Sabrina Carpenter has had an eventful 2024 and welcomed 2025 with a bang. Nominated for six awards, Carpenter walked the 2025 Grammy Awards red carpet in a periwinkle halter dress that accentuated her figure. The dress featured feather detailing at the waist and hem. Her hair was styled up, with a few curls framing her face. The “Espresso” singer completed her look with minimal jewelry.

Olivia Rodrigo looks stunning in a black cut-out dress. Fresh off her Guts World Tour, Rodrigo is nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media for “Can’t Catch Me Now.” The “driver's license” singer styled her hair in soft curls, exuding a sultry vibe. She completed her look with dangling earrings, a delicate bracelet, and a few rings.

Zedd managed to stand out without going overboard. The Grammy-nominated record producer wore a tweed suit that fit him perfectly. On awards night, many men wear forgettable black suits that make them look like everyone else, or, in an attempt to stand out, wear flamboyant outfits. Zedd kept it classy yet different with his dark green and black suit, which he accessorized with a ring and a watch.

This year, Taylor Swift kept it simple yet striking in a red one-shoulder minidress by Vivienne Westwood. The “All Too Well” singer still managed to turn heads. She accessorized with red dangling earrings and a bold thigh chain featuring a “T” pendant, which fans speculate is a nod to her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

Some might argue that Gracie Abrams should not be on this list. At first glance, her dress might seem underwhelming, but she’s on this list because her look is timeless and perfectly aligned with her brand. She looked ethereal, exactly what you’d expect a pop-folk artist to wear on a red carpet. The “Risk” singer wore a white Chanel gown with black belt detailing and a veil.

We love the duality of Kelsea Ballerini’s dress. The “Cowboys Cry Too” singer was nominated for Best Country Duo/Group Performance with Noah Kahan. Ballerini wore a short black dress with a long cape that doubled as a train during her red-carpet appearance. But we think she’ll ditch the cape later tonight, to be more party-ready!

Cardi B channeled old Hollywood glam in a figure-hugging dress with a trailing hem adorned with multi-colored feathers. Nominated for Best Rap Performance for “Enough (Miami),” the rapper styled her hair in soft, voluminous curls. She kept her accessories minimal and opted for a nude makeup look that perfectly complemented her ensemble.

Much like her look at the Golden Globes, Miley Cyrus chose a Saint Laurent black cut-out dress that highlighted her figure and showcased her toned abs. She paired the dress with Tiffany & Co. jewelry. Her hair was straightened and sleek, with full bangs framing her face. Cyrus was one of the early Grammy winners, taking home Best Country Duo/Group Performance alongside Beyoncé for “II Most Wanted.”

Victoria Monét looked effortlessly classy in her cutout dress with a flowing cape that beautifully accentuated her figure. She paired the look with a shimmering necklace that enhanced her ethereal vibe. She looks like she stepped out of a fantasy novel or ancient Greek mythology.

John Legend played it safe with a monotone outfit, but he still earned a spot on our best-dressed list. His look was polished, and the suit featured a subtle, snake-skin embossed pattern that added a quirky touch. Instead of the traditional necktie, he opted for a satin bow tie.

Charli XCX attended the Grammy Awards wearing a gray ruffled dress. The color of the dress made her pop because of its striking contrast with the red carpet. She paired the dress with black knee-high boots, which were visible thanks to the thigh-high slit at the front. The corset detailing of the dress accentuated her figure. Her album ‘Brat’ was nominated for Album of the Year and won the Best Dance/Electronic Album and Best Recording Package.

Nominated for Best New Artist (a category that Chappell Roan won), Benson Boone looked dashing in a dark blue suit, going shirtless underneath. He completed the look with a necklace and several rings, adding a touch of edge to his ensemble. He also posed on the red carpet rocking dark brown aviator sunglasses.
