Country star Miranda Lambert channeled her Kentucky Derby look this weekend from a world-famous hat expert: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge! “She definitely looked to Kate Middleton for her Derby hat style,” her stylist Tiffany Gifford told InStyle.com of her Giovannio New York topper. “Miranda specifically asked for a fascinator this year because the big hat she wore last year was so heavy it hurt her neck! She loved the little cage on the front because it was just the right amount of retro.” The black sequin-covered topper complemented her printed Lela Rose strapless dress, while red Charlotte Olympia pumps and Colette jewels rounded out her accessories.

After the last trophy was handed out at the Staples Center, Fergie, Lana Del Rey, John Legend and more of the industry’s hottest stars made a beeline to the famed Chateau Marmont Hotel for a post-Grammy bash hosted by the Warner Music Group and InStyle. “This party is so crowded!” declared Blake Shelton (in Ermenegildo Zegna), who made the rounds with wife Miranda Lambert (in Atelier Pavoni). After stopping by the Champagne Bar for a glass of Beau Joie bubbly, guests rocked out to a performance by Bruno Mars. Luckily for late arrivals like Paul McCartney, the dance floor stayed open well into the early hours of the morning. See more party photos in the gallery!

What do you wear to sing in front of millions of people? Miranda Lambert had to make that intense wardrobe decision when she sang “America the Beautiful” for the opening of Super Bowl XLVI. Lambert joined her country star (and The Voice judge) husband Blake Shelton in a black leather Jitrois jacket, red Current/Elliott jeans, Alice + Olivia pumps, dramatic Lauren Craft chandelier earrings, and Loree Rodkin jewels. “I wanted something fun and rocking—red pants are cool!” Lambert told InStyle.com exclusively. “And my earrings were my favorite.” Tiffany Gifford, Lambert’s stylist, said she was going for comfort. “The jacket hugged Miranda’s curves perfectly,” Gifford told us. “Nothing says ‘I am ready for some football’ like a little leather and bling!” What did you think of her performance look?
