Awards mean fashion and a lot, but Grammys are something special. No event matches her mix of outre style and eye-catching dresses. One of the few occasions when a little black dress or a simple tuxedo just doesn’t cut it, your red carpet needs bold expressions of personality. The design pieces chosen by the artists who attend them often do more than look good – they state exactly who they are and their musical message. At the 2021 ceremony, the mood was irreverent and bold. The tone was set by Harry Styles, who began the ceremony with a new rendition of his hit, “Watermelon Sugar” and a reinterpretation of his characteristic appearance. Wearing a black Gucci leather dress from head to toe and a mint feather boa, Styles went glam rock while showing off a fresh face of her sound and character on stage.
As a Versace girl approved by Donatella, Dua Lipa is used to wearing the plain dresses of the Italian brand, but in a transparent pink dress barely elongated with crystals, she was the dream girl of the other world. For a sultry glamor, Chloe and Halle’s double adopts a gold, personalized Louis Vuitton to suit every Bailey’s sister’s personality.
Of course, there was more than one way to get attention. With the Gucci bucket hat and play mask, Billie Ellish handed out the funny electronic girls, while field head Mickey Gunton was ethereal in Valentino’s butterfly-covered transparent cloak. Cynthia Erivo, a regal presence on any red carpet, proved why she is one of Hollywood’s most elegant women by bringing drama with a designer column dress by Nicolas Ghesquière that is among the best looks of the entire awards season.
