Grammy Awards 2026: The most daring looks on the red carpet

Some fashion risks on music’s biggest night missed the mark

The music industry’s biggest night, the Grammy Awards, showcased outfits that landed on a high note while others fell a bit flat.

The night will see Trevor Noah host the prestigious awards for the sixth consecutive time, as rap and pop artists alike arrive at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles for Sunday’s 68th annual ceremony.

From Olivia Dean to Kendrick Lamar, some of the biggest names in music are slated to walk the red carpet. Already, we’ve seen some stars dazzle, while others stuck out for completely different reasons, whether they left much to be desired or struggled to make a cohesive ensemble.

From odd t-shirts to over-the-top features, some celebrities made striking choices.

Here are some of the most daring looks from the 2026 Grammy Awards.
