Strutting in style: the best and boldest looks from the 2025 Grammys red carpet
The Grammys have been the hot topic of the year so far, from who won what to who wore what. And, of course, there were some over-the-top moments that had us thinking, hell yes and hell no!
But let us focus on the positive.
Jaden and Willow Smith have always pushed the boundaries of fashion. Who can forget Jaden’s 2016 Louis Vuitton womenswear campaign or that time he rocked a white Batman suit to Kim and Kanye’s wedding?
Willow, on the other hand, has slayed in everything from avant-garde Rick Owens pieces to high-fashion Afrofuturistic ensembles.
This time, Jaden went for a sleek black Louis Vuitton suit, but it was his towering "Vampire Castle" headpiece by ABODI that really stole the show.
With castle spires encircling his face, the design instantly reminded fans of Willem Dafoe’s viral 2023 “GQ Italia” cover.
Social media had a field day, debating whether it was a fashion masterpiece or just straight-up chaotic. Either way, he had everyone talking.
Meanwhile, Willow kept it equally bold with a striking black outfit, voluminous curls, and metallic grills - one featuring a bright green front tooth.
She was nominated for two awards, but Jaden was there supporting their father, Will Smith, who was presenting at the ceremony.
Cardi B, who recently got a butt crack piercing (thankfully, not showcased on the red carpet), arrived in a feathery gold and black ensemble, channelling old Hollywood glamour.
Her Roberto Cavalli gown was hand-embroidered with a tiger print and decked out with feathers and sequins. The plunging neckline, dramatic train and ombré lips screamed vintage drama, while her smoky cat eyes and bob hairstyle sealed the deal.
And let’s not forget the gold and diamond Le Vian earrings and serpent cocktail rings, because, in true Cardi B fashion, she never does subtle.
Lady Gaga has had her fair share of wild fashion moments - remember the raw meat dress in 2010? Or when she showed up at the Grammys inside a giant egg in 2011?
This time, she embraced her inner Wednesday Addams with a gothic-inspired black Vivienne Westwood gown.
Featuring lace details, puffed Victorian sleeves, and a voluminous ruched skirt, it was dramatic yet refined. She completed the look with a green Tiffany & Co. pendant, straight hair and front bangs for extra mystery.
It was Gaga, but 2.0 sophisticated.
Alicia Keys looked like a glowing goddess and, no, we’re not just talking about her flawless skin. She wore a simple yet stunning Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda black gown, but it was her accessories that really took things up a notch.
A jewel-encrusted corset belt, a Dolce & Gabbana Alta Gioielleria headpiece, and matching earrings gave her an air of regal sophistication - almost as if she had just stepped out of a Renaissance painting.
Who needs excessive frills when you have presence?
Sabrina Carpenter, basically the modern Marilyn Monroe (though let’s be real, no one can top the original), brought old-school glamour with a fresh twist.
She graced the red carpet in a light-blue feathered dress with an open back, giving us Cinderella at the ball - if Cinderella also had a record-breaking pop hit.
Styled with Chopard jewellery and a curled bob, she looked effortlessly elegant and ready for her next pop princess moment.
From the bold and bizarre to the effortlessly glamorous, the 2025 Grammys red carpet gave us everything we love - fashion risks, unforgettable moment and plenty to talk about. Until next year.
