The red carpet at the 51st annual Grammy Awards on Sunday was just the right mix of sparkle, glamour and sophistication. That was the problem.

Many stars were picture-perfect, but the fashions generally lacked the free spirit that typically sets the Grammys apart from other shows during the crammed awards season.

There was Jennifer Hudson in a fashion-savvy white, silver and black color-blocked cocktail dress; Sheryl Crow in a slinky one-shoulder electric blue gown by Toni Maticevski; and Taylor Swift embracing her sexier side in a plunging V-neck black number by Kaufman Franco.

Fantasia conveyed a sultry vibe in a silver halter dress, and Jordin Sparks' custom-made black dress by designer Debra Davenport had a subtle silver floral pattern and a curlicue at the bust.

Katy Perry wore a skintight, blush-pink dress with ruffles down the front.

"So I did have a previous dress ready to go tonight that might have ended up 'worst dressed'. But it came in the mail, because I had it custom-made of course - because I didn't want anyone wearing that dress, ever - and it wasn't right. And it was the day before the Grammys."
