Why is Beyonce always hit or miss with her red carpet looks? She seems to inevitably show up in the sparkliest and tightest, over-the-top gowns she can get her hands on. Her look for the Grammys last night fit that gaudy mold to a tee. The glue-on glittery blue chiffon explosion made me cringe a little and had me wondering when she’s going to start wearing more classic couture, instead of costumey getups off stage.

With years of experience at award shows and a design label (a la House of Dereon) under her belt, isn’t about time that she figured out that bigger isn’t always better? At least her amazing performance with the legendary Tina Turner more than made up for her poor performance on the red carpet.
