2013 GRAMMY Awards Fashion
CBS was very clear about this year’s 55th Annual Grammy Awards. They didn’t want to see any exposed breasts, no nipple slips, no exposed derrieres, no exposed anything’s. They just want a good, clean show!
An email leaked and posted to Deadline shows CBS’s “wardrobe advisory” for the 55th Annual Grammy Awards. In it, network heads ban exposed female breasts, buttocks, and genitals, and other curiosities like organization-boosting lapel pins.
Extract: CBS Program Practices advises that all talent appearing on camera please adhere to Network policy concerning wardrobe. Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered. Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic. Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples. Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible “puffy” bare skin exposure
So who would come close to defy the 2013 Grammy dress code?
Katy Perry, in a floor-length Gucci gown, just about held the conduct code requiring that breasts would be “adequately covered”.
A risqué RiRi showed off her nipple rings through a stunning custom red Alaia dress.
Who hit a sartorial high and managed to walk the tricksy line of sass without the crass?
Who went all-out on the beauty front and who was the Grammys beauty queen?
Carrie Underwood - nominated for two Grammy awards was one of the first celebrities to hit the red carpet at the Los Angeles Staples Center
She paired the look with sculpted tumbling curls and a Swarovski black satin hexagon “Gala” box clutch with white crystal border
Carrie’s necklace featured 381 carats of oval, pear, marquis and round brilliant white diamonds, according to a press release from the jeweller. The amazing necklace was one of the most talked about pieces of jewelry during the awards ceremony. The 29-year-old “Blown Away” singer told E! news (quote via People): “It’s heavy on my soul,” ...“It’s 381 carats of gorgeousness. I’m afraid someone is going to tackle me and steal it.” “It’s worth more than me,” she added humorously.
No Mike Fisher hockey tackle was required on the night though! Forbes recently named Carrie the second highest-earning ‘American Idol’ star, as she made $5 million between May 2011 and May 2012. Add hubby’s Mike Fisher’s hockey salary of $4 million and the two would have to work for three-plus years to pay for it if it went astray!

She told E! "I’ve worn Givenchy to every Grammy Awards that I’ve been to.
I’m very lucky and Riccardo Tisci is so generous and he’s such a genius. He sent sketches and different coloured sequins across and for me, with my hair colour it really works; it’s exactly the same shade as my eyes.”
It was certainly a head-turner, some quarters referenced it as a “sparkly dinosaur”, and others applauded her for bringing the fun to the Grammys. Adding a sultry element to the dress was a thigh-grazing slit that showed just the right amount of skin.
