The 56th Annual Grammy Awards was full of leather, lace and Lanvin. Stars showed up in flowing gowns, flirty minidresses and dapper suits. And while many of the night’s nominees went home empty-handed, they still left an impression on the red carpet. Here are some of the night’s fashions.
Mommy-to-be Ciara was glowing, literally, on the red carpet in a floor-length, rose-gold gown by Emilio Pucci.
Best R&B Album winner Alicia Keys was radiant in a cobalt blue gown with a plunging neckline.
Grammy nominee Miguel rocked out in an all-black ensemble which included leather pants and pointed boots.
Tamar Braxton, who was nominated in three categories (Best R&B Performance, Best R&B Song and Best Urban Contemporary Album), wowed in a sultry strapless dress by Michael Costello.
Funny man Kevin Hart wore a black and gold Lanvin suit on the red carpet while posing with his girlfriend, Eniko Parrish.
Chrissy Teigen, model and wife of Best R&B Album nominee John Legend, arrived to the Grammys in a glittering golden gown by Johanna Johnson.
Tasha Cobbs took home the Grammy for Best Gospel/Contemporary Christian Music in a bold blue peplum dress.
Chrisette Michelle, who was nominated for Best R&B Album, showed off her sexy side in a patterned suit with a peek-a-boo black bra.
Ashanti sported a short blonde bob and matching mini dress on the Grammys red carpet.
Jamie Foxx was joined on the Grammys red carpet by his usual date, daughter Corinne Bishop, who wore a patterned skirt and cropped top.
Paula Patton supported her Grammy nominated husband, Robin Thicke, at this year’s Grammys in a zebra-print gown.
Grammy winner Pharrell stole the show with his casual threads and comically large Vivienne Westwood hat.
British singer Rita Ora lit up the red carpet in an iridescent Lanvin knee-length dress.
Amber Rose walked the carpet with her husband, Wiz Khalifa, in a Roaring ’20s-style gown by Naeem Khan. She even covered her tattoos for the occasion.
Disney star Zendaya Coleman ditched her usual sleek style for a sheer, patchwork and polka dot dress by Emanuel Ungaro.
Grammy performer Madonna showed up to the Grammys in a Ralph Lauren pantsuit, a cane, a hat and a grill. But it seemed her pimp-like threads were just an attempt to overshadow her recent racist tweet.
I’m not sure if it’s the giraffe-print embellishments or the thigh-high middle slit, but something about “R&B Divas” singer Faith Evans‘ black sequined gown is a bit unflattering.
Fantasia Barrino, who was nominated for three Grammys (Best Urban Contemporary Album, Best Traditional R&B Performance, Best R&B Song), wore an interesting lace number by Isabel Toledo.
