Grammy Award Glitz

A host of stunning popstars lit up the Grammy awards red carpet on Sunday night wearing sparkling dresses.

Taylor Swift turned heads in her full-length silver glittering Gucci gown, despite complaining that it was "a bit scratchy!"

The singing sensation showed off her incredible physique in the column number, topping off the look with a simple ponytail and smokey eyes.

Another star sparkling at the annual awards ceremony was Rita Ora.

The British popstar, who posed up with boyfriend Calvin Harris, turned heads in her metallic green Lanvin number. She had eschewed her usual floor-sweeping creations for the short dress.

Pregnant Ciara showed off her blossoming baby bump  in a beautiful gold Emilio Pucci dress. She revealed that it had taken some time to make sure the fit of the dress was perfect.

"My good friend Peter Dundee did all kinds of fun things to make it happen," she told E!’s Guiliana Rancic on the red carpet. "Three to four fittings were mandatory."

She also spoke about her pregnancy revealing that she feels "really good, really comfortable. I just ate a club sandwich and fries!"
