The 2025 GRAMMY award stage may have been full of surprises - none of which this column has any authority to speak on - but the carpet on the other hand featured some of my new favorite fashion moments from varying artists. Here are my four favorite looks of the night:
Chappell Roan
The now GRAMMY award winning pop star Chappell Roan stepped onto the carpet in an absolute Parisian vision in a 2003 Jean Paul Gaultier butter and blue colored tulle gown. A depiction of Edgar Degas’ “Dancer with a Bouquet” cascaded across the skirt, with additional tufts of tulle used to bring the ballerinas even more to life. Ornamented with coordinating blue flowers and bird nests along the skirt and neckline, and styled with bold laced up leather boots by John Fluevog - this look was just as alluring and fun as the artist’s discography.
Doechii
“Alligator Bites Never Heal” artist and rap sensation Doechii stunned on the GRAMMYs red carpet and award stage in custom Thome Browne. The designer’s aptitude for striking the perfect balance of masculine tailoring and feminine details made the maison a perfect match for the inspirational artist. Her carpet look consisted of a gray figure-fitting structured gown, featuring classic pinstripes, delicate off-the-shoulder straps and impeccable tailoring. Layered on top of a collared shirt and tie, this ensemble meant business and reflected the meaningful career Doechii has ahead of her.
Sabrina Carpenter
Current pop-princess Sabrina Carpenter and her familiar blonde curls took a sultry step onto the GRAMMYs carpet in a custom JW Anderson piece. The satin, backless gown was made in her signature “Short n’ Sweet” powder blue and featured nothing short of fabulous blue feather trim and a diamond-encrusted pendant chain hanging down her back. The longer-than-life skirt draped behind her and her peep-toe mules beautifully brought a new gracefulness to the typically kitschy Irish designer. Her soft up-do and halter neckline were especially consistent with the star’s recent “old Hollywood” styling philosophy, and thanks to her stylist Jared Ellner we will definitely have the pleasure of seeing more of these gorgeous looks in the future!
Clairo Best Alternative Music Album nominee, Clairo, made an incredible first impression on the GRAMMYs red carpet. She collaborated with fellow Claire, emerging designer Miss Claire Sullivan, to create my absolute favorite look of the night. The gown was a draped fabric, polka-dotted dream. Inspired by “Charm’s” playful and sexy ambience, the calf-hitting gown featured darling puff sleeves, a buttoned collar and classy polka-dot fabric - that not only appeared in the Vivienne Westwood inspired corset but the draped sash across the skirt. The look was styled with nostalgic mary jane heels, silver coin purse and a neat swept micro-bang, turning this look into something almost from another time.
