“What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” is the infamous tagline of Nevada’s largest city, long considered one of America’s favorite playgrounds for the adult crowd. A new show hit The Strip on Sunday, April 3, as Las Vegas played first-time host to music’s biggest night, the 64th Annual Grammy Awards.
While the city has long hosted the Latin Grammys, musicians from every genre descended upon Sin City this weekend to celebrate the year’s biggest hits—and equally diverse was the Grammys red carpet, which has historically run the gamut of style statements.
As always, we kept our eyes on all the Blackety-Black best looks (as well as a few adjacent faves) on this year’s step-and-repeat, and the stars definitely brought it—from old Hollywood glamour to hip-hop couture, ready-to-rock edge to jazzy elegance, bluesy bohemian or pop-friendly looks…and of course, more than a few “What in the world are they wearing?” moments.
Just like music, fashion is personal, so we’ll let you decide for yourself what hit and missed on the red carpet. But overall, the message was clear: just like music, there is no one right way to do the Grammys, making it unlike any other awards show of the year.
TheGrio will be updating our fashion coverage with highlights from the stage all night long, but for now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!.
