The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards ceremony, held at Staples Center in Los Angeles last night, was frequently overwhelming, sometimes underwhelming, and almost altogether disappointing. From WTF-worthy winners (i.e. Lady Antebellum) to WTFYW musicians (i.e. Nicki Minaj) to, simply put, Lady Gaga in an egg, the event expectedly hit a number of sour notes. But with every cloud, not to be mistaken with Ms. Minaj's hair last night, there's silver lining. At major award shows, that silver lining is always the best-dressed, best-looking chicks hitting the red carpet. So, stop Google-searching Esperanza Spalding and check out last night's ten hottest Grammy attendees.
Tia Carrere
10. TIA CARRERE
For those of you wondering why Cassandra Wong from Wayne's World was at the Grammys, it's because her album, Huana Ke Aloha, was nominated, and ultimately won, for Best Hawaiian Music Album. For those of you wondering how the MILF still bodies girls half her age, that's still a mystery to us, too.
Jennifer Hudson
9. JENNIFER HUDSON
The former American Idol contestant and Oscar winner has come a long way in her career and her personal life. Those successes are undeniably reflected in how stunning she looked during her participation in the Aretha Franklin tribute last night. #dreamgirl
Eva Longoria
8. EVA LONGORIA
Longoria is newly single and only at the Grammys to get everyone excited about that. Her strategy for maximum exposure: introduce Justin Bieber. Well played.
Heidi Klum
7. HEIDI KLUM
Seal took home two trophies tonight: the first was the award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals, for "Imagine," and the other, of course, was Heidi Klum.
Naya Rivera
6. NAYA RIVERA
As a member of this generation's answer to the obsoletion of boy bands and girl groups, i.e. the cast of Glee, Naya brings tons of sex appeal to her otherwise Gleeky crowd. Although the cast lost for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group to Train, this former Hooters girl still wins.
Selena Gomez
5. SELENA GOMEZ
Disclaimer: Gomez is only 18. Still, we're allowed to envy Justin Bieber for allegedly dating the arguably best-dressed Grammy presenter on the red carpet. Come to think of it, the Biebz is legally too young to date her. Dibs?
Katy Perry
4. KATY PERRY
Mrs. Russell Brand looked like heaven-on-earth in her white dress and angel wings. We forget that she didn't take home any Grammys; all we can remember is that our teenage dreams materialized during her performance.
Rihanna
3. RIHANNA
We were so busy trying to see into the sheer between the stripes that we didn't realize Rihanna looked like she was wrapped in a white pipe-cleaner. She made up for it, though, with her frilly red mini during her performance of "What's My Name?"
Kim Kardashian
2. KIM KARDASHIAN
We figured it out—Kim Kardashian always dresses sexily to make the audience forget to wonder why she was even at the [insert irrelevant-to-Kim's-career award show here] in the first place.
Jennifer Lopez
1. JENNIFER LOPEZ
J.Lo and her husband Marc Anthony had the responsibility of presenting the second biggest award of the night, Record of the Year. That's probably as far into that category as you can recall. In case you missed it, Lady Antebellum won. Yeah, it was anti-climatic. You can continue staring at Lopez now.
