Known for its stunning and outlandish fashion, music artists gather annually at the Grammy Awards to showcase their best looks.
In light of the recent fires in Los Angeles it would be understandable if the celebrities arrived at the award show with a limited wardrobe. Basic outfits and little blue heart pins worn on many celebrities were the expectation of viewers across the country.
However, all expectations were subverted. Creativity and personality shone through to give us many gorgeous and exciting outfits.
These are some of the stand out looks from the night:
LADY GAGA
Samuel Lewis puts Lady Gaga in a laced-up leather corset jacket and distressed ball gown skirt, creating a gothic Nosferatu-esque look that brings nostalgia from her bad romance era. Exaggerated shoulder pads and extravagant dresses are consistent with Gaga’s previous looks. With the build up for her seventh studio album Mayhem, this outfit gives a glance into the themes we can expect from her work.
DOECHII
Doechii arrives at the Grammys wearing a stunning dress from Thom Browne blending the lines between masculinity and femininity. The dress shirt and tie leading into her gown, paired with her exaggerated proportions, create a uniquely polarizing look that challenges gender norms.
JANELLE MONAE
Piotrek Panszczyk and Beckett Fogg create a powerful suit for Janelle Monáe. The navy suit she wears is both simple and impactful. Her exaggerated shoulder padding, unique accessories and decision to go shirtless creates a powerful look that tests gender norms and makes her stand out in the best way possible.
CHRIS GREATTI
Dressed head-to-toe in Ann Demeulemeester, Chris Greatti shows up in a black-and-white suit styled with the brand’s signature drapey silhouette. The long striped suit jacket and pants add character and creativity to the foundation of the outfit. Paired with the distressed black scarf and shirt, Demeulemeestre creates a chaotic look that’s unique to both Greatti and Demeulemeester.
