The 2026 Grammys: Fashion Hits And Misses That Stole The Show

The Grammy Awards might be a musical showdown, but it's also a fashion battleground where stars compete for the spotlight on the red carpet. This year, at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, it was no different. The star-studded event at Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena saw a parade of jaw-dropping outfits that are sure to be talked about for years to come.

Sabrina Carpenter, who was riding high on her second consecutive nomination for her album "Manchild," kicked off the night with a bang. Her custom beaded Valentino gown was not just a fashion statement but a heartfelt tribute to Valentino Garavani, the legendary designer who passed away on January 19. "Fashion is a way to honor the greats," Carpenter noted with a touch of nostalgia.

Meanwhile, Addison Rae, a contender for Best New Artist, turned heads in a striking white sculptural ensemble from Alaïa. The look was even more poignant given the recent exit of Alaïa's creative director, Pieter Mulier. Rae's bold choice was a fitting homage to the brand's avant-garde spirit.

The red carpet was a whirl of creativity and glamour. Miley Cyrus dazzled in Celine, while Chappell Roan made a statement in a daring ensemble. Rosé from Blackpink stunned in a custom Giambattista Valli Couture, and Katseye wowed in Ludovic Saint Sernin. Kelsea Ballerini opted for a chic custom Etro, and Olivia Dean sparkled in Chanel, adorned with Tiffany & Co jewelry.

Other stars like Zara Larsson in Germanier, PinkPantheress in vintage Vivienne Westwood, and Kehlani in Valdrin Sahiti Couture added to the fashion fiesta. Each look brought something unique to the table, from the intricate designs to the bold color choices. FKA Twigs' Paolo Carzana creation and Michelle Williams' Jean-Louis Sabaji Couture number were the cherries on top of a night to remember.

The 2026 Grammys proved once again that the red carpet is as much a part of the show as the music. With so many unforgettable looks, this year's event will be a hard act to follow. Stay tuned for more fashion highlights and celebrity surprises!
