The 2026 Grammy Awards are back for another year, and music’s biggest night delivered on both sound and style. Unlike any other awards show, the Grammys remain a space where individuality reigns supreme. This year’s red carpet reflected that spirit, with artists using fashion as an extension of their creative identity. The biggest trends of the night? Voluminous skirts (is the bustle back en vogue?), monochrome colour palettes, feathers galore, and statement sheer ensembles.
Read on for the FQ team’s favourite looks from the 2026 Grammy Awards red carpet:
Sabrina Carpenter in Valentino
“I was drawn to Sabrina Carpenter’s Valentino gown by Alessandro Michele, whose designs lean romantic and nostalgic. It had a soft, 70s bridal feel through its flowing silhouette and tiered ruffles, with sheer layers and pearl-and-crystal detailing adding to the quiet magnetism and feminine energy of the look.” – Georgia Bramley, creative director
Olivia Dean in Chanel
“Olivia Dean never puts a stylish foot wrong when it comes to dressing. I loved this two toned Chanel piece, especially with the glimpse (of what one can only assume is) the classic Chanel pump peeking out from her poufy dress.” – Sarah Murray, editor in chief
Bad Bunny in Schiaparelli
“I must admit, this year’s Grammys red carpet felt a little underwhelming. In fact, I found myself more inspired by The Devil Wears Prada 2 trailer than most looks I spotted on the carpet — but I digress. Aside from Olivia Dean’s Chanel look, my highlight of the night was Bad Bunny in custom Schiaparelli by Daniel Roseberry. What I loved most about this hourglass-shaped tuxedo was that it got better the more you looked at it. My favourite fine details? The lace design at the rear of the jacket and the measuring-tape embroidery at the lapel. Bravo!” – Natalia Didovich, digital producer
Addison Rae in Maison Alaïa
“I love a Maison Alaïa look, and this dress on Addison is no exception: understated and timeless, with an edgy ballerina twist.” – Sophie de Renzy, multimedia content coordinator
Paris Hilton in Nicolas Jebran
“I grew up watching The Simple Life, and it seems that Paris Hilton has lived a dozen different lives. She’s also always known how to dress in a way that flatters and highlights her figure – usually with some sparkle involved. I love how she’s added a touch of old Hollywood glamour, with diamonds layered over velvet opera gloves and her chic new lob. The embellished choker feels perfectly on trend too, especially with its resurgence from 2016 through 2026. Girl is sliving!” – Tiffany Low, commercial director
Hailey Bieber in Maison Alaïa
“Simple, sexy, and sophisticated — I love it because Hailey Bieber’s sleek silk column dress with a sculpted neckline feels effortlessly glamorous, perfectly balancing timeless Old Hollywood charm with modern minimalism.” – Vanessa Bathfield, commercial editor
Tate McRae in Balenciaga
“Tate McRae looking striking in a monochrome black Balenciaga ensemble. The strapless bodice was sculpted to perfection, with a short front, long back train that trailed elegantly. A textured skirt added depth, with leather opera gloves (because when else can you wear arm length gloves but the Grammys?) and a diamond necklace and earrings finishing the impeccable look.” – Bridget Yee, brand and strategy director
