At the Grammys on Sunday, music’s top talents arrived in eye-catching metallic dresses, vibrant Barbiecore pink outfits, and timeless white ensembles, often featuring revealing cuts that showcased plenty of skin.
While the Oscars typically embrace a specific style of Hollywood glamour, the Grammys are renowned for their bold and daring fashion statements. Over the years, the prestigious music event has seen the emergence of iconic looks, such as Jennifer Lopez’s memorable plunging green Versace gown from 2000.
Let’s take a closer look at the fashion choices of the A-listers who attended the Grammys in Los Angeles.
Metallics –
If you want to shine at the Grammys, metallics are a strong bet.
Pop princess Miley Cyrus, who scored two Grammys for her hit “Flowers,” made quite the red carpet entrance in a barely-there gold metal naked dress by John Galliano for Maison Margiela and big, in-your-face hair.
But when she accepted her award from Mariah Carey, she had changed into a black sparkly halter jumpsuit. She changed twice more during the event.
Dua Lipa, a nominee for her huge smash “Dance the Night” from the summer blockbuster “Barbie” movie, wore a low-cut floor-length Courreges silver gown with long sleeves and slashed cutouts, her red hair wavy and flowing.
On the carpet, she said she felt like a “warrior.”
Jon Batiste, the sole man in the running for Album of the Year, wore a sparkly silver suit with a pleated kilt over her trousers.
And Victoria Monet, who won three Grammys including the coveted Best New Artist prize, dazzled in a copper Versace corset dress with a train, a trend seen on several red carpets this season.
Barbie World –
A lot has been written about who was and who was not nominated for Oscars for “Barbie,” but the movie racked up 11 Grammy nominations as well — and has influenced showbiz red carpets for months.
Billie Eilish — who won two Grammys for her poignant “What Was I Made For?” from the film — rocked a pink and black Barbie bomber jacket made by Chrome Hearts over a white shirt, black tie, and black trousers.
Icelandic singer Laufey, a winner for best traditional pop vocal album, looked sweet in a sleeveless pink dress with black polka dots and strategic cutouts.
And the Blind Boys of Alabama, winners of the Grammy for Best Roots gospel album, rolled up in matching Barbie pink three-piece suits, showing that a Barbie world is for men too.
Women in white –
Olivia Rodrigo, multiple nominees on the strength of her sophomore album “GUTS,” glittered in a slinky white vintage Versace column dress adorned with silver sequins and tiny red hearts.
The three members of boygenius — Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus — bounded on stage during the pre-ceremony to accept their three Grammys in white Thom Browne suits.
The queen of the music world, Taylor Swift, rocked a strapless white Schiaparelli gown, opened up to her hip to reveal lots of legs, to claim her record-breaking fourth Album of the Year prize.
Sleek black opera gloves, a watch choker, several silver necklaces, and a classic red lipstick completed the glamorous and elegant look.
Some observers saw in Swift’s look a coded message: the album cover of her “Reputation” was black and white.
But onstage, she announced the release of her next album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” on April 19. When she dropped an image of the album cover on social media, it too was…. black and white.
