AP/AFP – Music’s brightest stars rocked the red carpet at the Grammy Awards, bringing some high drama and serious style.
While the Oscars tend to embrace a classic brand of Hollywood glamour, the Grammys are daring: some of the most iconic fashion looks have emerged at the storied gala. Here’s a look at what the A-listers wore to the Grammys in Los Angeles:
Beyonce finally won the Album of the Year award for the first time in her career, and she chose a glittering Schiaparelli gown for her golden moment.
Taylor Swift, who presented Beyonce with her best country album award but went home empty-handed, was dressed to impress in a sparkly red Vivienne Westwood one-shoulder mini-dress.
Breakout star Chappell Roan, who took home the award for Best New Artist, 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 make-up was heavy, and her signature red curls flowed loosely down her back. Her nails were long and golden – like the statuette she took 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.
Besides Roan, other members of music’s new generation of pop stars didn’t let their red carpet moments go to waste, rocking decidedly daring looks.
Sabrina Carpenter, who won two Grammys in the pop categories, 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, wore a grey Gaultier gown with a corset bodice and oodles of frothy chiffon – definitely very brat.
And Olivia Rodrigo slayed in a daring Versace black halter gown with a plunging neckline and a nearly bare back, with just a few straps holding it together.
Singer Willow Smith, the daughter of Hollywood couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith rolled up in a bejewelled top and a tuxedo-style jacket.
Her actor brother Jaden had a giant black castle hat encasing his head.
