Rising music stars ushered in a fresh new era of red carpet dressing at the Grammys on Sunday as they embodied their music personas and let their style take center stage. <\/p>\n
Addison Rae, Olivia Dean, Doechii and Chappell Roan shined on the carpet with each artist bringing their own flair to the 68th Grammy Awards. Unlike other red carpets filled with demure evening wear looks and old Hollywood glamour, the Grammys<\/a> are a night of rule-breaking looks and memorable fashion statements.<\/p>\n With some major industry names like Beyonc\u00e9 and Taylor Swift absent from the night, newcomers had the chance to take up space.<\/p>\n \u201cSome years when really established names like a Rihanna or a Taylor Swift comes, they can kind of suck up all the oxygen in the room and really command the spotlight as they\u2019ve earned,\u201d Halie LeSavage, Marie Claire’s senior fashion news editor, said. \u201cBut in this case, there\u2019s a really strong field of best new artists nominees who \u2026 have created a really distinct sense of personal style.\u201d <\/p>\n Roan is not one to waste the opportunity to make a red carpet fashion statement. In a departure from last year’s canary yellow Jean Paul Gaultier tulle ballgown, Roan embraced naked dressing, removing her sheer red garnet Mugler cape to show a georgette n\u00e9glig\u00e9e dress that was attached to her breasts. The low-cut dress revealed a design on her back.<\/p>\n \u201cShe’s such a shape-shifter,\u201d InStyle Beauty Director Lauren Valenti said. \u201cShe was just kind of looking like this moody pre-Raphaelite goddess.\u201d <\/p>\n Statement pins <\/p>\n Among the glitz and glamour, simple pins stood out across the carpet. Some of the biggest names in music, including Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey Bieber along with Kehlani, used their platform to speak out against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement by wearing \u201cICE OUT\u201d pins following the Trump administration’s deportation campaign in cities across the country. <\/p>\n Several artists including Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny and Olivia Dean used their acceptance speeches to speak up in support of immigrants. <\/p>\n \u201cI wanna say I\u2019m up here as a granddaughter of an immigrant, I wouldn\u2019t be here,” Dean said. \u201cI\u2019m a product of bravery, and I think those people deserve to be celebrated.\u201d <\/p>\n Stars take playful approach <\/p>\n Red carpet attendees took playful approaches to their looks Sunday.<\/p>\n The British rising stars Lola Young and PinkPantheress who are shaking up the music industry with their individual sounds both opted for vastly different Vivienne Westwood looks Sunday. Best new artist nominee Young, who is back after taking a brief hiatus last year, sported an army green sweatsuit printed with children\u2019s toys on the carpet. PinkPantheress opted for a signature corseted off-the-shoulder gown draped with the Union Jack symbol. <\/p>\n Zara Larsson glowed on the carpet in her sunny yellow bra top and skirt sequined set referencing her \u201cMidnight Sun\u201d hit song. In keeping with her theme, the Swedish singer wore a circular ray around her skirt while performing at the Grammy\u2019s Premiere Ceremony before removing the rays for her walk down the carpet. <\/p>\n FKA twigs brought her album \u201cEusexua\u201d to life on the carpet wearing a beige sheer flowy Paolo Carzana dress which she paired with a book and an anthurium symbolizing her eras as an artist from the start of her career to her latest album. <\/p>\n Doechii shed her suited Thom Browne apparel from last year for a dramatic Roberto Cavalli royal purple bustled dress with a strappy sheer bodice. Like Doechii’s bombshell updo, one trend of the night was ’90s supermodel hair, Valenti said.<\/p>\n Coordinating on the carpet <\/p>\n British girl group Flo, a first-time nominee, paid homage to Destiny\u2019s Child with their matching sets. Jorja Douglas, Stella Quaresma and Ren\u00e9e Downer each wore coordinated beaded black and royal blue ensembles from Luar. Destiny\u2019s Child famously wore matching green lace cut-out looks at the 2001 Grammys where the group won two awards.<\/p>\n Flo brought back that synergy with their unified aesthetic.<\/p>\n \u201cWe actually have a sixth sense and a lot of things we just agree on,\u201d Quaresma told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n Former Destiny Child member Michelle Williams arrived on the carpet in a black sheer gown embellished with gold leaves and a black satin train from Jean-Louis Sabaji.<\/p>\n Other girl groups kept with the matching theme, including Katseye in white lace Ludovic de Saint Sernin dresses and the band HAIM dressed in variations of black and silver chained looks from Louis Vuitton. <\/p>\n Love bugs Yungblud and Jesse Jo Stark took a risqu\u00e9 approach to their coordinated attire. Yungblud showed off his bare chest under a leather Chrome Hearts’ jacket with a detachable animal print collar and Stark wore a leather halter dress.<\/p>\n Some stars accidentally took coordinating too far by wearing the same looks. Two stars had a fashion face-off at the start of the night with singer Ledisi and TV host Jasmine Simpkins both flaunting the same off-the-shoulder pink peach dress with sparkly tinsel.<\/p>\n Sparkles, lace and feathers<\/p>\n
