Of COURSE Justin Timberlake would show up in a suit and tie to the 2013 Grammys!

Ever since Justin Timberlake announced he was "ready" to start playing music again, we've been in a haze of JT-themed bliss, which has only escalated into a crippling case of full-blownsie Justin re-obsession with the release of his brand-new single, "Suit & Tie," AND new album announcement. We're also guessing Justin hasn't been seen without a suit and tie since announcing his return (we've had fun picturing him in suit and tie-patterned jammies for bed and a suit and tie t-shirt for gym days). So, given his new penchant for penguin suits, it only make sense that Justin would wear -- duh -- a suit and tie on the Grammys red carpet. Obviously he's this decked out because he's the most literal dude of the night, he's got an album to promote, and because duh.

The Grammys performer was snapped coming down the 2013 Grammys red carpet in an ultra shiny, ultra PERFECT suit. And Justin looked pretty pleased with himself too, judging by this meta photo of him taking iPhone selfies (he could've been taking pictures of the crowd, but we prefer to believe he was documenting himself, because wouldn't you if you were Justin Timberlake?) Can't say we blame him there -- if we looked that awesome in a suit, we'd feel compelled to take multiple pictures of ourselves too and then post them on MySpace, because that's Justin's social network of choice (even though he was in the movie about Facebook, but whatever). On the other hand, we were sorrrrt of hoping he'd wear a hooded sleeping bag, which are definitely all the rage these days amongst Justins, but there's always next year.
