Music’s biggest night delivered fashion without boundaries

On Sunday night, the 68th Annual Grammy Awards took over the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, and as always, the arrivals proved that Grammys fashion exists in a category entirely its own.

The Grammys have always been the wild card of awards season. While other red carpets often lean polished and predictable, this is the night where fashion becomes daring, loud, and occasionally unhinged in the best possible way.

ROSÉ & Bruno Mars Open the Grammys in Monochrome Heat

ROSÉ and Bruno Mars kicked off the Grammys with a charged performance of “APT.,” instantly setting the tone for the night. Nominated for three awards, the track hit hard as the duo appeared in crisp black-and-white looks — ROSÉ in a sharp white tank, tie, and tailored trousers, Mars on electric guitar at her side. Within minutes, the arena was on its feet, their chemistry effortless, the energy undeniable. A fashion-clean, rock-charged opening that felt as bold as it looked.

Where Rules Do Not Apply

Sartorially speaking, there are few rules on the Grammys red carpet. Artists arrive in couture gowns or denim, tuxedos or hoodies layered beneath tailoring. Feathers, lace, sequins, and sheer silhouettes coexist effortlessly. It is a space where elegance meets rebellion, and where fashion feels deeply personal.

From couture craftsmanship to fearless self expression, the Grammys red carpet turns style into statement.

Addison Rae opted for minimalist sensuality in a plunging white Alaïa gown, while Sabrina Carpenter appeared statuesque in a beaded, tiered custom Valentino dress. Tyla embraced sultry glamour in a feather accented DSquared2 look, and Chappell Roan continued the red carpet tradition of daring exposure in a custom Mugler ensemble.

Standout Fashion Moments

With nominees and performers spanning every genre, including Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Clipse, Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, the Creator, and more, the red carpet became a visual harmony of glamour, experimentation, and self expression.

Sabrina Carpenter in Valentino

Believe it or not, Sabrina Carpenter is not yet a Grammys veteran. She made her debut at the awards in 2025, a full decade after releasing her first studio album. On February 1, Carpenter returned to the red carpet for the 2026 ceremony looking every bit the seasoned presence.

With six Grammy nominations this year, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year, stylist Jared Ellner knew all eyes would be on her. Working with Valentino, he created a bespoke white gown that balanced elegance with understated sensuality. A nude underlay lined the floor length silhouette, beginning with an intricately beaded floral bodice. Short cape like sleeves added a subtle bohemian touch to the Alessandro Michele design, while tiered, semi sheer ruffles cascaded down the skirt, each layer finished with delicate pearl polka dot detailing that echoed across the sleeves.

Bad Bunny in Schiaparelli

This year, Bad Bunny, nominated for six Grammys, delivered one of the evening’s most talked about looks in a custom Schiaparelli tuxedo. Featuring a corseted structure and a discreet lace up detail down the back, the look marked the fashion house’s first menswear design and underscored the evolution of contemporary men’s fashion.

Addison Rae Honors Pieter Mulier in a Plunging Alaïa Grammys Look

2025’s pop it girl Addison Rae arrived on the red carpet in a custom Alaïa look. A first time Grammy nominee for Best New Artist, she wore a plunging white tutu gown inspired by look 41 from the house’s Spring Summer 2026 runway collection. While the skirt echoed the original design, the bodice was reworked into a structured silhouette. With creative director Pieter Mulier set to present his final collection this March, the look may be one of his last custom red carpet creations for Alaïa.

Lady Gaga in Matières Fécales

Few designer musician collaborations feel as organic as Lady Gaga and Matières Fécales. The Montreal born duo first worked with Gaga at Coachella in 2025, and their creative relationship has only intensified since. At the Grammys, Gaga stunned in a feather draped gown that swirled dramatically around her body, blending couture craftsmanship with performance art intensity.

Malice, Pusha T and Pharrell Williams in Louis Vuitton

Coordinated dressing took center stage as Hiphop duo, Clipse brothers Malice and Pusha T joined Pharrell Williams in dusty pink velvet Louis Vuitton suits. Subtle variations in tailoring kept the looks cohesive without feeling identical, striking a balance between unity and individuality.

Ejae in Dior

Songwriter Ejae delivered understated drama in deep purple silk accented with black lace paneling. A gold Dior brooch at the shoulder completed the look, proving that refinement can be just as impactful as extravagance.

Teyana Taylor in Tom Ford and Tiffany and Co.

Teyana Taylor sets the bar higher with every awards show appearance, and this year was no exception. For the Grammy Awards, the actress wore a sculptural Tom Ford gown paired with jewelry from Tiffany and Co. One of the evening’s presenters, Taylor delivered a look that was both powerful and impeccably refined.

Audrey Nuna in Thom Browne

The best looks often come with the best back stories. For Audrey Nuna, one third of the singing trio from the Netflix sensation K Pop Demon Hunters, Thom Browne was a brand she remembers seeing at her father’s clothing manufacturing business when her family first immigrated to the United States in the 1970s. The raw hems, exposed shoulder, and exaggerated shapes feel delightfully off kilter, resulting in a look that is intentionally off balance and perfectly aligned with Nuna’s eccentric style.

Justin Bieber in Balenciaga and Hailey Bieber in Alaïa

Justin and Hailey Bieber returned to the Grammys red carpet with a masterclass in couple dressing. His oversized Balenciaga tailoring complemented her semi sheer Alaïa dress, both finished with matching ICE Out pins.

Rosé in Giambattista Valli Couture and Tiffany and Co.

Stepping away from her usual Saint Laurent looks, Rosé chose a custom Giambattista Valli couture gown featuring a dramatic bustle detail. A Tiffany Knot bangle in yellow gold completed the romantic yet commanding look.

Katseye in Ludovic de Saint Sernin

The six member group delivered a soft yet structured approach to red carpet dressing, blending fluid silhouettes with modern edge.

Sombr in Valentino

Wearing a fully sequined suit requires confidence, and Sombr delivered. His Valentino suit paired with a lace shirt created a bold and unapologetic statement.

Olivia Dean in Chanel

Fresh off her Best New Artist win, Olivia Dean shimmered in a feathered Chanel gown, signaling her rise as both a musical and style force.

Zara Larsson in Germanier

Zara Larsson delivered exactly what fans expect. Her custom beaded Germanier look balanced craftsmanship with stage ready energy.

Fashion Before the First Note

Before the ceremony even began, the Grammys 2026 red carpet made clear why this night stands apart. The looks were bold, theatrical, and deeply personal, turning the arrivals into a performance of their own. From couture craftsmanship to fearless self expression, the Grammys proved once again that fashion here is not just worn, but embodied.
