While there may have been songs and stardom, style was lacking at the 2009 Grammy Awards.
Zooey Deschenel's frock looked like she made it in high-school home-ec, Jennifer Hudson's would have been OK if she haden't rucked her dinner napkin into her collar and Paula Abdul reinvoked superfriend's Isis.
While Gwenyth Paltrow
tried to be modern by paring opaque tights with her cocktail dress, she fell short.
As for those who at least passed: Miley Cyrus' black Max Azria was chic, albeit a bit mature for her. Audrina Partridge's teal gown was pretty, but accentuated her too-thin physique-a few more pounds would have made the dress more flattering.
