2021’s award season had just started, and we can’t get enough! Having had spent a lot of time in sweatpants at home, having a sartorial escape in the form of red carpet fashion is especially welcome this year. So after the Golden Globes and the Critic’s Choice Awards – yesterday, the 2021 Grammy Awards took place. And, with music’s biggest night comes plenty of bold and daring style choices from the industry’s hottest talent. No event matches its mix of outré style and attention-grabbing outfits. One of the few occasions where a little black dress or simple tux just won’t cut it, its red carpet necessitates bold expressions of personality.
Airing yesterday (Sunday night), the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards were a long time coming, as they were originally supposed to take place in January before being postponed to March due to the pandemic – which means that the A-listers in attendance have had plenty of time to plan out their red carpet looks. So, without further ado, let’s dive in and review this year’s best-dressed celebs at the Grammys.

Beyoncé might not have performed on the 2021 Grammys stage, but make no mistake: She’s still the queen of the Grammys red carpet. After rumors that she might not appear at this year’s ceremony, Beyoncé showed up in a timeless black dress, which she wore with equally stunning earrings. Bey’s mini dress, a custom Schiaparelli creation designed by creative director Daniel Roseberry, features a plunging neckline, off-the-shoulder sleeves, and gathered leather. The singer completed her look with matching gloves and black heels, and long, gold earrings, also from Schiaparelli. Taking home 4 awards, Beyonce made history by becoming the artist with the most Grammys. Bow down to the Queen B.

Another woman to make history yesterday is Taylor Swift, as she became the first female artist to win ‘Album of The Year’ three times. And Swift definitely wore an appropriate outfit for the historic occasion. Swift wore a floral mini dress from Oscar de la Renta with a pair of Louboutin heels and Cathy Waterman jewelry to walk the red carpet and accept her award. She also covered up with a stylish matching floral face mask when necessary. Designed with long bell sleeves and a mock neck, the fitted mini dress features a colorful array of eye-catching embroidered flowers that are reminiscent of spring.

‘Best Pop Vocal Album’ winner, Dua Lipa graced the Grammy Awards red carpet in an eye-catching Versace creation that was completely see-through and covered in crystals. Lipa’s gown featured an intricate, sparkling butterfly on the bodice, with its antennae joining the dress’s spaghetti straps to add to the rhinestone-encrusted neckline. The dress’s flowing, mesh-and-crystal skirt, which featured a super-high, thigh-grazing slit, covered a pink bikini-style lining. The singer completed her look with strappy high heels as well as ANANYA and Spinelli Kilcollin Delphinius rings.

Sister band Haim, showed off their style at this year’s Grammys red carpet.
The trio walked the red carpet in periwinkle Prada ensembles, all of which featured the same sleeveless dress and pointed kitten heels. However, the outfits were all styled differently. Alana Haim wore a blue jacket draped over her dress and long pants underneath. Danielle Haim also wore pants but accessorized with larger triangle earrings than her younger sister. Este Haim arguably wore the most unique version of the outfit, with a high-neck shirt covered in cutouts underneath her dress, and was the only one not wearing pants.
