The best red-carpet event of the year was last night. Sure, the Oscars give us glamour, but the Grammys<\/a> give us chaos, and that\u2019s so much better. Sabrina Carpenter<\/a>, Olivia Dean, Addison Rae, KATSEYE, and Hailey Beiber all gave us looks on the red carpet.<\/p>\n

In other news: Bad Bunny won the Grammy for Album of the Year for\u00a0DeB\u00cd TiRAR M\u00e1S FOToS; Cher got a Lifetime Achievement Award; Billie Eilish said \u201cFuck ICE\u201d; and Chappell Roan wore a nipple dress. Read about those moments and more, right here. <\/a><\/p>\n

But keep scrolling to see how music\u2019s biggest stars rank on our list of the best, worst, and weirdest Grammys 2026 red-carpet and after-party looks.<\/p>\n

The Best New Artist nominee already looks like a winner in custom Chanel, straight off the runway.<\/p>\n

During her performance, she wore another custom Chanel, and it was almost as perfect as the first one.<\/p>\n

It must be hard to carry the best-dressed list year after year, but someone\u2019s got to do it!<\/p>\n

Sabrina Carpenter wore custom Valentino as an homage to Valentino Garavani, the beloved couturier who died earlier this year<\/a>. The dress feels true to her Old Hollywood pin-up aesthetic but a more mature version of what we\u2019ve seen from her in the past. Tens across the board.<\/p>\n

My husband looks incredible in this Schiaparelli suit, the first-ever menswear red-carpet look for the label. Even better? It features corsetry all the way down the back.<\/p>\n

The Biebers have arrived! And they look damn good in all black, silver jewelry, and \u201cICE OUT\u201d pins. P.S. Hailey, if you\u2019re reading this, you should wear a dark lip more often.<\/p>\n

Now this is a bona fide pop star. Argue with the wall.<\/p>\n

During her performance, she wore this purple look, and we liked it (almost) as much as the first.<\/p>\n

This is one of those Grammys red-carpet looks that\u2019ll be remembered <\/a>and referenced for years to come, which makes it a success in my book. \u201cI like breaking the mold,\u201d the singer said on the red carpet.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s allergic to not serving at this point.<\/p>\n

More proof that 2026 is the year of Teyana Taylor.<\/p>\n

She changed into something more comfortable for a Grammys after-party hosted by Saint Laurent, W Magazine, and Charli XCX.<\/p>\n

The newest Saint Laurent boy wore an oversize checkered blazer over a slutty little tank top to the same after-party. He accessorized the look perfectly with a silver chain and classic black frames.<\/p>\n

You know a look is good when the train is so big, it can\u2019t even fit in the frame. \u201cI\u2019m wearing custom Roberto Cavalli, inspired by their collections around 1996 to 2001,\u201d she said on the red carpet. \u201cI\u2019m feeling earthy, feminine, beautiful, and all the things.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the red carpet, Tyla said this feather- and sequin-embellished dress from 2013 really makes her feel \u201clike a pop star\u201d and thanked her glam squad for turning her into a gold goddess. Her skin was just as shiny and gold as her dress.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m giving summer, mermaid, sun \u2026 it\u2019s giving body, it\u2019s giving glow,\u201d said Zara Larsson in a hand-beaded, bright-yellow sequined crop top and skirt by Kevin Germanier. It\u2019s fun, sexy, and entertaining but not totally off the rails; a perfect choice for the Grammys red carpet. Everyone else, take notes. Earlier in the night, she performed in a look with a skirt covered in sun-ray-esque tentacles.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey did their big one,\u201d Sombr said on the red carpet when asked about his custom Valentino look. And honestly? That\u2019s exactly what I\u2019d expect to hear from my chronically online king, who\u2019s nominated tonight for Best New Artist.<\/p>\n

Same pose, different jacket. And we\u2019re eating it up!<\/p>\n

These soft, velour bell-bottom peachy-pink suits are feminine and fabulous.<\/p>\n

For her own after-party, Charli XCX chose this structured, long-sleeve dress. It\u2019s the perfect balance of witchy and gothic yet sultry and chic.<\/p>\n

Because opera-length leather gloves belong on the Grammys red carpet.<\/p>\n

EUSEXUA just won the award for Best Dance Album\/Electronic Music, making FKA Twigs the first Grammy winner of the night. She\u2019s also winning with this very on-brand, ethereal forest-fairy look.<\/p>\n

Music\u2019s coolest couple has arrived \u2026 in sneakers. No choice but to stan!<\/p>\n

We\u2019re generally over naked dresses, but we\u2019ll make an exception for this delicate, sheer lace fringe dress by Paolo Sebastian that fits her like a glove. Points for the mermaid hair, too.<\/p>\n

Say what you want about Yungblud, but the man knows his brand \u2014 and that\u2019s something we can appreciate. Jesse Jo Stark, the daughter of Chrome Hearts founder Richard Stark, also looks cool (as always).<\/p>\n

Martha Stewart put on her party shirt (and very chic gold pumps) for the Saint Laurent, W Magazine, and Charli XCX Grammys after-party.<\/p>\n

I want more from them, but it\u2019s not bad (and I would imagine coordinating six looks for every single public appearance is a nightmare, so A for effort).<\/p>\n

\"Universal <\/p>\n

She can do a million times better than this (and usually does), but it\u2019s cute for an after-party.<\/p>\n

I have a personal vendetta against Lainey Wilson and her obsession with bell-bottoms, but this look is actually quite nice.<\/p>\n

Listen, we didn\u2019t expect to be writing about Don Lemon\u2019s fashion tonight, but we\u2019re happy to see him in a laid-back white suit just two days after he was arrested in St. Paul, where he was covering an anti-ICE protest.<\/p>\n

What in the 2018 is going on here?<\/p>\n

Kehlani, we love you. But wearing a sheer black dress with a keyhole cutout to the Grammys is boring and predictable, not to mention dated.<\/p>\n

\"The <\/p>\n

Was this part of a Halloween costume she reused? Seriously asking.<\/p>\n

PinkPantheress deserves better. The soft, glowy makeup is nice, but the dress is ill-fitting, and the necklace feels like an afterthought.<\/p>\n

I do like this Dior by Jonathan Anderson look \u2014 and Styles having the sheer audacity to wear it to the Grammys made me giggle \u2014 but based on principle alone, jeans and sneakers have to be on the worst-dressed list.<\/p>\n

\"68th <\/p>\n

The proportions look off; bigger hair or an asymmetrical skirt would have helped balance out the look.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re saying no to little-lad looks in 2026.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong, I love a drawstring waistband. But wearing one on the red carpet? Really?<\/p>\n

The criss-cross halter bodysuit look is something we\u2019ve seen way too many times.<\/p>\n

This is giving prom dress, not Grammys dress.<\/p>\n

Now why would he do this \u2026<\/p>\n

From the loud print to the feather-trimmed sleeves to the train, looking at this dress is making my head spin.<\/p>\n

This matching set does look comfortable, I have to admit.<\/p>\n
