On Sunday February 4, the 66th annual Grammy Awards were held in Los Angeles. The night had many highlights: Billy Joel performed a brand new song after 30 years, Taylor Swift announced a new album, and there were amazing performances by Stevie Wonder, Jon Batiste, Joni Mitchell, and Miley Cyrus. Guests sported some amazing looks as well, so let’s dive into some of the trends spotted on the red carpet this year.
The corset trend has stuck around for a while and was worn by many artists on the red carpet this Grammy’s season.
Taylor Swift wore a white Schiaparelli gown with a classic lace-up corset in the back. She accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz Jewelry, most notably a vintage watch that was turned into a choker.
Ellie Goulding sported a black long-sleeve gown from Zuhair Murad’s Fall-Winter 2023 Collection. Complete with a lace corset and black feathers, the look was a statement piece.
Victoria Monét, awarded Best New Artist, had an amazing custom Versace brown satin gown with visible boning and drapery.
Kylie Minogue, Winner of Best Pop Dance Recording, wore a custom fire-red Dolce and Gabbana corset dress with lace up detailing.
Glitter and metallics have been trending for the past year and many artists sported some shiny ensembles.
Nominated for 6 Grammys this year, Jon Batiste performed Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine” and “Lean On Me.” On the red carpet, Batiste wore a silver custom Atelier Versace ensemble consisting of a jacket, pants and pleated skirt.
Four time Grammy winner Lionel Richie presented the Song of the Year award, and wore an Alexander McQueen Suit with an intricately hand beaded dragonfly across his jacket.
Allison Russell won her first Grammy for the Best American Roots Performance. She wore a gorgeous gold, multilayered, and structured gown.
Dua Lipa dazzled in a custom Courrèges dress adorned with silver sequins which featured two cut-outs on each side.
Olivia Rodrigo stunned in a vintage Versace gown previously worn by Linda Evangelista in 1995. The dress is white with pink sequins scattered from top to bottom–a missing sequin on the neckline just added to its authenticity.
Whether it was a dainty necklace or whole body outfit made of them, chains were a major trend of the night.
Alex Ritchie, a Los-Angeles based singer-songwriter stunned in a custom emerald green set by Michelle Hébert. Adorned with gold chains, her jacket and pants stood out.
Maluma, alongside Christina Aguilera, presented the Best Música Urbana Album award. He wore a black Dolce and Gabanna suit which he accessorized with a gold pocket chain detail, elevating his look.
“From The Start” singer Laufey shined in a light pink boat-neck dress from Chanel’s Spring 2024 collection. She wore a chunky Chanel waist chain complete with pearls and gemstones.
Coco Jones, Winner of “Best R&B performance” stunned in a sheer blue gown by Celia Kritharioti. The plunging neckline showed off a gorgeous Swarovski x SKIMS body chain from the fall 2023 brand collaboration.
Miley Cyrus won her first two Grammys this year and dazzled in a custom metal dress by John Galliano for Maison Margiela. The dress was constructed by hand in the Maison ateliers taking a total of 675 hours to complete.
These artists wore looks that closely matched their typical personal style.
Boygenius members Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker won 3 Grammys this year and sported custom white silk Thom Browne suits with pink carnations on their lapels. The outfits pay homage to “We’re In Love,” a song off of their album “The Record” which won the Grammy for Best Alternative Album.
Ice spice was nominated in four categories this year, and she sported a custom denim jacket and maxi skirt set by Baby Phat. The brand, started in 1999, influenced women’s streetwear in the early 2000’s. This look aligns with Ice Spice’s typical Y2K style, and is a reference to her debut album “Y2K” that is releasing later this year.
Billie Eilish’s iconic oversized look starred at this year’s Grammy awards. Billie wore a light pink and black bomber jacket by Chrome Hearts, with Barbie embroidered across it. The jacket is vintage, and was customized for Billie to wear.
Best Country Album winner, Lainey Wilson, wore a custom suit by Balmain, complete with a classic bell bottom. She also wore a black wide brimmed hat, giving off some country energy.
Overall, the looks this year at the Grammys were great, made by a diverse group of amazing designers. Keep a lookout for these trends on the red carpets, but also in your everyday lives!
