LOS ANGELES — The 67th Grammy Awards kicked off Sunday with a red carpet full of black and subdued tones against the backdrop of loss and devastation from the Los Angeles wildfires.
But there was plenty of sparkle and statement looks in huge sleeves and embellishment.
Here’s a few trends and moments from the red carpet:
Ye and Bianca Censori’s shocker
Chicago rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is no stranger to causing a scene at the Grammys.
Ye and his partner, Bianca Censori, took the spotlight with her barely there transparent dress that left nothing to the imagination. She arrived at the Grammys in a dark fur coat that she dropped to reveal her birthday suit.
Censori is known for causing a stir with her sheer street style.
Red was a vibe
Red is an enduring trend in fashion of late, thanks to Taylor Swift’s commitment to the color at boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs games. And it had a moment at the Grammys.
Swift’s dress Sunday was a short little number with a pleated skirt at the bottom and one sleeve up top. It matched her signature red lips perfectly.
The sparkly dress had a little chain with red jewels at one hip.
Sierra Ferrell evokes a bride
Ferrell won BIG with four Grammys. She did it just as BIG in a huge white gown that evoked a way enthusiastic bride with no fashion fears, designed by Jeffrey Kelly Designs.
Ferrell’s dress included huge luminescent sleeves, pearl embellishment all over and a matching choker piece. And she didn’t forget her bold bride’s veil: a head piece with pearls and flower touches above large pearl chandelier earrings. And she had a scepter, where she stashed her acceptance speech.
“Honestly this is kind of hilarious,” she joked after returning to the stage for a third time. “Yikes!” she started her fourth acceptance speech.
Chappell Roan is a whole mood
Roan walked in a vintage look from Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture, long wavy red hair flowing down her back. Her signature white powder makeup was full of color: yellows and blues and pinks and reds.
Roan’s look had touches of teal and images of Degas’ dancers on the skirt. It was Gaultier vintage from spring 2003.
“The singer has become known for her bold, artistic red carpet choices that reflect her unique sense of style and personality, and tonight was no exception,” said Claire Stern Milch, digital director for Elle.
Roan’s gown is from spring 2003. It was first worn by Beyoncé in Elle that April. The two were up against each other for Grammys.
