Music’s biggest stars made a triumphant return to the red carpet at the Grammys in Los Angeles, bringing back the glamour and couture that had been missing during a year of pandemic lockdowns. The event was filled with a traditional fashion parade, featuring many of the industry’s top names.
Megan Thee Stallion, the rapper who walked away with two Grammy awards for Best New Artist and Best Rap Performance, stole the show with her vibrant orange strapless Dolce & Gabbana gown. The dress was a true showstopper, with a high leg slit, a dramatic bow on the back, and dazzling diamond embellishments.
Dua Lipa, one of the night’s top contenders, chose a barely-there gauzy spaghetti-strap Versace dress with a pastel butterfly bodice and cut-outs. During her performance, she surprised everyone by shedding a voluminous fuchsia cape to reveal a pink bikini, adding to the wow factor.
Doja Cat, the singer and rapper, paid tribute to Jennifer Lopez’s iconic plunging Versace gown from a previous Grammy ceremony. She rocked a Roberto Cavalli gown with a moto jacket bodice and a skirt made entirely of neon feathers, making a fashion statement of her own.
The band Haim coordinated their outfits with iridescent lavender Prada ensembles on the red carpet, showcasing their unique sense of style. However, they switched it up for their stage performance, donning black and gold ensembles that added a touch of rock and glamour to their act.
Phoebe Bridgers, the talented rocker, stayed true to her signature style by wearing a Thom Browne dress adorned with sequins, pearl beads, and crystals. She humorously revealed that the dress was the initial inspiration for her entire look, playfully admitting to “basically stealing” it.
Mask couture was also a significant feature of the evening, reflecting the ongoing impact of the pandemic. Taylor Swift wore a face covering with beautiful flower appliques that perfectly matched her Oscar de la Renta mini dress, exemplifying her attention to detail and fashion-forward approach.
The men of music didn’t shy away from making fashion statements either. Harry Styles, who won his first-ever Grammy, embraced his eccentricity by donning a leather jacket, matching pants, and a green boa during his performance. He later changed into a yellow-checked jacket and a purple boa, showcasing his unique sense of style and confidence.
Rapper DaBaby caught everyone’s attention on the red carpet with his wild patterned suit and a bold green and red hat. He continued to impress during his performance, switching into a white suit with studded gloves. And for his collaboration with Dua Lipa, he opted for a pale pink suit that perfectly matched her dreamy pastel look, highlighting their sense of unity and fashion coordination.
The return of the red carpet at the Grammys marked a significant moment in the fashion world, emphasizing the resurgence of glamour and bold fashion choices following a year of subdued events. The stars brought their A-game, showcasing their unique styles and creativity, proving that music’s biggest night is still a platform for fashion creativity and self-expression.
