It's no debate that Golden, Texas native Kacey Musgraves was a big winner last night at the Grammys. What's a little more uncertain is the critical reception surrounding her two looks of the night. For the red carpet, she donned a nude-colored Armani Privé gown featuring lace tiers decorated with gold and silver Swarovski crystals. The dress had People, US Weekly and E! raving. However, the very short skirt and halter combo she wore for her Follow Your Arrow performance was a bit more costume-like and drew some ambivalent responses, save for People who posited that her light-up boots might just have been the Best Accessory of the night.
