The 2026 Grammy Awards delivered on every level — from groundbreaking music moments to red-carpet fashion that refused to play it safe. On Sunday night in Los Angeles, stars showed up in looks that ranged from elegant couture to outright spectacle, with artists like Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter and Justin Bieber among those dominating the style conversation as much as the awards stage itself.

At the centre of the fashion storm was Chappell Roan, who confirmed her status not only as a breakout artist but as a fearless fashion force. Arriving in a sheer Thierry Mugler gown that left little to the imagination, Roan’s look was one of the most talked-about of the entire night — a statement that blurred the lines between couture and performance art and echoed her bold artistic trajectory over the past year.

Sabrina Carpenter, a nominee across multiple key categories and a standout live performer, brought timeless glamour to the carpet with a custom Valentino mermaid gown encrusted with pearls and beaded floral details. The gown’s old-Hollywood silhouette and modern embellishments perfectly matched her rise in both pop charts and critical acclaim this awards season. Despite facing some social media controversy over elements of her live Grammy performance, Carpenter’s fashion was widely praised as one of the night’s most elegant.

Justin Bieber, whose recent album Swag was among the contenders for Album of the Year, embraced a slightly different kind of statement — pairing a sharp Balenciaga suit on the red carpet with a daring performance in satin boxers during the ceremony itself. His dual approach — classic tailoring off-stage and unexpected performance art on it — underscored a career that continues to evolve in unpredictable ways.

Among other bold looks, avant-garde icons like Lady Gaga made an impact with dramatic couture — her black feathered gown reinforcing her mythic presence both on the music stage and on the carpet. Gaga also walked away with multiple Grammys, including Best Pop Vocal Album for Mayhem, showcasing that her creative power extends far beyond fashion into undeniable musical dominance.

Billie Eilish, another fashion favourite, opted for a sleek, restrained ensemble adorned with a political “ICE Out” pin that captured the night’s blending of style and social statement. Eilish’s win for Song of the Year with “Wildflower” further cemented her status as a defining voice of her generation.
