Glam fashions light up the night
11/04/2005From plunging necklines to thrift-store mishmash, the fashions worn on the green carpet at the 6th Annual Latin Grammy Awards seemed to come straight off the racks of either Hugo Boss or the hipper Urban Outfitters.
Singer-songwriter Bebe preened for the cameras in her signature hand-me-down garb, a theme carried by some in the rocker crowd - especially the guys, who favored the simple sneaker, jeans and sport-coat look.
With a crown of braids, San Diego-born Julieta Venegas took the throwback look one step further, wearing a pink retro-style knee-length pencil dress and patched shrug. She literally wore the designer on her arm - one of Los Angeles' hottest stylists, Louis Verdad, her companion for the evening.
Elsewhere on the carpet, somebody forgot to tell the Miami-based alt-rocker JD Natasha that Halloween was over. The usually trendy-looking teen opted for more of a "Bride of Frankenstein" look, with a blond mohawk and slinky dress. And Italian pop artist Laura Pausini, with her heavily lined eyes and long formless dress, looked like she belonged in "The Addams Family."
But that's OK. There was plenty of glamour to go around.
Telenovela star Patricia Manterola appeared like a bronzed beauty in her over-the-shoulder cocoa-color sequined dress.
Argentine singer Gizelle D'Cole wore a form-fitting, floor-length dress covered in quarter-size gold sequins. But it was elegance that Salma Hayek was after, opting for a simple black Dolce & Gabbana with lace overlay, her hair rolling down her back.
And for more than a few, clothes were much more than a fashion statement. Jorge Villamizar, lead singer of the rock group Bacilos, plucked out of his closet the same plain black blazer he wore when he won at the 2003 Grammys, adding a loud powder pink-and-blue-striped tie to the lucky, all black outfit.
Norteo singer Michael Salgado twisted the image of the regional singer's ornate suits with his black blazer glittered in gold, calling his look a "rocker with banda," referring to the regional music genre.
The sibling duo Akwid balked at all the high-fashion sense, wearing starched swap meet-purchased T-shirts and baseball jerseys. One brother wore a red Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim jersey while the other wore a blue Los Angeles Dodgers jersey. Reggaeton star Don Omar flashed a bit, with thick silver chains, a gray pinstriped pant and vest suit, and a gaudy silver blazer to accent his pastel tie. Some attendees, however, simply didn't take any chances, wearing rosaries around their necks.
