Grammy Style: Trends, Top Picks and Trainwrecks

What did you all think of the Grammy fashion this year? Were you wowed? Shocked? Appalled? Or, like me, were you a bit...bored?

I feel like musicians have a license to push the boundaries of fashion -- in fact, you could argue they have an obligation! They are at the forefront of self-expression and creativity. They should be taking risks and living up to their reputations as influencers of style. This year, I felt like most Grammy attendees fell short and played it too safe. Save for a few standouts, no one really surprised.

A couple of trends did emerge that I think we will see in other fashionable venues -- powerful gold jewelry, anyone?

And then of course, there were those who took a risk but paid the price. Click through to find out who set the trends, who stepped up to the style plate and who fell hard. And let me know, who was your favorite? What trend will you be trying this season? Who made your worst-dressed list?
