(ROUGH CUT - NO REPORTER NARRATION)
STORY: Music's top performers hit the red carpet for the 55th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday (February 10).
Adele posed for photos in a vintage-style, floral ensemble with matching shoes - a stray for the singer, who usually chooses to wear black on red carpets.
Jennifer Lopez took a page from Angelina Jolie's book - choosing a black dress with a mile-high slit, revealing most of her right leg. Also choosing black was pop sensation Carly Rae Jepsen, wearing a glossy Roberto Cavalli dress, while Taylor Swift went white, with a Grecian-style gown with silver accents.
Beyonce decided against a gown, looking very hip in a back and white, fitted jumpsuit, Rihanna walked the carpet in a surprisingly conservative red, floor length gown, while Katy Perry wasn't afraid to show cleavage in her form-fitting, long sleeved, sea green dress.
On the men's side, Justin Timberlake looked dashing in a Tom Ford tux, Australian singer Gotye rocked a classic tux with a skinny tie, while rock group Mumford and Sons went a little more casual, choosing a mix of jeans and jackets.
