Music’s brightest stars on Sunday rocked the red carpet at the Grammys, music’s biggest night in their
sexiest, skin-baring ensembles.
While the Oscars are known for embracing a classic brand of Hollywood
glamour, the Grammys are daring: some of the most iconic fashion looks have
emerged at the storied gala, such as Jennifer Lopez’s plunging green Versace
gown in 2000.
Here’s a look at what the A-listers wore to the Grammys in Los Angeles:
Music royalty
Beyonce may be looking for her first Album of the Year win, but rival
Taylor Swift is vying to extend her own record with a fifth victory in the top
category — and she was dressed to impress in a sexy, sparkly red one-shoulder
mini-dress.
Red is the title of one of her albums, but it is also the signature color
of boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs. Speculation ran rampant on
social media about the message she was trying to convey.
Her naughty thigh chain with a “T” charm also begged the question — did it
stand for Taylor, Travis or both?
High drama
Breakout star Chappell Roan, up for multiple Grammys, is known for her
theatrical style, and she did not disappoint.
She hit the red carpet in a vintage look from Jean-Paul Gaultier inspired
by Edgar Degas’s depiction of ballet dancers.
The pop singer wore a fascinator to match the bright yellow and baby blue
printed gown with dramatic black bows on the shoulders.
Her makeup was heavy, and her signature red curls flowed loosely down her
back. Her nails were long and golden — like the statuettes she hopes to take
home.
Lady Gaga, who is also known for being sartorially dramatic (meat dress,
anyone?), went for goth chic in a long-sleeved black corseted Vivienne
Westwood gown with a full skirt and matching jet-black hair.
Not demure, not mindful
Besides Roan, other members of music’s new generation of pop stars didn’t
let their red carpet moments go to waste, rocking decidedly sexy looks.
Sabrina Carpenter, who won her first Grammy in the pre-gala ceremony, wore
a backless baby blue JW Anderson floor-length halter gown with a feather
peplum and hem.
Her blonde locks were swept into a come-hither curly up-do that conjured up
images of Marilyn Monroe.
Charli XCX, who scooped up three Grammys before the main gala began, wore a
gray Gaultier gown with a corset bodice and oodles of frothy chiffon —
definitely very brat.
And Olivia Rodrigo slayed in a daring black halter gown with a plunging
neckline and a nearly bare back, with just a few straps holding it together.
Head scratchers
Rapper Kanye West, who has 24 Grammys to his name and was nominated for
best rap song this year, arrived on the red carpet with his wife Bianca
Censori, who was practically naked in a sheer body stocking that left
everything in view.
Singer Willow Smith, the daughter of Hollywood couple Will Smith and Jada
Pinkett-Smith rolled up in a bejeweled bikini and a tuxedo-style jacket.
Her actor brother Jaden had a giant black castle hat encasing his head.
And singer Joy Villa, who has made no secret of her support for President
Donald Trump with her looks over the years, wore a red baseball cap that bore
a resemblance to the ubiquitous MAGA hats at his rallies.
Villa’s chapeau, paired with a slinky golden gown, simply said: “The Hat
Stays On.”(AFP)
