Lizzo wowed in a bright orange Dolce & Gabbana opera coat adorned with flowers and a huge hood as the wild and wacky Grammys red carpet did not disappoint Sunday. Tattered streetwear, T-shirts and denim mixed with blinged-out couture, wild patterns and plenty of skin.
Lizzo walked gingerly as she navigated her heavy coat with a long train. After awhile, she dropped the coat to her shoulders to reveal a busty sequin corset gown underneath in a softer orange. The coat was entirely embroidered with handmade silk flowers, and the gown was silk with crystal mesh Swarovski details. She accessorized with crystal embellished heels and sheer fingerless gloves.
B次元官网网址淟izzo is a floral garden fantasy in her ruffle orange 3D robe and matching corset dress underneath,B次元官网网址� said Holly Katz, a stylist and host of the Fashion Crimes podcast. B次元官网网址淎nd we love to hear her roar!B次元官网网址�
Taylor Swift, channeling her Midnights era, wore a long two-piece sparkly skirt with a high-neck, long-sleeve crop top, all by Roberto Cavalli. They were, yes, midnight blue. She added statement diamond earrings by Lorraine Schwartz, her hair in an updo.
Fashion lover Harry Styles walked the carpet in a rainbow harlequin pattern jumpsuit adorned with Swarovski crystals. He was shirtless underneath. His low-cut, multicolored Egonlab look drew cheers. Egonlab is a young brand out of Paris.
B次元官网网址淭he man seems like heB次元官网网址檚 having an enormous amount of fun with fashion, and even if that doesnB次元官网网址檛 mean wearing harlequin overalls for most of us, the end result B次元官网网址� the sheer joy of it B次元官网网址� is something we should all aim for,B次元官网网址� said EsquireB次元官网网址檚 style director, Jonathan Evans.
Cardi B., meanwhile, wore a bombshell, sculptural electric blue gown with huge shoulders and a headpiece over one eye.
B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 trying, IB次元官网网址檓 trying,B次元官网网址� she told photographers as she carefully walked down the carpet.
CardiB次元官网网址檚 look was from Gaurav GuptaB次元官网网址檚 latest collection, B次元官网网址渃ontinuing to prove she intrinsically understands the delicate style dynamics of the Grammys carpet. ItB次元官网网址檚 not about being silly, but rather making a statement,B次元官网网址� said Bianca Betancourt, digital culture editor for HarperB次元官网网址檚 Bazaar.
To present the award for best rap album, Cardi donned a silver metallic assemblage from the archive of Paco Rabanne. Rabanne died Friday in France at age 88. The top and skirt were done by Julien Dossena in 2021. The matching hood that covered her eyes dates to 2020.
Anitta also made a splash in black Versace from 2003.
B次元官网网址淪he went toward a more gothic aesthetic,B次元官网网址� Betancourt said. B次元官网网址淭he flowing gown was sublimely tailored and showed the global star doing red carpet elegance in her own way. It was still sexy, still youthful, but still elevated. It didnB次元官网网址檛 look obviously vintage, which is a testament to DonatellaB次元官网网址檚 artistry.B次元官网网址�
Machine Gun Kelly, who often pushes into edgy fashion, was in a silver double-breasted laminated foil suit with a Swarovski crystal harness. It was custom Dolce & Gabbana. He was accompanied by Megan Fox in creamy Zuhair Murad. Her gown had a corset bodice and heart embroidered applique.
Sam Smith was in fire engine red. They were accompanied by Kim Petras, and drag queens Violet Chachki and Gottmik in the same color. Smith wore a top hat with a veil. They, too, wore matching gloves, a trend of the night.
Monochrome was a major theme, Betancourt said.
B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 a great way to experiment with more avant-garde looks while still maintaining a sense of stylistic structure,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淟izzo and Kacey Musgraves also opted for monochrome and textured looks from Dolce & Gabbana and Valentino.B次元官网网址�
The marathon carpet kicked off with some notable looks. Doja Cat, always pushing her fashion envelope, showed up in a vinyl, one-shoulder and skintight black gown with long matching gloves from Atelier Versace. Bebe Rexha sizzled in hot pink with twists from head to toe and a va-va-voom halter bodice, proving that Barbiecore is going strong. The look was Moschino by Jeremy Scott.
Musgraves, in Valentino, also took the Barbie note with a feathery cape in a lighter pink hue over a catsuit.
There were golden crowns (Matt B), glittery mouth bling (Alligator Jesus) and epic tattoos (Alisha Gaddis). And lots of slouchy and roomy looks that spoke to many of the men, as did an embroidered denim shorts ensemble for Benny Blanco.
B次元官网网址淲hile there werenB次元官网网址檛 any giant, unmissable, overwhelmingly popular red-carpet trends on the menB次元官网网址檚 fashion front, that actually proved to be a positive this year. It gave the smaller trends a little bit more room to shine,B次元官网网址� Evans said.
His most compelling? The double-breasted suit, or jacket.
B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 not just a 2023 thing, of course, but the popularity of the DB tends to ebb and flow, and it seems like this year could be a very good one for the silhouette. LL Cool J, Jack Harlow, Saint JHN and Scott Evans all wore a version of it. They all looked fantastic, and the really great thing is that men in all walks of life can emulate their outfits and look equally fantastic,B次元官网网址� he said.
Evans also had thoughts on all that denim.
B次元官网网址淢iguel was decked out in it. Benny Blanco, too. The looks were seemingly made with the word `divisiveB次元官网网址� in mind, but they smacked of a sort of youth-culture cool that embraces that word instead of shying away from it. Love `em or hate B次元官网网址榚m, those outfits seem like a bellwether of a more denim-forward world in the near future, so take note,B次元官网网址� he said.
But back to Doja CatB次元官网网址檚 vinyl.
B次元官网网址淲ho canB次元官网网址檛 stop talking about Doja Cat donning 30,000 red Swarovski crystals for Paris Fashion Week? Well, she certainly doesnB次元官网网址檛 disappoint at the Grammys as she totally channeled the queen of darkness,B次元官网网址� Katz said. B次元官网网址淭he Mia Farrow 60B次元官网网址瞫 haircut was a perfect match for this look.B次元官网网址�
Betancourt was also a Doja fan.
B次元官网网址淭he look was gritty, sexy and much like Doja herself, forward-thinking. Her makeup also deserves a notable mention. It was an exquisite cat eye (pun intended) by Ernesto Casillas with a juicy metallic glossed lip that echoed the early aughts, but done without the kitsch most 2000s-inspired looks often perpetuate,B次元官网网址� she said.
Viola Davis, meanwhile, completed her EGOT by winning a Grammy at the Grammys pre-telecast ceremony in a Naeem Kahn red, silver and blue tiered sequin short-sleeved gown.
Shania Twain isnB次元官网网址檛 up for a Grammy. That, she said, freed her to have fun with fashion. TwainB次元官网网址檚 hair was red and her Harris Reed wide-belled pantsuit was adorned with huge black polka dots against white. She topped it off with a towering, matching wide-brim hat.
B次元官网网址淗ere I am with all my new fun things to wear,B次元官网网址� she said. Reed is a young British American designer she wanted to support. Her goal: B次元官网网址淚 just wanted to add some pop and cheer.B次元官网网址�
Twain, said Katz, B次元官网网址渄efinitely scored in the avant-garde category but does sort of look like she just stepped out of Alice in Wonderland.B次元官网网址�
Laverne Cox WAS B次元官网网址淲akanda ForeverB次元官网网址� in her custom strapless leather Kim Kassas embellished warrior figure dress and African-inspired jewelry, Katz said. B次元官网网址淧aying homage to the African culture through fashion is always in style.B次元官网网址�
CoxB次元官网网址檚 leather dress by Kim Kassas honors the vision of the late fashion editor Andre Leon Talley. There was another vibe on her mind: B次元官网网址淓gyptian/Cleopatra.B次元官网网址�
Prabal Gurung whipped up a custom sunny yellow chiffon look for Kelsea Ballerini with light-as-air back pieces she unfurled on the carpet. Amanda Gorman was in a top color of the night: black. Gorman, wearing Prada, twirled her long, sheer overlay worn over a mini-dress on the red carpet.
BalleriniB次元官网网址檚 look, Katz said, was B次元官网网址渟o ethereal and dreamy on the red carpet.B次元官网网址�
