WINNING: It was great seeing more African talent representing, such as South African singer, Tyla, who went home with her first Grammy award.
From Jay-Z’s eyebrow-raising remarks during his acceptance speech to the first Afro-beats performance by Burna Boy at the Grammy Awards, there was no shortage of surprises at the award show. It was also great seeing more African talent representation, such as South African singer, Tyla, who went home with her first Grammy award making it a truly remarkable night. However, the real wins were made when the stars started making their arrival at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
From skin-revealing pieces to over-the-top ensembles, the fashion was being served in all forms.
In no particular order, here are some of the remarkable looks worn by the stars.
- Jon Batiste custom Atelier Versace
We love to see suits given a whole new spin, especially for a red-carpet affair such as this, which is why this look on singer Jon Batiste is a fashion win. The grey suit was elevated with the pleated skirt added to it which makes this a note-worthy fashion moment. This is a look only a few people have the power to pull off and you did it a lot of justice.
- Taylor Swift in custom Schiaparelli
The Album of the Year award winner was already winning long before she stepped onto the stage to collect her accolade from Singer Céline Dion. Her Schiaparelli gown that featured a thigh-high lift was elevated by her black gloves, adding some much-needed character to this attire.
- Janelle Monáe in custom Giorgio Armani Privé
The queen of monochromes kept in theme to her favourite hue combo with this shimmery Giorgio Armani Prive gown. Her only accessories were her chocker necklace and pixie-style hairdo, which served the look well.
- Tyla in Versace
This is the dress you wear when you know you are going to have a big night! The South African star opted for a minty green gown, with strategic cutout and knotted ends, which kind of reminded me of Jennifer Lopez’s show-stopping moment in a piece from the same fashion house. Her belly button ring brought this look together beautifully, keeping it playful, but still elegant.
- Lionel Richie in Alexander McQueen
The legendary singer wore a black-suited look from the fashion house, Alexander McQueen. And while this could have easily passed for an ordinary look, the embellishment of the dragonfly splashed across the double-breasted jacket makes this a noteworthy look.
