Sparkle, colour pop amid more subdued tones on Grammys red carpet

The 67th Grammy Awards kicked off on Sunday with a red carpet full of black and subdued tones against the backdrop of loss and devastation from the Los Angeles wildfires. But there was plenty of sparkle and statement looks in huge sleeves and embellishment. The colour red had a moment on Haley Kalil and others.

Bridal vibe

Sierra Ferrell won big with four Grammys. She did it just as big in a huge white gown that evoked a way enthusiastic bride with no fashion fears, designed by Jeffrey Kelly Designs.

Ferrell’s dress included huge luminescent sleeves, pearl embellishment all over and a matching choker piece. And she didn’t forget her bold bride’s veil — a head piece with pearls and flower touches above large pearl chandelier earrings.

Vintage feel

Chappell Roan walked in a vintage look from Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture, long wavy red hair flowing down her back. Her signature white powder makeup was full of colour; yellows and blues and pinks and reds. Roan’s look had touches of teal and images of Degas’ dancers on the skirt. It was Gaultier vintage from spring 2003.

Signature style

Sabrina Carpenter was among those who stuck close to her signature style codes, Betancourt said. She opted for a baby blue satin gown by Jonathan Anderson for Loewe with a tousled updo and plunging back with feather boa detailing.

Red was a vibe

Taylor Swift wore a short red sparkler by Vivienne Westwood. A little chain at one side of the hem dangled with red jewels, including a tiny ‘T’.

Beyonce dazzles

Beyonce skipped the red carpet but showed up in custom Schiaparelli to collect the best country album award.

The body-hugger was embroidered in a bandana pattern. It was covered in sparkling sequins and beads in champagne and cream. Her opera gloves elevated the look.

Subdued look

Cardi B wore a custom Roberto Cavalli Couture creation. The mermaid design was a true body hugger. It was covered in hand-embroidered beads and sequins.

Gothic vibe

Lady Gaga shut down the carpet in bulky black. Her custom look from designer Samuel Lewis had pointy shoulders, long sleeves and a huge ball gown skirt. Her hair was equally vampirish; short bangs and spiky tendrils. — AP
