The 2026 Grammys red carpet was the place to make a statement. And stars like Chappell Roan, Kelsea Ballerini, and Sabrina Carpenter certainly delivered, turning up the fashion drama at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on Feb. 1.
The star-studded ceremony was packed with unforgettable moments both on and off the stage, but the fashion was already stealing the spotlight long before the awards were handed out.
For Kelsea Ballerini, her look was months in the making. After receiving her Grammy nomination for Patterns, fashion house Etro quickly stepped in to design her ensemble for the big night.
“They sent me sketches last November,” the country singer said Live From the Grammys host Zuri Hall. Showing off the detailed design, she added, “Look at the back—I’m so obsessed with it. And the fringe at the bottom? I love it. I feel like a princess.”
Addison Rae also made a memorable debut at her first-ever Grammys. Collaborating with Alaïa creative director Pieter Mulier and stylist Dara Allen, the Best New Artist nominee focused on one simple goal.
“I just wanted something that made me feel really beautiful,” she shared “And I do feel really beautiful.”
