2010 Grammy Fashion Recap: Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Fergie and More

Ryan Seacrest, Jay Manuel and Giuliana Rancic hosted E! network's "Live From The Red Carpet: The 2010 Grammy Awards" Sunday evening, and gave us a fun sneak-peek at Grammy night fashion before the big awards show!

'Glee' starlet, Lea Michele, a presenter at tonight's Grammy's, expressed her excitement on meeting Ryan Seacrest and working on her hit show in a black-but-bubbly, one-shouldered Romona Keveza frock that featured a flirty, feathered skirt.

Funny lady, Kathy Griffin, playfully bantered for a bit with Seacrest in a pale yellow Carolina Herrera mermaid gown, with her shock of red hair under-styled nicely in loose waves. Kathy Griffin is up for a 'Best Comedy Album' Grammy for her release, "Suckin' It For The Holidays".

Giuliana Rancic also got to chat up Ms Griffin, who gushed about her nomination, "This is a big deal for me!" When Giuliana asked Griffin how she maintains her shapely and toned figure, the diva Ms. Griffin responded "Frustration and starvation" are keeping her fit!

"General" Larry Platt made a rather lacking (sorry, General...but its over) musical appearance on the Grammy's red carpet, performing his now-viral number, "Pants On The Ground", with a fistful of belts in his hands. Yawn.

Rapper Common looked dapper in a gray, tailored suit, crisp white shirt and scarlet scarf that featured white polka-dots. As Common spoke with Giuliana about some of his peers, he described Kanye West as "misunderstood", "a great friend", and as having "a great heart".

Jessica Simpson could be seen looking healthy and toned on the 2010 Grammy Red Carpet in a bright-white, ultra-fitted strapless mini-dress. Fitted mini-dresses were a fairly common theme for ladies throughout the evening. Strapless, one-shouldered and other shoulder-baring looks also ruled the evening, though a few female stars opted for long-sleeved ensembles.

Giuliana caught up with musician Harry Connick Jr., and his wife, who were using the Grammy's as a "date night" away from their typical parenting duties. The Connicks' wore all black and their fashion impact fell flat, overall.

Pop sensation and new daddy, Ricky Martin, looked sleek and styled in a fitted leather jacket, black button-down and skinny black tie. Martin sported a bit of sexy facial scruff and freshly buzzed hair as he spoke with Ryan Seacrest.

Indie rock scene brats (who actually seem rather polite), MGMT, spoke with Giuliana about their Best New Artist nomination for tonight's Grammy Awards. The band donned plaid and geometrically-patterned suits, tussled hair, and their best game face for the evening's festivities.

Giuliana also spoke briefly with the guys in the Zac Brown Band, who are Grammy nominees also in the running for the Best New Artist award.

Lady Gaga appeared at the 2010 Grammy Awards heavily made-up and in stunning translucent-gothic-fairy fashion, with an industrial-feeling, completely over-the-top white gown and shockingly yellow-blonde faux locks, teased BIG, to complete her statement. Her gown featured a tight bodice around her tiny waist, what looked like structured ribbons of, well, ribbon, encircling her body. The construction of the gown featured daringly-angled hoop skirts which appeared as if they were made of spun sugar. Even as Gaga stood fully upright, her sugar-coated skirts of cosmic-crazy just about showed her, um, little monster, to anyone who dared to look.

Lady Gaga carried a "star burst" prop of the same shimmering, space-age material that her dress was composed of, and wore dangerously high, platform heels. The result? Lady Gaga's Grammy look was what one might expect if an episode of both "Ace Of Cakes" and "Project Runway" collided with a third-grade class re-construction of the solar system in 3-D, with just a touch of pin-up porn appeal. In other words, exactly what we would expect.

Ryan Seacrest met up briefly with Katy Perry, who disappointed in a dowdy-looking Zac Posen frock. Her dress looked like a figure-skater's nude-bodysuit with gold-appliqué flowers stuck on randomly.

Fergie, of The Black-Eyed Peas, wore a cute, sapphire-blue mini-dress, which featured an asymmetrical line of gold embellishment that ran strikingly across her body.
