Grammys 2011 List of Winners, Best and Worst Fashion Slideshow Links

The 53rd Annual Grammys 2011 were held last night (February 13) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and of course there were some sweet surprises (Herbie Hancock), shocking snubs (Justin Bieber, Eminem) and those who arrived determine to make an entrance (Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj).

Herbie Hancock remade John Lennon's 'Imagine' using an all-star cast including Pink, Seal and India.Arie (among others) and the result was a knock-out hit that beat perhaps more popular mainstream hits 'California Gurls', 'Airplanes' and 'Telephone' for the Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals award.

Surprise snubs included teen mega-star Justin Bieber who many thought would win the Best New Artist Award. Instead, Bieber lost out to Esperanza Spalding who is currently near or at the top of many search engines today!

Another surprise snub was Eminem's loss for Album of the Year ('Recovery'), that instead went to Arcade Fire's 'The Suburbs'. Eminem shouldn't be too disappointed, however, as he has won 13 Grammys during his career and took two home last night, including Best Rap Album ('Recovery') and Best Rap Solo Performance ('Not Afraid').

While we watched Lady Gaga arrive to the Grammys in an opaque egg, Nicki Minaj made her statement via an all leopard ensemble which she described as "lioness meets her cub meets fabulosity meets", etc. etc. etc. (You can view Gaga and Minaj' garb in the slideshows below.)

Regarding Grammys fashion last night, clearly Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, and Nicole Kidman stood out as best dressed, but since fashion is such a subjective area, you decide by looking at the following links of both best and worst dressed:
