Latin Grammy fashions bold and glam(NSI News Source Info) November 14, 2008: While the Latin Grammy Awards honored the stars of Latin music, the celebrities who walked the red carpet outside the Toyota Center on Thursday night paid tribute to their favorite Latin fashion designers.
"We, as a culture, tend do over do things," said Rodner Figueroa, style expert for Univision, wearing a slim-fitting white tuxedo by designer Carlos Campos of Honduras. "I tried to let people know you have to edit. But we are very committed to supporting our Latin designers and their work."
Singer Alejandra Guzmán dazzled the media with a peach mini dress accented with ostrich feathers created by designer Daniel Andrade of Guadalajara.
"I love designs that are shocking, sexy and beautiful," said Guzmán. At a Latin Grammy tribute to Gloria Estefan Wednesday night, Guzmán raised eyebrows with a revealing mini dress made of leather and fabric that looked much like duck tape applied to the appropriate areas. "It's very unusual." she said of the dress. "That's what I like. Not to be normal."
Singer Patricia Manterola wore a stunning black strapless lace gown by Venezuelan designer Nicolai Felizola with Gucci shoes. She said the dress was inspired by Mexican actress Maria Felix, who died in 2002.
And pixie blonde singer Kany García, who won best new artist, wore strapless purple gown by Puerto Rican designer Louis Antonio.
Unlike red-carpet events such as the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes, where Hollywood stars take the fashion spotlight, many on the red carpet Thursday night were media celebrities — not entertainers.
"The moment I saw the dress I knew that's what I wanted to wear to the Latin Grammys," said popular Univision anchor María Elena Salinas, who wore an elegant one-shoulder Valentino gown accented with crystals."It's very elegant dress. And I'm a big fan of simple elegance."
There were a few fashion flubs, such multiple Grammy winner Juanes in a faded jean jacket who zoomed passed the media only to shake hands with fans. And Flex wore a large black jacket with large skull on the back designed by Mexican designer Anjie Estima.
And there were trends — a lot of purple and skinny ties; even Houston Mayor Bill White arrived wearing a purple tie.
"The only time I think about fashion is on the red carpet," said singer David Cavasos in a blue Versace suit.
Buika, who was nominated for album of the year, was a standout in an African-inspired tube dress, shawl and headwrap.
"I wanted to bring Africa with me," she said.
John Legend, who was scheduled to perform with Juanes, wore a classic gray suit by Calvin Klein. And Gloria Estefan's pal and singer Jon Secada was in Hugo Boss.
"I love getting dressed up for these things. It's a treat," he said.
