Metallics ruled the red carpet at the 2024 Grammys, almost from the very first moment.

Dua Lipa — a double nominee for “Dance the Night” from Barbie The Album — turned up early on the 2024 Grammys red carpet because she was the broadcast’s opening act and immediately set the night’s style tone in a silver-fringed gown by creative director Nicolas di Felice for Courrèges, paired with impressive jewels by Tiffany & Co.

That focus on metals continued in elegant and artful ways. The Grammys have always been the odd duck, fashion-wise, of the awards season, and that’s meant only as a compliment. On music’s biggest night, attendees embrace the essence of artistry and creativity and that extends to their sartorial choices. While other awards shows largely exude elegance and occasionally a splash of grandeur, the Grammys are about exhibiting a musician’s mettle.

This warrior-like “Artisanal” dress is crafted of 14,000 gold safety pins and required 675 hours of handwork.

boygenius in Thom Browne

The women of boygenius tend to eschew matching looks on the red carpet, but that wasn’t the case at the 2024 Grammy Awards. The trio of Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus and Phoebe Bridgers opted for coordinating custom tuxedos by Thom Browne, crafted of white silk moiré with white satin armbands and white single satin tipping, paired with button-down point collar shirts in white silk double organza, black silk-faille ties and uniform shoes in black calf leather.

Lenny Kravitz in Rick Owens

Olivia Rodrigo in Versace

With six nominations, Olivia Rodrigo was in the mood for high-profile glamour. So when she spotted this Versace gown, worn by Linda Evangelista on a 1995 runway, she sent it to her stylist as the top of her wish list. And soon enough, the dress was pulled from the Versace archives for Rodrigo to wear at the Grammys. She paired the look with diamond and gemstone high jewelry by Bulgari, including a ring in white gold with coral elements, a cushion-cut aquamarine of nearly 16 carats and pavé-set diamonds.

Coco Jones in Celia Kritharioti

Coco Jones’ five nominations included best R&B album for What I Didn’t Tell You (Deluxe), so she likewise was in the mood for a star-making turn on Grammy night. She accomplished that nicely in this sheer gown with a deep plunging neckline by Greece-based designer Celia Kritharioti.

Carly Pearce in Mônot

Sleek, artfully constructed black gowns were another style trend at the 2024 Grammys, including this Mônot design worn by Carly Pearce, nominated for best country duo/group performance for “We Don’t Fight Anymore.” Pearce paired the dress with Yessayan jewels and Stuart Weitzman shoes.

Coi Leray in Saint Laurent

She paired the look with diamond drop earrings and a diamond watch by Jacob & Co.

Jon Batiste in Atelier Versace

Batiste’s accessories included Vacheron Constantin’s Overseas Tourbillon high-jewelry watch and Christian Louboutin’s Alleo black leather boots.

Ice Spice in Baby Phat

With four nominations, including best new artist, Ice Spice noted on the red carpet that for her first time at the Grammys, she wanted “to give Bronx Mommy,” and that translated to a look by Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons.
