We’re always excited to see who’s wearing who during red carpet events. This year, CBS officials issued a strict dress code to Grammy Awards night attendees to keep the skin-showing to a minimum.
Despite the party-pooping memo, there were still a number of divas who violated the dress code. But there were also several ladies who kept things covered and remained classy.
These three beautiful ladies rocked totally different looks on the Grammys red carpet and we love each one of them. We also love their purse choices for the night – glitzy, expensive, and red-carpet-worthy.
1. Beyonce’s Swarovski Gemma Clutch
Miss Sasha Fierce pulled off the monochromatic look with a very edgy and modern jumpsuit from Osman. The form-fitting jumpsuit accentuated her curves but the look was still very streamlined and classy.
She paired her custom-made Swarovski clutch with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry:

2. Florence Welch’s Givenchy Abstract Flower Minaudiere
This girl is fearless! Florence had on a very risky, fashion-forward ensemble – a couture Givenchy emerald green gown that had seriously bumpy ridges.
The amphibian-like dress, although a little unconventional, fitted perfectly to her body. She paired it with a matching custom-made Givenchy clutch:

3. Jennifer Lopez’s Jimmy Choo Envelope Clutch
We’re guessing J.Lo didn’t get the memo or maybe she got it and just shrugged it off. The curvy celeb pulled an Angelina Jolie pose with her thigh-high slit which showed off her toned legs.
She wore a sexy black dress from Anthony Vaccarello, Tom Ford sandals, and a Jimmy Choo envelope clutch:
