Best and worst looks from the 2019 Grammy Awards
The Los Angeles Times Image section examines the red-carpet looks at the 2019 Grammy Awards. Some are beautiful showstoppers; others are jaw-droppers.
(Marcus Yam / Los Angeles Times)Bebe Rexha found the right fit in this voluminous chiffon cherry red gown featuring multi-layered ruffles and deep plunging neckline by Monsoori as she arrives.
(Marcus Yam / Los Angeles Times)Miley Cyrus is pure glam in Mugler’s pre-fall 2019 oversized black jacket with fitted and flared trousers as she arrives. Grounding the look are custom shoes emblazoned with a single gold metal “M” and “C.”
(Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP)Dua Lipa goes for a sleek look with her silver and blue metallic gown by Versace. The backless frock and its luxe fabric layering down into a train definitely lands her on our show-stopping red-carpet list at the 61st Grammys.
(Marcus Yam / Los Angeles Times)St. Vincent brings her avante garde style to the Grammy red carpet in a floral one piece coupled with a caped train from Giambattista Valli Couture (with Giuseppe Zanotti shoes).
(Marcus Yam / Los Angeles Times)Smokey Robinson shows the younger generation what style cred looks like in a red silk jacket with black pockets.
(Marcus Yam / Los Angeles Times)Quincy was definitely a standout among the men in a printed graphic lettering jacquard jacket, matching trousers and a mandarin collar jacquard printed dress shirt from the fall/winter 2019 Ermenegildo Zegna XXX collection.

This look definitely will ensure her a place among the most-talked about of the night’s red carpet.
(Marcus Yam / Los Angeles Times)It couple Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez strike a pose – she in a straight-from-the-runway embroidered Ralph & Russo gown with a matching wide-brimmed hat -- as they arrive at the 61st Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.
(Marcus Yam / Los Angeles Times)Lady Gaga takes a break from her silver-screen red-carpet duties for Grammy night. For music’s big night Gaga, an Academy Award nominee, stuns on the Grammys red carpet in a hand-embroidered silver sequined gown with pearls and side ruching by Celine by Hedi Slimane.
(Marcus Yam / Los Angeles Times)For the Grammys, H.E.R. ends up on our showstoppers list thanks to a custom Coach embellished purple jacquard jumpsuit with more than 25 types of crystals and paillettes, which, according to press materials, were hand-applied by eight artisans in the brand’s New York atelier.

Here he’s wearing a blue band jacket, black turtleneck, moto pants and Chelsea boots from Coach’s spring 2019 collection.
(Neilson Barnard / Getty Images for The Recording Academy)Margo Price proves her star power in this feminine yet powerful Kimberly Parker Atelier gown with a V-neck and a thigh-high slit at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday.
(Rich Fury/Getty Images)Kacey Musgraves is pure elegance in a baby pink tulle Valentino Couture gown with a red sash and a chic fan detail.
(Marcus Yam / Los Angeles Times)Camilla Cabello dons a sequined, floor-length Armani Privé showstopper with a dramatic open back.
(Neilson Barnard / Getty Images)Leon Bridges represents his home state in this head-to-toe homage to Texas from New York designer Bode. His look also contains shout-outs to Ford Motor Co., being single and more.
(Jon Kopaloff / Getty Images)Katy Perry looks like a slave to the rhythm in an extra plus plus Balmain gown. We can’t decide if this confection resembles a pink lightbulb or an elongated cupcake.
(Marcus Yam / Los Angeles Times)Janelle Monáe gets credit for dropping one of the most interesting albums of 2018, but this hyper-plunging V-neck look with power shoulders from Jean Paul Gaultier seems overly ’80s. It might be a bit too Dominique Deveraux-Alexis Carrington from the old “Dynasty” for its own good. Then again, it was a night of ’80s-inspired fashion worn by many stars.
(Marcus Yam / Los Angeles Times)Kylie Jenner shows more of the giant shoulder detailing often seen during much of the 61st Grammys. Here, she’s in a pink Balmain haute couture jumpsuit, but, as with the others, we were not amused with this overdone look.
(Marcus Yam / Los Angeles Times)Heidi Klum might have hit the ’80s cocktail cart a little too hard on Sunday for the Grammys in Los Angeles. Klum, often a red-carpet-fashion favorite, opted for a winged look that reminded us of something left over from a Victoria’s Secret Angel’s closet.
(Marcus Yam / Los Angeles Times)Charlie Puth has us wondering what went wrong in an ill-fitting cognac kid mohair double-breasted suit by Prada as he arrives Sunday at the 61st Grammys in Los Angeles.
(Jordan Strauss / Invision/AP)Ricky Rebel apparently went to the same sartorial shop as Joy Villa. Escorting Villa to the Grammys, he wore a jacket that recalls a gown Villa wore to the Grammys in 2017. For her part, Villa dressed this year as a border wall.
(Marcus Yam / Los Angeles Times)Joy Villa makes her political leanings known once again on the Grammys red carpet – this time in what appears to be a reference to President Trump’s desire to build a border wall between the United States and Mexico.
