Dazzling Styles and Thoughtful Tributes: The Best Fashion Moments from the Grammy Awards
The Grammy Awards have long been a stage for jaw-dropping fashion, and this year was no exception. However, amidst the usual bold statements, many artists struck a more understated yet elegant tone at the Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, in honor of first responders and victims of Los Angeles’ recent wildfires.
A Night of Timeless Elegance
While edgy couture is a Grammy staple, a sophisticated all-black trend dominated the red carpet. Miley Cyrus stunned in a cut-out leather Saint Laurent gown, while Olivia Rodrigo exuded effortless glamour in a slinky halter-neck Versace dress. Setting a dramatic yet somber mood, Lady Gaga opted for an elegant long-sleeved Vivienne Westwood ball gown. Others brought a playful touch—J Balvin turned heads in a flowing silk Dior Men coat, and Billie Eilish made a quirky statement in a Prada suit topped with a sailor hat.
A Symbol of Solidarity
With Los Angeles hosting the Grammys more times than any other city in its 66-year history, many attendees paid tribute by sporting blue heart pins in support of MusiCares, a charity aiding music professionals affected by the fires. Brittany Howard, Jaden Smith, and Jacob Collier were among those proudly wearing the meaningful accessory.
Feathers, Ruffles, and Couture Drama
For those embracing high fashion’s more extravagant side, feathers and intricate embellishments stole the show. Sabrina Carpenter dazzled in a custom JW Anderson gown, accented with delicate detailing. Cardi B, never one to shy away from statement-making fashion, stunned in a beaded Roberto Cavalli Couture mermaid gown, cascading into autumnal plumes.
The night’s most talked-about arrivals also brought ruffles and cascading tulle into the spotlight. Charli XCX and Chappell Roan, two of the evening’s most-nominated artists, both wore Jean Paul Gaultier creations—but from completely different eras. Charli XCX debuted a custom Spring-Summer 2025 look, while Roan revived vintage glamour with a Spring 2003 couture masterpiece.
The Art of Illusion
Of course, no Grammy night is complete without daring displays of skin—or the illusion of it. Madison Beer embodied ethereal beauty in a divine strapless gown, while Shakira’s sheer Etro dress subtly played with transparency. But it was Bianca Censori, wife of Ye, who made the night’s most shocking fashion statement—dropping her coat to reveal a barely-there, see-through slip dress that left little (if anything) to the imagination.
From refined tributes to fearless fashion statements, the 2025 Grammys proved once again why it remains one of the most exciting nights in style.
See below for some of the event’s best and boldest looks. This story will be updated throughout the evening.
