The 68th Annual Grammy Awards was hosted at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, and before the awards were even handed out, the red carpet stole the spotlight. Known for creative fashion, the Grammys once again proved that this is the award show where artists take the biggest risks, some more successful than others.
One of the best dressed stars of the night was Doechii, who turned heads in a Roberto Cavalli dress with a dramatic 13 foot train. The look perfectly matched the Grammys’ experimental vibe. Lady Gaga also impressed in a feathered black gown by Matieres Fecales, staying true to her signature dramatic style. Rose from Blackpink kept things simple but striking in a black mini dress paired with a large white veil, creating a contrast that stood out on the carpet.
Not every look was a showstopper. Billie Eilish wore a suit that mixed a jacket, pants, and a skirt, which was creative but confusing for some viewers. Bad Bunny’s black tuxedo was stylish, but compared to other bold outfits, it felt a little too safe. Olivia Dean and Sabrina Carpenter both chose elegant designer looks, but their outfits blended into the crowd rather than standing out.
Some outfits just seemed boring. Queen Latifah’s floor length look was classy, but it lacked the excitement expected at the Grammys, with her new hairstyle becoming the main highlight. Zara Larsson’s gold sparkly two piece was fun and matched her new album “Midnight Sun” summer look but felt less polished than many of the night’s stronger looks.
Overall, the 2026 Grammy Awards red carpet proved, fashion can be just as competitive as the music itself. While some artists used the carpet to make unforgettable fashion statements, others played it safe or took risks that didn’t quite pay off. Either way, the Grammys once again showed that many fashion choices keep the conversation going long after the music ends.
