Did we miss that beauty trend? Lorde wears garish purple lipstick to pre-Grammy Awards brunch



She doesn't like to follow the crowd when it comes to style, so was New Zealand singer Lorde trying to create her own trend when she stepped out in bright purple lipstick?

The 17-year-old attended the Universal Music Brunch ahead of the Grammy Awards in Hollywood on Saturday and showcased her new make-up.

The Royals singer will be joining pop superstars such as Lady Gaga, One Direction and Taylor Swift at the Grammys in Los Angeles but had no signs of nerves over the weekend.

The teenager is set to perform on stage at Staples Center at the event and her debut record Pure Heroine has received a nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album.

She has also been nominated for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for Royals.

With so many nominations at such a young age, Lorde recently told Rolling Stone magazine: 'It's a really weird thing to write a song like Royals and then go through something like this, which changes your entire world and way of living and changes what you do every day.'

When speaking about today's modern music, the singer also said: 'Nothing is in one genre, nothing is easily defined.

'My first love is electronic music and then going to top 40 pop and hip-hop and weird pre-jazz records and taking from each of those and figuring out what was missing, what I wanted to hear in it.



'I think that's what people my age do', news.com. au reported her saying.

The self-described feminist has been posting outlandish fashion ideas for her Grammy gown on Instagram - poking fun of the red carpet hullabaloo.

And amidst her success, Lorde also has become cover girl for the January 2014 issue of Rolling Stone magazine, cementing her stardom on the music industry.
