Grammys 2022: the best and worst dressed celebrities – from BTS’ Louis Vuitton suits and Olivia Rodrigo’s body-hugging Vivienne Westwood dress, to Billie Eilish’s offbeat Rick Owens ensemble and Tayla Parx’s questionable dinosaur get-up …
The 64th annual Grammy Awards travelled to the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday night, rather than the usual gala in Los Angeles. Hosted by Trevor Noah, the long-awaited extravaganza saw thrilling performances from Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and H.E.R., among others.
From Billy Porter’s androgynous Valentino look to Dua Lipa’s iconic Versace bondage dress, here’s our take on the best and worst dressed celebrity looks on the 64th Grammys Awards’ red carpet.

The Grammys’ best dressed
Red carpet staple Lil Nas X rarely fails to turn heads with his norm-challenging outfits. Nominated for five Grammys this year, the singer cut an incredible silhouette in a white pearl-studded, shoulder padded Balmain suit, a design similar to the US$20,000 dress Kim Kardashian wore in Paris in 2014.
US rapper Saweetie opted for Valentino’s striking fuchsia look too, showing up in a sensational long skirt, bra top and long gloves. She paired the outfit with Valentino’s Garavani Tango shoes to finish the look.
Then, in case the Valentino number didn’t make a big enough impression, the Bestie singer changed into a gorgeous black taffeta bubble Oscar de la Renta gown.
How rich is Lady Gaga really? Inside her gigantic net worth
Dua Lipa decided to don a slinky throwback dress from Versace’s Miss S&M autumn/winter 1992 collection, first made famous by Cindy Crawford. The mesh bustier adorned with straps and golden buckles, and with a fluid skirt was a hit – especially when paired with her new blonde bombshell look.
Giveon, nominated for Record of the Year for Peaches, literally sparkled in a custom made Chanel suit and diamond jewellery, once again showing that men can also rock the brand’s classic tweed designs.
Meanwhile Billie Eilish’s sharp-dressed brother Finneas O’Connell looked dapper in a purple satin three-piece suit over a black poplin shirt that had a contrasting white collar. Then he went a step further by adding a giant, statement Gucci flower brooch.
Doja Cat showed off her flawless figure in a custom corset and crystal, hand-embroidered dress from Atelier Versace, which took hundreds of hours to create. Her accessories – Samer Halimeh and Jacob & Co. jewellery, a blown glass bag and bedazzled JBL speaker (!) – added the tongue-in-cheek finishing touches we’ve come to expect from the star.

Olivia Rodrigo, winner of the Best New Artist award, made her Grammys debut in a Vivienne Westwood trompe l’oeil gown.
Elsewhere, Lady Gaga opted for classic Hollywood glamour in an elegant monochrome gown from Armani Privé.
Justin Bieber and model wife Hailey Bieber had a cute PDA moment on the red carpet, which showed off their contrasting looks. Bieber chose an oversized suit from Balenciaga, pink beanie hat and black platform Balenciaga x Crocs, while Hailey stepped out in an elegant, figure-skimming dress from Saint Laurent.
Who were the best and worst dressed stars of the Oscars 2022?
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are often the epitome of #couplegoals on the red carpet, and the pair made yet another head-turning appearance in Vegas. Teigen wore a voluminous pink gown from Nicole + Felicia Couture, while Legend wore a more subdued blue suit for his performance, which was a tribute to Ukraine.
The Grammys’ worst dressed
Reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian and her partner Travis Barker took to the red carpet in underwhelming outfits, with Barker’s pink (what else?) Givenchy coat commanding more of the attention than his wife’s Et Ochs jumpsuit – but not in a good way.
There’s nothing wrong with making a quirky or bold statement, but singer-songwriter Tayla Parx’s Super Mario-esque dinosaur ensemble truly looked more like she was on her way to a costume party than the Grammys.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Roberto Cavalli animal print dress saw her cut a powerful figure on the red carpet at the Grammys – and perhaps was more in keeping with the event – but it was still a let down after the beauty of her Oscars ensemble.
Bad Guy singer Billie Eilish opted for an ultra dark ensemble from Rick Owens that completely swamped her. Offbeat and on brand, to be sure, but not one of her most flattering looks.
Dillon Francis’ deliberately “nothing” Grammys outfit must have taken a full two minutes to assemble – either that or he got lost on his way back from the shops.
We’re beyond excited about Yola’s role as Sister Rosetta Tharpe in Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming Elvis biopic, but not so much about the ruffled gown and the claws here.
The 10 most shocking Oscars moments ever, from Will Smith to Angelina Jolie
OK, we love Avril Lavigne, but does anyone else feel like this look is slightly outdated?
Alisha Gaddis showed up in an eye-catching headpiece, but it’s off balance and just seems like something of a cliché when combined with the gown. For better halo interpretations, look to Celine Dion’s 2019 Met Gala look.
Neither the colour palette nor the materials that clashed on Kari Jobe’s top and skirt make a good match.
We much preferred the purple number that Carrie Underwood wore when she performed on stage at the event, to this bright gown she wore on her way in that just screams Miss Universe.
- Leave it to BTS to arrive in cashmere Louis Vuitton, or Lil Nas X to wear the most striking outfit of the night – but we can’t say we saw Tayla Parx’s look coming
- Justin Bieber wore a pair of insane Balenciaga x Crocs, Doja Cat and Dua Lipa opted for Versace, and everyone seemed to don hot pink at some point
