Given that tonight is The Grammys, we were curious whether Malandrino would tune in to see the (typically) wilder award show fashions. "I don't know. You know, I'm quite exhausted," Malandrino said. "But I enjoy the Grammys and think it's very interesting to know what [the artists] are wearing." As for whose outfits she was most excited to see, Malandrino was diplomatic: "I'm very friendly with a lot of them," she said. But when pressed for specifics, the designer cited her love for "Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys, Beyoncé and Katy Perry," adding, "These are the women that I really feel are directional today." And what does she make of newcomer and controversy-magnet, Lana Del Rey and her scrutinized style? "Uhh...interesting," she replied before her face quickly lit up as a new idea popped into her head. "Minaj, I love! I love Nicki Minaj!"
