The 2020 Grammys have come and gone. Sunday, January 27, 2020, there was lots of beauty, glitz and glam.

For this post, I’m focusing on two beauties to discuss some trends that are easy to incorporate this upcoming bridal season.n The award shows always give us some great takeaways.

Let’s talk about Demi Lovato first. Demi looked absolutely ethereal in her stunning white gown. The complimentary combination of white with silver shimmer was perfect for television. Her hair and makeup styling was perfect.

Lovato’s emotional performance was touching, to say the least. I commend her for being able to push through and sing the way she did. It was not an easy task. She later recalled memories of the moment and how she reflected on how far she’d come. Emotions were high for many.

Sunday was a shocking day for many of us. We were all processing the news of the untimely passing of (former) Laker and history maker Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gia and seven other amazing people who are no longer with us, sending shockwaves that could be felt around the world. What is typically a celebratory occasion had a somberness that I don’t recall experiencing since the passing of Whitney Houston. This is a tragic and major loss for the world. They will all be sorely missed.

The loss was reflected in speeches of the night’s winners, like Lizzo. In contrast to Demi, Lizzo wore black when she received her Grammy for Best Solo Performance Winner. It was her first Grammy win. She looked great in her sparkly black gown. It had just the right touch of sparkle. I also liked her makeup and hair as well. They really complemented her gown.

The two ladies had similarities in that while these gowns both contrasted, they were similar in that they had sparkle and showed the perfect amount of skin. The makeup complemented vs. competed with the hair and gowns. This combo is a great takeaway for brides for the upcoming season.
