After delaying its initial January date, the 2021 Grammy Awards ceremony has finally rolled out its socially distant virtual red carpet. Hosted by Trevor Noah, the music awards show was assembled at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
Here are the top fashion moments we’re digging at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards:
Taylor Swift, who won Album of the Year for her surprise lockdown project “Folklore”, wore an ethereal long-sleeved Oscar de la Renta mini-dress covered in flower appliqués. She completed the look with baby pink Christian Louboutin heels and Cathy Waterman jewelry.
Beyonce made headlines recently for choosing not to perform at the awards show. And although she also skipped the red carpet, Bey dominated the scene with her wins for Best R&B Performance for “Black Parade” and Best Music Video for “Brown Skin Girl”. Receiving her awards, she opted for an off-the-shoulder leather Schiaparelli gown with matching gloves, a face mask, and sunglasses. She accessorized with long gold earrings and tights:
Beyonce is also officially the most decorated female artist in the history of Grammys, after winning her 28th award this year.
Megan Thee Stallion, who won Best New Artist (the last female rapper to win this category was Lauryn Hill in 1999) and Best Rap Song and Performance for her collab song with Beyonce called “Savage”, rocked the red carpet in orange one-slit dress by Dolce & Gabbana:
Lizzo opted for a gorgeous strapless bodycon dress in seafoam green color, designed by Balmain. She accessorized her look with lots of diamonds from Bulgari:
Dua Lipa, who won Best Pop Vocal Album for her work in “Future Nostalgia”, arrived at the Grammys red carpet in sheer Versace dress:
She also made fashion headlines for her seamless costume changes during her stage performance. Dua began her melody of “Don’t Start Now” and “Levitating” in a magenta pink, off-the-shoulder robe with a matching bejeweled top by Versace, and then ditched the robe to perform in her all-Versace bejeweled bra and shorts ensemble:
Doja Cat totally tried a new look with this feathered creation by Roberto Cavalli:
Jhene Aiko looked pretty-in-pink in a puffy ensemble by Giambattista Valli:
Fashion glitterati has been anticipating Harry Styles’ choices for sure. Harry, who was nominated in three categories Best Music Video, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance, certainly did not disappoint. For his live stage performance of “Watermelon Sugar”, the singer chose a black leather suit accessorized with green feather boa– all in custom Gucci:
The singer won Best Pop Solo Performance for the song. For his red carpet look, the performer and fashion risktaker opted for a yellow plaid blazer, brown pants, and another floor-grazing boa — this time in lilac:
Billie Eilish, who won Best Song for Visual Media for “No Time to Die” and Record of the Year for “Everything I Wanted”, wore head-to-toe Gucci. FINNEAS, Billie’s collaborating songwriter, producer and brother, also wore Gucci:
Filipina-American artist H.E.R., who won Song of the Year for her BLM-inspired song “I Can’t Breathe”, wore an ensemble by Dundas, shoes by Stuart Weitzman and sunglasses by Bonnie & Clyde:
Cardi B wore a gladiator-like metal bra, with pointed armor-style shoulder pads, knee pads and briefs by Rey Ortiz for her live performance of “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion. She completed her edgy chromatic look with sexy fishnets and D’Orazio rose gold diamond earrings:
