It is with a broken heart that we say goodbye to a beloved French fashion designer. Count Huber de Givenchy who founded the house of Givenchy passed away Saturday, leaving behind a fashion legacy. Givenchy who was famous for designing the personal and professional wardrobe of non other then his close friend and muse Audrey Hepburn. He also designed clothing for the First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, or as she is also know as Jackie O.
Givenchy started his fashion career in 1945, his first designs were done for Jacques Fath. In 1946 he went on to do designs for Robert Piguet and Lucien Lelong, while working along side the still-unknown Pierre Balmain and Christian Dior.
At 25 Givenchy was the youngest designer of the progressive Paris Fashion scene. In 1953 he met his muse and life long friend Audrey Hepburn during the shooting of the film Sabrina. He went on and designed her iconic Black dress she wore in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Audrey became the face of Givenchy fashion and Givenchy fragrance.
Count Hubert de Givenchy passed away Saturday March 10 in his sleep at the Renaissance Chateau near Paris at the age of 91 years old.
Happy Tuesday everyone! We are back up and running bright and early this morning. Thank goodness for all the coffee!!! Have a fabulous week everyone stay beautiful xoxo
Last night at Madison Square Gardens, the 60th annual Grammy Awards were held. I don't know about you, but to me this years awards were on the boring side. For the 60th I was hoping for a definite show stopper award show, but that was not the case for this years Grammy's. Music's biggest night went on for what felt like forever just kind of dragged on! However there were some amazing moments in the show that has everyone talking this morning!
Kendrick Lamar opened the show with a few quick cameo's from Dave Chappelle. To tell you the honest truth I did not understand a word Kendrick was saying. At the beginning it looked as if he was looking at a teleprompter for the lyrics to his song? Thankfully the opening was saved by Lady Gaga with her emotional tribute to her late aunt Joanne while singing Joanne and A Million Reasons. Kesha & friends gave the performance of a lifetime with her song Pray. Kesha's raw emotion gave me goosebumps as she used her vocal power to push through tears. Cyndi Lauper, Camila Cabello, Andra Day, Julia Michaels, Bebe Rexha and the Resistance Revival Chorus joined Kesha on stage. Of course can't forget to mention Sir Elton John and Miley Cyrus's performance "Tiny Dancer". This coming just days after Sir Elton John announced his retirement going into his final tour. Miley looked like a princess in her burgundy gown just flawless! A beautiful group of country superstars provided one of the most emotional performances of the night. Maren Morris, Eric Church and the Brothers Osborne delivered a tearful rendition of Eric Claptons "Tears in Heaven" as tribute to the 59 victims of the Las Vegas shooting. Jay-Z entered the show as top nominee, but it was Bruno Mars and Kendrick Lamar who left the nights biggest winners! Bruno Mars won for Song of the Year, Best R&B Album, Record of the Year and and Album of the Year!
This award show was hard to choose best and worst dressed. The fashion was mediocre I was just not wowed. There are a few outfits that I was loving though. Like Lady Gaga, how she wore a wrap skirt on the Red Carpet and took the skirt off and she then had a lace bodysuit on for the remainder of the show. Another look that I loved was Heidi Klum's straight off the runway Ashi Studio gown.

1. Lady Gaga - Armani
