The Grammys have come and gone, and everyone was dressed to the nines . . . though some looked like they spent $9.99 on Shein. Fashion is one of the most widely practiced art forms in popular culture, and yet so many celebrities at this year’s ceremony missed the mark.
Starting off with a positive, Lizzo turned heads with her adventurous floral Dolce and Gabbana ballgown and flawless makeup.
Adele looked gorgeous in a Burgundy Louis Vuitton velvet gown.
Other head turners include Shania Twain in a bold, cow-printed Harris Reed suit as did Black Chyna in a straight-from-hell feathery black one piece.
Heidi Klum turned heads in a moth-like cleavage-y gold dress, as did Cardi B in a deep blue Gaurav Gupta floor length gown.
I’d like to comment on some of the male attendees; however, four out of five of them were wearing plain black tuxedos, or even, heaven forbid, jeans.
Some safe, but still well-crafted looks were worn by Taylor Swift who donned a sparkly midnight blue Roberto Cavalli two-piece dress and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in an expensive tan suit. Tems also looked lovely in a gold Vivienne Westwood piece. Bebe Rexha wore a plain but beautiful bubblegum pink dress.
And now onto the fun part: the fashion train wrecks we all know and love. Benny Blanco showed up looking like a little kid’s imaginary friend, but sort of in a fun way. Pharrell was an eyesore in full red leather, and Hitkidd dressed down in jeans and a blazer. Machine Gun Kelly looked, as always, like he just stepped out of McDonalds after a nine hour shift, greasy and exhausted. Kacey Musgraves channeled Horton Hears a Who in a feathery, pink Valentino jumpsuit.
I truly don’t know how to feel about Harry Styles’s Egonlab checkered overalls—creative yet so odd to look at. The same can be said about Anderson Paak’s curtain-like botanical suit and Måneskin’s Gucci matching sets. Jack Harlow, who wore a khaki suit over a sweater vest looked nice, save for the oddly unmatched leather gloves.
