The 68th Annual Grammy Awards took place on February 1, 2026, in Los Angeles and featured several spectacular performances (in fact, more than the number of awards) and eye-catching outfits. The red carpet was flooded with show stopping style, from bold couture to intricate, personalized designs, proving that the Grammys are equally about fashion and music. Here are some of the best red carpet looks:
Olivia Dean: Timeless yet Modern
Singer-songwriter Olivia Dean stepped onto the red carpet in a Chanel evening gown with a shimmery black bodice and sweeping white satin skirt. Dean finished off the look with Chanel heels and Cartier jewelry.
KATSEYE: Individual yet One
Global girl group KATSEYE arrived at the red carpet for the 2026 Grammy Awards in coordinated silver looks by Ludovic de Saint Sernin. The group rocked floor-length gowns and edgy Y2K-inspired silhouettes, their ensemble blending lace, leather, and crystal with sheer florals, rhinestones, and chokers.
Paris Hilton: Drama and Glamour
Paris Hilton made a dramatic entrance to the 2026 Grammys red carpet in a crystal-encrusted black gown by Nicolas Jebran, featuring a structural off-the-shoulder neckline, side slit, and intricate beading. She finished off the look with black velvet opera gloves, a wide choker, diamond accents, and sparkling pointed-toe pumps.
Zara Larsson: Elegant summer vibes
Zara Larsson shone in a hand-beaded golden-yellow asymmetrical bra and a maxi skirt set adorned with floral sequins by Germanier, offering a mermaid-chic silhouette that echoed her nostalgic summery hits. She truly brought the “Midnight Sun.”
