Music’s brightest stars rocked the Grammys on Sunday in metallic gowns, Barbiecore pink and stark, classic white. Most of all, they showed a lot of skin. While the Oscars are known for embracing a certain brand of Hollywood glamour, the Grammys are in your face: Some of the most iconic fashion looks have emerged at the famous music industry ceremony, like Jennifer Lopez’s dark green Versace gown in 2000.
Here’s what the A-listers wore to the Grammys in Los Angeles:
metallics
If you want to shine at the Grammys, metallics are a strong bet. Pop princess Miley Cyrus, who won two Grammys for her hit “Flowers,” hit the red carpet in a gold metallic nude dress by John Galliano for Maison Margiela and big, in-your-face hair.
But when she accepted her award from Mariah Carey, she wore a black sparkly halter jumpsuit. She changed twice more during the event. Dua Lipa, nominated for her huge smash “Dance the Night” from the summer blockbuster “Barbie” movie, wore a low-cut floor-length Courage silver gown with long sleeves and a plunging neckline, her red hair flowing and wavy.
On the carpet she said she felt like a “warrior.” Jon Batiste, the only man in the running for Album of the Year, wore a shiny silver suit with a pleated kilt over his trousers. And Victoria Monet, who won three Grammys including the coveted Best New Artist award, dazzled in a copper Versace corset dress with a train, a trend seen on many red carpets this season.

Much has been written about who was and who wasn’t nominated for an Oscar for “Barbie,” but the film also scored 11 Grammy nominations — and has certainly dominated showbiz red carpets for months.
Billie Eilish – who famously sang her poignant “What Was I Made For?” Won two Grammy Awards for. From the movie – The pink and black Barbie bomber jacket with chrome hearts over a white shirt, black tie and black trousers looked fantastic.
Icelandic singer Laufey, winner of Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album, looked lovely 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, showed up in matching Barbie pink three-piece suits, showing that the world of Barbie is for men, too.

Olivia Rodrigo, nominated multiple times for her second album “Guts,” glowed 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 in white Thom Browne suits to accept their three Grammys.
And the queen of music, Taylor Swift, wore a strapless white Schiaparelli gown that opened to her hips, to claim her record-breaking fourth Album of the Year award. Sleek black opera gloves, a watch choker, several silver necklaces and a classic red lipstick completed the glamorous and elegant look.
Some observers saw a coded message in Swift’s look: the album cover of her “Reputation” was black and white. But on stage, he announced the release of his next album, “The Tortured Poets Department”, on April 19. When they posted an image of the album cover on social media, it was also… black and white.
