The music industry’s biggest night returned to Los Angeles on February 1, as artists and icons descended upon the Crypto.com Arena for the 68th Grammy Awards. The red carpet served as a dazzling prelude to the ceremony, showcasing a spectacular array of fashion statements and poignant tributes.
In a heartfelt nod to her late husband, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, Sharon Osbourne arrived wearing his iconic circular sunglasses, paired with an elegant black gown. The evening is set to feature a special musical homage to Osbourne, with performances by Slash and Post Malone.
Fashion took center stage with bold and inventive choices. FKA twigs, nominated for Best Dance/Electronic Album, carried a journal as a distinctive accessory with her avant-garde look. Lady Gaga commanded attention in a dramatic black feathered dress, while Bad Bunny exuded classic cool in a sleek black velvet suit as he heads into the night with multiple nominations.
The spectrum of style was vast. Karol G chose a sheer, off-the-shoulder design, and Kelsea Ballerini shimmered in gold. Lainey Wilson stayed true to her roots, pairing a black jumpsuit with her signature cowboy hat, and Paris Hilton made a glamorous entrance in a structured gown with striking arm-length gloves.
Veterans and newcomers alike shared the spotlight. Songwriting icon Diane Warren opted for a sharp white blazer over black, and country music powerhouse Reba McEntire beamed alongside her fiancé, Rex Linn. Among the fresh faces, Best New Artist nominees like Sombr in a silver-embellished suit and Lola Young in a chic olive set made their mark.
The carpet also glittered with sequins and metallics, from red carpet correspondent Keltie Knight’s beaded dress to Zara Larsson’s dazzling gold two-piece set. Artists including Teddy Swims, Yungblud, Michelle Williams, Ayra Starr, and reality TV star Leah Kateb each brought their unique flair, ensuring the 2026 Grammys began with a unforgettable display of personality and panache.
