The 2026 Grammy Awards weren’t just a celebration of music’s biggest stars; the ceremony also welcomed a fresh wave of talent to the stage. And with all eyes on the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 1st, the artists delivered a stunning display of fashion, showcasing everything from dazzling embellishments and glamorous silhouettes to bold statements and refined elegance.
Lady Gaga made a triumphant return to the Grammys, turning heads in a striking black swan-inspired gown by Matières Fécales, a design house she previously collaborated with for her show-stopping performance at Coachella in April 2025. Chappell Roan took a daring approach, opting for a sheer Thierry Mugler dress suspended by (faux) nipple piercings. Meanwhile, Sabrina Carpenter shimmered in a pearl-encrusted Valentino gown, a color she echoed during her performance of Manchild, where she sported a matching white aviator ensemble complete with a jacket, shorts, and rhinestone-studded boots.
The ceremony, honoring achievements across all musical genres, also shone a spotlight on rising artists and those who’ve made a significant impact on the music scene over the past year. Zara Larsson, whose hit Midnight Sun captivated audiences, delivered an acoustic performance early in the evening. The Swedish singer, nominated for Best Pop Dance Recording for the first time in her 18-year career, made a statement in a custom-made floral-patterned gold ensemble by Kevin Germanier. PinkPantheress paid homage to her British roots with a dress from Vivienne Westwood’s 2012 capsule collection, a bold choice that set her apart. Addison Rae, mentored by Charli xcx, made her Grammy Awards red carpet debut in a white Alaïa dress, channeling the iconic style of Marilyn Monroe. Gesaffelstein, who collaborated with Lady Gaga on her album MAYHEM and won Best Remix for “Abracadabra,” drew attention with a polished black mask that was both unsettling and intriguing.
With nominees spanning pop, rap, and production, the 2026 Grammy Awards served as a truly eclectic fashion showcase. The event underscores the Grammys’ continued influence as a cultural touchstone, blending musical achievement with high-profile style moments.
