don't think the gown wowed me. I would’ve liked to see the gown without the bow and instead with a silver belt. Also, a little more variation in the colour  so everything isn't green and perhaps add some silver jewels in there to break it up.

TARRAH - 6/10: Celine Dion is a legend and look extremely elegant in this dress. I also liked the bold colour and neckline. But I think this dress looked a bit overdone with the ruffles and large bow.

CHRISSY TEIGEN :

Chrissy Teigen wearing a black lace-up macramé gown.

KENRA - 7 : Chrissy reminds me of a very alluring tribal god here and seems to be somewhat inspired by the new 50 shades of grey with the cut outs and straps. Chrissy looks gorgeous as always, but maybe a little sparkle could be added to the gown to make it more eye catching.

TARRAH -  7/10: Chrissy Teigen looked absolutely stunning in this dress. It had just the right amount of cleavage and the geometric or aztec pattern seen all over the dress were a really beautiful  addition to the already stunning dress.

TARAJI P HENSON :

Taraji p. Henson wearing a lavender Marc Jacobs mini dress with Jimmy Choo ‘Minny’ sandals.

KENRA - 6.5 : This is a very fun dress and the space motif is very different to the regular dress designs seen at the Grammys, but I think some better statement shoes and bling could give more attraction to the look.

TARRAH - 7/10: Taraji P Henson can do no wrong. This short dress was extremely flattering and Taraji looked stunning. I loved the tumblrish alien themed embroidery but do think that some jewellery or accessories could have made her look even more beautiful

CHARLIE XCX :

Charli XCX wearing a red, brocade gown and oversized safety pin earrings by designer Vivienne Westwood and red, ribbon tied Gianvito Rossi heels.

KENRA - 5.5 : Charli is such a fierce woman and this very elegant dress is a nice contrast, but it didn’t work for me. The dress didn’t drape around her petite figure well, and perhaps would’ve looked better in black with gold detailing.

TARRAH -  5/10: i didn't like this look, as with many others Charlie looked extremely uncomfortable in this dress and it just didn't hug her figure well at all. I did however think that the style and colour was a good effort.

5/10: i didn't like this look, as with many others Charlie looked extremely uncomfortable in this dress and it just didn't hug her figure well at all. I did however think that the style and colour was a good effort. 

KENRA - 4 : This is very strange and a major difference from her classic, sophisticated red dress, but it seems a bit pointless to me. If you are going to wear a hallucination dress, make it look somewhat believable.

TARRAH - 4/10: Charlie XCX didn't impress with this look. I liked the style and loved the message but didn't think it looked good.

CARRIE UNDERWOOD :

Carrie Underwood wearing a red Elie Madi embellished gown.

KENRA - 7 : This is very gorgeous and complementing to Carrie. It has a greater seductive, powerful feel which is definitely different from Carries regular vibes. Perhaps the gown could have been a grey colour and have the embellishing be black to stand out.

TARRAH - 6 : Carrie looked extremely elegant in this dress, but it wasn’t anything that stood out from the crowed in a breath-taking manner. 

LEA MICHELE :

Lea Michele wearing Roberto Cavalli.

KENRA - 6.5 : I love how bohemian this is and the crochet and beading is absolutely stunning - definitely a crowd pleaser for me. However, the makeup did look a bit strange to me (as if she had itchy red eyes) and I think it should have been a simple wing and glitter, but overall it is certifiably opulent.

TARRAH - 7/10: I think Lea looked stunning in this dress, I loved the bohemian vibe and the Floral patterning on the dress as well as the mesh base material. I also thought the make up looked a bit weird but the overall look was wonderful.

HALSEY :

Halsey wearing a satin blue two piece by Christian Wijnants.

KENRA - 6.5 : Halsey loves to have her ladies be free, it seems. She definitely is one to catch all attention and she certainly achieved it on the red carpet. I do like how sexy yet conservative this look battles against and will go down in he ‘most outrageous Grammy outfits’ for sure (in the greatest way possible).

TARRAH - 7/10: Halsey is my Queen and always will be and here she has proved that. She looks badass with this look that gives me nineties hip hop vibe. I loved the colour and the body jewellery was stunning .

PARIS JACKSON :

Paris Jackson wearing a Balmain gown.

KENRA - 7 : It is a pleasure to see Paris paving her way through the media a little more after years in the shadows, and what better way to make a grand reveal than wearing this gorgeous warm tone glitter gown which compliments her hair and tattoos to a satisfiable extent and matching heels.

TARRAH - 7.5/10: I loved the way that Paris’s tattoos were displayed and the side cuts and neckline of this stunning dress. I think it was a great way for Paris to reintroduce herself to the media.

CAMILA CABELLO :

Camila Cabello wearing a Miri Couture silver gown with scattered lilac floral embellishments.

KENRA - 5 : It’s nice that for the first time Camila is stepping out as a solo artist, she is acting upon her claims that she was oversexualised being in fifth harmony and is instead wearing a very formal gown as a new individual and is very fitting to her style.

TARRAH - 5.5/10: Camila definitely has rebranded herself with this dress. I think she looked like a princess and hope that she continues to carry her brand as strongly as she has.

LADY GAGA

Lady Gaga wearing a leather Alex Ulichney ensemble.

KENRA - 4.5 : This is a very Gaga outfit, and was punk related to fit with Metallica, but I felt a bit confused. I understand that lady gaga isn’t one to do formal looks, but perhaps the leather fringe jacket should be paired with matching lizard skin and leather fringe trousers - but otherwise this is another addition to Gaga’s most revealing outfits to date.

TARRAH - 4/10: I think that this look was vey edgy and gave a steampunk vibe. But I don't think that is was very fashion forward and it definitely didn't make as big a statement as Gaga’s past outfits.
