Music’s biggest night never disappoints when it comes to fashion, and the 2025 Grammys delivered everything from archival elegance to bold risks that didn’t quite pay off. From ethereal couture to head-turning statements, here’s a breakdown of the best and not-so-good looks of the night.


Best Dressed



Chappell Roan

Owning the night in archival Jean Paul Gaultier couture paired with John Fluevog boots. A theatrical yet structured look that stole the spotlight. She served dramatic opulence with a sculptural silhouette and signature theatrical flair. A star-making moment.




Charli XCX

Dressed in Jean Paul Gaultier with Bucherer fine jewellery, styled by Chris Horan, she nailed gothic glamour with structured draping and sheer panelling that felt both romantic and rebellious.




Doechii

Thom Browne’s signature sculptural tailoring made for an avant-garde masterpiece. The deconstructed corsetry and monochrome palette were pure art.






Sabrina Carpenter

Channelling a modern princess in custom Versace, the eye-catching embellishments and fitted bodice were a lesson in classic glamour.




Taylor Swift

Opting for Vivienne Westwood, she delivered Old Hollywood glamour with a twist—structured draping, dramatic ruching, and a timeless silhouette.




Clairo

Understated elegance in Miss Claire Sullivan, featuring soft pastels and an effortlessly ethereal touch that made minimalism look bold.




Gracie Abrams

A sleek and sophisticated Chanel moment, proving that simplicity and refinement always make a statement.




Troye Sivan

Commanding attention in a periwinkle silk organza suit with a silk organza shirt by Prada, exuding confidence with a fluid and effortless aesthetic.




Beyoncé 

Rare but impactful, Queen B stunned in a custom Schiaparelli gown—tan, covered in sequins, sleeveless, and perfectly sculpted with a scooped neckline.






Cardi B

Always a Grammys favourite, she stunned in custom Roberto Cavalli, proving once again that no one commands a red carpet like her. The exaggerated draping was pure drama.


Not-So-Good Looks



Olivia Rodrigo

A rare miss in vintage Versace. The dress lacked a defining edge to make it pop among the night’s standout looks. She accessorised with Tiffany & Co. jewellery.




Miley Cyrus

Her Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello look leaned more towards stage presence than red carpet polish, a risk that didn’t quite land.




Margaret Qualley

Looked stunning in a neutral spaghetti-strap gown, but it was understated in a way that felt forgettable rather than impactful.




Lady Gaga

Opting for Vivienne Westwood, her look blended classic and futuristic elements, but the overall execution felt too rigid.




Jaden Smith

A slim-cut black Louis Vuitton tux, shirt and tie by MSFTS, topped with a vampire castle-themed headpiece by ABODI. An intriguing concept but slightly overwhelming in execution.




Janelle Monáe

In Area with TAG Heuer accessories, she aimed for structured drama, but the stiff proportions lacked fluidity.




Billie Eilish 

Sticking to her signature aesthetic in Prada, she wore a black jacket, white shirt, navy trousers, silver chain, and black lace-ups, but the look felt more subdued than striking.






RAYE 

Wearing Armani Privé with Nikos Koulis earrings, she had all the makings of a standout, but the styling felt a touch restrained.




Julia Fox

Ever the provocateur, she walked the red carpet in a sheer black mini-dress over a matching thong and bra, layered with a black leather jacket featuring white puffy sleeves, a black sheer hat, and black leather boots. While daring, the ensemble leaned more chaotic than cohesive.




Benson Boone

Opted for Dolce & Gabbana, but the simple styling lacked the personality needed to make an impact on a night that thrives on fashion spectacle.


The 2024 Grammys were a masterclass in fashion highs and experimental lows. While some stars solidified their status as style icons, others proved that even the best take risks that don’t always land. But if there’s one thing we love about Grammys fashion, it’s that it’s never boring.
