The 12 Best Dressed From Tonight's Grammy Awards

The evening's standout looks

by Irina Grechko

Music's most fashionable ladies stepped it up on the 61st Annual Grammy Awards red carpet tonight. The result? Jaw-dropping sparkling gowns (Lady Gaga, Camila Cabello), sculptural black-and-white looks (Janelle Monáe, Chloe and Halle), and the continuation of the loofah-like fashion trend (Kacey Musgraves, Bebe Rexha). We also saw some celebs rocking pants (Ashlee Simpson, H.E.R.), and other sartorial risks that certainly paid off (Cardi B!).

Ahead, check out the standout looks from music's biggest night of the year.

Cardi B sure knows how to make a fashion entrance. This Marilyn Monroe-esque vintage Mugler gown could double as an art piece.

It seems like former NYLON cover stars Chloe and Halle got the memo from Monáe, also showing up in matching black-and-white architectural dresses.

Lady Gaga matched her elegant silver Celine by Hedi Slimane dress and 100 carats of Tiffany & Co. diamonds to her platinum locks, and the world bowed down.

We don't know what we love more, Tierra Whack's trippy dress or the fluffy rainbow coat.
