The 13 Best-Dressed Stars at the 65th Annual Grammys
The Grammys red carpet is one of the most extreme of the season, and it's the only one no one has ever accused of being boring. Many of the most recognizable style moments in pop culture routinely happen at the ceremony, and there have been plenty of looks tonight that you already know will continue circulating the web years from now.
Cardi B wore a Gaurav Gupta dress that just debuted at the couture shows in Paris last week. Anitta went into the archives for a Versace dress from 2003. And Doja Cat demonstrated how to break the Internet in Versace, again.
Ahead, see the 13 best-dressed stars from last night's ceremony.

1) Doja Cat in Atelier Versace
At the Grammys last year, Doja Cat's look, a Versace gown accessorized with a glass Coperni bag, broke the Internet for quite literally looking like it could break. This year, she said she's debuting a "new era" that's everything but fragile. Her first look of the night was a black latex Versace gown with an asymmetrical strap twisted around her back like a loose braid, styled with matching gloves and tentacle-like hoop earrings. She looked gusty and menacing and spunky, much like the tarantula that's currently her Instagram profile picture.

2) Cardi B in Gaurav Gupta Haute Couture
Thank God Cardi B has been making couture a habit on the Grammys red carpet. It would be impossible to possibly top her 2019 Grammy look, Mugler's The Birth of Venus dress from the haute couture 1995 collection, but tonight's Gaurav Gupta gown, straight from the couture runway, delivered just as much drama with sleeves that enveloped her like a drop of water frozen mid-splash.

3) Lizzo in Dolce & Gabbana
Doja Cat looked spiderlike, and Lizzo looked florid. The singer's bright orange Dolce & Gabbana ensemble featured a hooded cape covered in flower accents, with her face blooming at the center like the bud of a bouquet. Underneath, she wore a corset top and matching skirt with sheer fingerless gloves and two large diamond rings like jeweled petals at her fingertips.

4) Steve Lacy in Saint Laurent
Earlier this week, Rolling Stone named Steve Lacy the most stylish musician of 2023, and he defended his title tonight in head-to-toe Saint Laurent. Lacy wore a double cross tuxedo pinned with a rhinestone and pearl shield brooch, knife-sharp boots, and oversized bug-like sunglasses while holding the brand's glossy Manhattan clutch against his chest like a priest holds a bible.

5) Lourdes Leon in Area
Earlier this week, Lourdes Leon went viral on TikTok for showing up one minute late and missing Marc Jacobs's runway show. She did, however, make it to the Grammys fashionably on time—and in a red ponte jersey crystal-embellished gown with crystal pyramid cups from Area's fall 2022 collection, at that.

6) Anitta in Vintage Versace and Tiffany Jewelry
Anitta posted her Grammys look with the simple caption, "After 50 years, Brazil is at the Grammys." And she dressed the part of someone making history with a cascading vintage Versace gown from the 2003 couture collection. When asked what was going through her mind as she walked the carpet, she said, "I feel like I look great," and she is absolutely correct.

7) Brandi Carlile in Versace
Brandi Carlile knows about a good suit, and tonight she opted for a black satin two-piece suit by Versace, worn with a hot pink button-down shirt and an ultra-skinny black tie. The suit hit at her knees with sleeves and side panels adorned with black sequin embroidery. For footwear, she went with oxfords, which frankly more celebrities should consider instead of the standard pump.

8) Shania Twain in Harris Reed
According to Shania Twain, there's a Shaniassance currently underway, and fashion seems to be a major part of the country singer's rebirth. Her Harris Reed look was from the brand's spring collection titled Mise En Scène, which the designer described on Instagram as "a collection centered around community, collaboration and all the incredible individuals that it takes to create safe spaces for everyone to feel their most authentic selves." And what says, "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" more than a top hat that's somehow bigger than your bell-bottoms?

9) Pharrell Williams and Helen Lasichanh
Pharrell Williams managed to channel both Margot and Richie Tenenbaum with his Grammys look: a quilted red leather set embellished with silver pearls worn under a faux-fur jacket. Helen Lasichanh matched in a black set sans coat.

10) Fran Drescher
Maybe what every awards ceremony is missing is Fran Drescher, who easily out-dressed more than a handful of nominees. But what else would you expect from Fran Fine, whose looks from The Nanny celebrities should seriously consider re-creating on the red carpet (especially all of her Bob Mackie).

11) Ella Mai
While black was a common theme on the Golden Globes red carpet, the Grammys are known for being a bit more extreme (and often sequined, and neon). Ella Mai brought an Old Hollywood look to the evening, with an off-the shoulder gown tied with an oversized bow.

12) Charlotte Lawrence in Saint Laurent
Singer Charlotte Lawrence offered another subdued look by Saint Laurent, with a low-slung skirt and strapless top that parted at her belly button. The look feels very Kate Moss in the '90s—which means it's perfect for the red carpet in 2023.

13) Kacey Musgraves in Valentino
Like Lizzo, Kacey Musgraves showed up in a detailed cape, adorned in pink feathers, that she later opened up to reveal the rest of her look: a Valentino catsuit and matching stilettos.
