So far this awards season, nostalgia for classic Hollywood has dominated red-carpet looks. But compared with occasions like the Golden Globes and the Oscars, the Grammys have always been a little looser and more eclectic, sartorially speaking. While there may be plenty of glamour and elegance, the artists who attend “music’s biggest night” tend to dress to their own personal style, take more risks and play on tropes like “rock star” and “pop diva.”
The result is usually a collection of fashion moments that surprise, delight and raise an eyebrow or two. Viewers of last year’s show did not soon forget, for instance, Miley Cyrus’s revealing Maison Margiela dress — or the hair that went with it. Perhaps your group text never did recover from debating Taylor Swift in Schiaparelli, complete with black opera gloves.
As musicians like Charli XCX, Taylor Swift and Doechii stepped onto the red carpet for the 67th Grammy Awards, held on Sunday in Los Angeles, they made it clear that the evening would provide plenty of memorable looks and conversation starters.
