Loads of sparkles and shine at the Grammys this year. A good number of female celebrities were seen dazzling the red carpet in metallic golden, silver and extremely shimmery evening gowns. Taking the word ‘star’ in a somewhat literal sense, they did shine on! Here are some prominent appearances at the Staples Centre, Los Angeles, in this style :
Leann Rimes in Reem Acra Metallic Draped Gown
Leann Rimes’ silver dress was something worth a notice. The V-neck wrap dress shine from its surface as well as its drapes. The short single-sleeve on the left was an element of interest added to the gown by its designer Reem Acra. Leann accessorized with Ippolita 18-karat “Rock Kandy” Drop Earrings in Brown Shell.
Heidi Klum's Golden Metallic Gown at the 2011 Grammys
Heidi Klum was looking every inch her glamorous self in the front slit golden gown by Julien MacDonalds. The dress featured a deep neckline as well as cut out sleeves. The long slit in the front was on purpose, however, to show the amazing and colorful Louboutin heels she had on, a fresh take on the heels typically worn with such outfits. She was minus accessories and sported a short bob hairdo.
Jennifer Lopez's Silver Metallic Dress at the 2011 Grammy Awards
Jennifer Lopez was upholding her tradition of wearing a short and catchy dress to the red carpet. Revealing her legs and curves, the flashy sequined dress was a creation of Emilio Pucci. Lopez carried off the look with a matching clutch bag and heels.
Selena Gomez's Metallic Gown at the Grammys 2011
Selena Gomez’s choice light metallic gown by J. Mendel was in contrast to Miley Cyrus’ loud Cavalli dress. She was also carrying a matching clutch by Judith Leiber and heels by Brian Atwood. The dark wavy tresses and pink lips gave the damsel a very defined look. Lorraine Schwartz was also her choice for jewels.

Another celebrity looking glam in gold was Kim Kardashian. The shimmery gown was designed by Kaufman Franco. She did not hesitate putting equally striking accessories on with her dress.

Accentuated eyes and wavy dark hair were another highlight of her overall appearance this year.
Miranda Lambert in Golden Metallic Gown at the 2011 Grammys
Miranda Lambert didn’t take many chances with her glittery gown, except for the unusual neckline and back details. Everything about this red carpet dress was formal and elegant.

Miranda went all the way to having metallic silver nail-paint on to make the look complete.
