Music's brightest stars attended the Grammys on Sunday in revealing metallic dresses, Barbiecore pink and stark classic white. Above all, they showed a lot of skin.
While the Oscars are known for embracing a certain kind of Hollywood glamour, the Grammys are right in front of you: Some of the most iconic fashion looks have emerged at the music industry's historic gala, like Jennifer's plunging green Versace dress Lopez in 2000.
Here's a look at what celebrities wore at the Grammys in Los Angeles:
Metallic
If you want to shine at the Grammys, metallic ones are a strong bet.
Pop princess Miley Cyrus, who won best pop solo performance for her hit “Flowers,” made a grand entrance on the red carpet in a barely-there gold metal nude dress by John Galliano for Maison Margiela and a large and straight hair.
But when she accepted the award from Mariah Carey, she had donned a sparkly black halter-neck jumpsuit.
Dua Lipa, nominated for her smash hit “Dance the Night” from the summer hit movie “Barbie,” wore a low-cut, floor-length silver Courreges dress with long, cut-out sleeves, and her red hair was wavy and loose.
On the carpet, she said she felt like a “warrior.”
Jon Batiste, the only contender for Album of the Year, wore a shiny silver suit with a pleated plaid skirt over his pants.
And Victoria Monet, who has seven nominations, dazzled in a copper Versace dress with a corset and train, a trend seen on several red carpets this season.

Much has been written about who was and wasn't nominated for an Oscar for “Barbie,” but the film also racked up 11 Grammy nominations and has definitely influenced showbiz red carpets for months.
Billie Eilish, who won Sunday for best song written for visual media for her moving “What Was I Made For?” From the film, she sported a pink and black Barbie bomber jacket made by Chrome Hearts over a white shirt, black tie, and black pants.
Icelandic singer Laufey, winner of best traditional pop vocal album, looked sweet in a sleeveless pink dress with black polka dots and strategic cutouts.
And the Blind Boys of Alabama, winners of the Grammy for best roots gospel album, wore matching three-piece pink Barbie outfits, proving that the world of Barbie is for men too.

Olivia Rodrigo, nominated multiple times thanks to her second album “GUTS”, shined in a tight white vintage Versace dress adorned with silver sequins and small red hearts.
The three members of boygenius, Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus, took the stage during the pre-ceremony to accept their three Grammy Awards dressed in white Thom Browne suits.
And the queen of the music world, Taylor Swift, wore a strapless white Schiaparelli dress, open to the hips to reveal plenty of leg.
Elegant black opera gloves, a watch choker, several silver necklaces and classic red lipstick completed the glamorous and elegant look.
Some observers saw a coded message in Swift's gaze: the “Reputation” album cover was black and white. Could she be preparing to release the “Taylor Version” of the album?
