Grammy Stars Ooze Sex Appeal, Show Skin On The Red Carpet

US television network CBS may have warned stars not to show too much skin on stage Sunday at the Grammys, but A-listers tested the limits on the red carpet in body-conscious, revealing gowns.



Jennifer Lopez, pushed the dress code to the edge with a daring black dress that covered most – but not all of her. “They didn’t say anything about leg!” she said , her toned bare leg and shoulder on full display in her asymmetrical Anthony Vaccarello ensemble.

The letter continued: “Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic. Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples.” 

 

Katy Perry clearly did not get the memo, strutting her stuff in a skin-tight cleavage-baring mint green dress, saying she was inspired by the retro glam of Priscilla Presley’s look in the 1970s. 

Rihanna opted for a body-skimming sheer red dress by Azzedine Alaia, with bright red lips to match.  

Pop princess Taylor Swift glittered in a winter white goddess gown from J. Mendel, complete with silver accents at the neck and bustline and a daring slit in the front.

Oscar winner Nicole Kidman, on the arm of singer-husband Keith Urban, wore a sleeveless gold Vera Wang gown.

One-time “American Idol” Carrie Underwood opted for a strapless black Roberto Cavalli with a sheer skirt.

Adele, the big winner at last year’s Grammys with six trophies, left her usual basic black at home but followed the rules, opting for a bold red floral Valentino dress with long sleeves and a conservative knee-length hem.
