Guests sported some amazing looks as well, so let’s dive into some of the trends spotted on the red carpet this year.

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.

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.
