Who wore the ugliest dress to the Grammys?
There are two things you can always rely on when it comes to the Grammy Awards: Elton John will invariably show up to try to steal attention away from whichever artist is most controversial and talked about that year, and fashion on the red carpet will be hideous.
This year was no different. Now that the actual awards have been handed out (and you’ve already forgotten who won), let’s get down to the real competition:
Who wore the ugliest dress to the Grammy Awards? Here are the contenders, in no particular order:
Katy Perry, who glued pasties to Grandma’s panty hose
Beyonce, who seems unable to move in this ancient Egyptian body bag
Rihanna, who killed a feather boa then attached it to a wedding dress
Jennifer Hudson’s off-center waitress’s apron and Moe haircut
Taylor Swift and her square cleavage
Jennifer Lopez, who seems to have accidentally tucked the table runner into her mini skirt
Or Britney Spears in a 1940s swim suit, fishnet body stocking (complete with Britney-esque rips in the front), and fishnet stockings, in case you didn’t get enough sexy from the calves up
Note: Lady Gaga gets a pass. I think we all know what her deal is, and it ain’t pretty, pretty dresses.
So fellow fashion snarkers: who wore the ugliest dress to the Grammy Awards? Those who know me might guess my answer is Britney Spears, but you’re wrong (though just barely). I choose Beyonce. She always looks kind of plastic-y and lifeless to me, and this dress emphasizes that to the extreme.
Sorry, B. I’m afraid not even copious amounts of side boob can save this mess.

I’m sure its just her clutch, but does it look like Katy Perry is holding a capri sun juice pouch?
Britney: From the waist up, she looks vintage-lovely and elegant. From the waist down… yeah. Who lets her out of the house dressed like that? They need to be stopped.
Honorable mention to the pack of Mall Santa beards that attached itself to Rhianna’s chest.
This has nothing to do w/ her dress, but I think Taylor Swift looks like The Predator.
I’ve always thought Taylor Swift looked like some kind of wayward fairy, but this link breaks down what else she might be: http://blogs.nerve.com/scanner/2010/01/25/six-magical-creatures-that-look-like-taylor-swift/
Heather did you see the dress Beyonce wore during the actual award show? It looked like a bunch of tabs from soda cans were woven together to make the dress. I guess she figured if the dress was a failure she could take it to the recycling center and get a few bucks for it.
People.com actually has a poll up titled “What Was Beyonce’s Best Grammy Look?”: http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2010/02/01/what-was-beyoncs-best-grammys-look/
There’s no “None of the above” category.
#1 Rhianna – The front is weird, but I’m mostly disturbed why any woman would wear something that adds poochy saddlebags to your hips? OMG! I’m working to hide that and she’s had them sewn on!
#2 Katy Perry – the nude color is bad – especially with her black hair, the neckline is unflattering, and the sequin flower applique is tragic.
Although I kinda like Taylor Swifts dress – I didn’t catch the square boob thing… Just my 2 cents.
I think Pink took the cake in the Nude category.
as in like, nude nude.
Pink rocks btw.
oh, btw, I thought Katy’s dress was awesome had it been a shade or two darker from its north-fresno pancake foundation color.
J. Lo’s debacle is the worst by far. The Grammy’s are always sort of wacky on fashion, but this thing looks unfinished. There…I feel better now.
oh, i didn’t answer the “worst” question.
britney. she needs to start dressing like a woman.
Can anyone explain to me the wardrobe of Lady Gaga?
Britney wins by a mile!!
And the cool thing about Lady Gaga is she could potentially be best and worst dressed at the same award shows, with all her costume changes
I don’t know that this is the correct answer, but the first thing I thought of was this:

I don’t believe there is an explaination for Lady Gaga
I was right there with her, till they dropped her in the reject bin and she and Elton came out covered in ashes.. Was it a phoenix rising kinda metaphor? Was it just REALLY dirty under the set? I iz confused..
I LOVE the clutches on the red carpet. However, Katy Perrys dress was uggggly!
Has Britney given up pants to be more like Lady Gaga? What a tragic mess she still is. Britney that is. Gaga is well… unexplainable, but at least she can sing in key.
ha! taylor swift dropped on of her Grammys and broke it:

This is a tough one…
But I am going to have to say Katy Perry is the winner. There are redeeming/fixable things on the other dresses but Katy’s is straight up fugly. There is no way to make her dress any better.
And Britney needs a new stylist but can you even have a stylist when you look like that?
Ooh, and apparently Rihanna (rumored Jay-Z fling) has worn that dress before: http://bossip.com/210609/beyonce-performed-at-the-grammys-wearing-a-dress-rihanna-already-wore-somebody-is-getting-fired/rihrih-beybey/
Yikes.
Katy Perry wins! It looks like a Miss America pageant dress reject.
I’m not sure Taylor Swift belongs in this category at all, the rest have been pretty much earning their titles with appalling regularity for years! She’s just too young to know any better! Like Cindy Loo Who chuck her under the chin, pat her fanny & send her home she’s up past her bedtime. Adorable child! The rest just shake your head & cover your eyes! Moan a bit if you cannot keep your silence. But for heaven’s sake try not to give too much attention! It appears this group of repeat offenders has decided to take the easy route to achieving press by courting the Nay vote rather than earning the Yea vote. Please try not to encourage their continued sub-standard decisions! B & B you know who you are!
Lady Gaga is pretty much mocking everyone, laughing at how she can wear just about anything, even dogpoop, and people will eat it up.
As far as ugliest dress, Rihanna-Claus FTW!
Britney wins the hot mess award
frankly – jlo, and lady gaga.
i loved what Katy Perry wore, although it could have been little darker in tone.
and i love how you all bash britney and call her a mess for her fashion sense – YET you don’t bother to notice the smile on her face and the fact that she has a gorgeous glow to her, and although i would have loved to see something different on her as i would have chose something different for her, BUT she was deff not the worst dressed.
i love you britney, britney forever <3
Good deal. I like J.Lo music a lot. It actually irritates me when individuals say things like since she’s Forty she should not create music anymore. Thats nonsense. Carry it J.Lo!
