There were plenty of sparkle and statement looks in huge sleeves and embellishment Sunday as the Grammys raised money for wildfire victims.
The 67th Grammy Awards commenced on Sunday amidst a backdrop of the Los Angeles wildfires, with the red carpet showcasing an array of black and subdued tones symbolizing the prevailing sense of loss and devastation.
But there was plenty of sparkle and statement looks in huge sleeves and embellishment. The color red had a moment on Haley Kalil and others.
Here’s a few trends and moments from the red carpet:
Sierra Ferrell evokes a bride with no fashion fears
Sweeping up four Grammys, she made a grand entrance in a voluminous white gown reminiscent of an exuberant bride unafraid to take fashion risks, crafted by Jeffrey Kelly Designs.
The ensemble featured oversized luminescent sleeves, intricate pearl detailing, and a coordinating choker. Completing the look was an audacious bridal veil adorned with pearls and floral accents, accentuated by large pearl chandelier earrings. Not forgetting the essentials, she carried a scepter to hold her acceptance speech.
“Honestly this is kind of hilarious,” she joked after returning to the stage for a third time. “Yikes!” she started her fourth acceptance speech.
Chappell Roan is a whole mood
She walked in a vintage look from Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture, long wavy red hair flowing down her back. Her signature white powder makeup was full of color: yellows and blues and pinks and reds.
Roan’s look had touches of teal and images of Degas’ dancers on the skirt. It was Gaultier vintage from spring 2003.
“The singer has become known for her bold, artistic red carpet choices that reflect her unique sense of style and personality, and tonight was no exception,” said Claire Stern Milch, digital director for Elle.
Roan’s gown is from spring 2003. It was first worn by Beyoncé in Elle that April. The two are up against each other for Grammys.
The Young Smiths: Jaden wears a castle, and Willow goes classic young Hollywood
Jaden Smith walked the red carpet in Louis Vuitton with a large black castle on his head, his face peeking out. His sister, Willow Smith, was at his side. She went for classic young Hollywood in a tiny, sparkling black two piece with a long matching coat.
Willow wore her hair loose and natural as she worked her itty bitty look, a pair of towering black platform sandals on her feet.
Ye and Bianca Censori hit the carpet
Rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is no stranger to causing a scene at the Grammys.
Ye and his partner, Bianca Censori, took the spotlight with her barely there transparent dress that left nothing to the imagination. Censori is known for causing a stir with her sheer street style.
At the Grammys, she dropped her dark fur coat to reveal her exposed backside to the flash of cameras.
Red was a vibe
Red is an enduring trend in fashion of late, thanks to Taylor Swift’s commitment to the color at boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs games. And it had a moment at the Grammys.
Among other vibes: swingy and sparkly metallics. Kacey Musgraves represented in a long, gold belted skirt paired with a simple white muscle T-shirt. Musgraves’ look hails from Ralph Lauren Collection for spring 2025.
Jacob Collier’s suit of many colors
Collier was a bright spot. Really bright. He wore a heavily sequined coat of many colors with matching trousers, his hair sticking up high and proud.
He’s part of a crew honoring the late Quincy Jones, who helped launch his career when he was still a teen.
“Quincy is the man, as we all know. Quincy is the king,” he said.
Collier is nominated in the album of the year category.
