The number of winners at the Grammy ceremony is limited, but everyone wants to stand out. So stars have found a new way to attract attention — competing with outfits. Some virtuously play up their musical style with their attire, others go for shock value, and some simply decide: the less fabric, the better. Let«s see whose bet paid off in 2026 and whose look turned out to be a failure.

Heidi Klum«s body-paint outfit was a standout but proved difficult to move in.

Heidi Klum is known for her love of unusual outfits: she might dress as Medusa the Gorgon, an alien, or a worm. But she saves all these crazy looks for Halloween, and for the Grammys, the model cosplayed Bianca Censori«s outfit. However, Heidi didn»t want to appear without clothes, like Kanye West«s wife, and instead created a body-paint imitation of nudity.

The outfit, which followed every curve, didn«t go unnoticed, but the model overlooked one detail: it wasn»t flexible at all, and it was hard not just to sit, but even to walk in it.

Lady Gaga«s feathered high-collar outfit was one of her bold fashion statements.

Unlike the model, singer Chappell Roan made sure nothing restricted her movements. On the red carpet, she appeared in a red sheer dress and a cape matching her hair color. But as soon as paparazzi pointed their cameras at her, she shed the light cloak, fully exposing her chest, on which the dress had been holding all along.

Left almost without clothes, the singer complained to the press that she«s not used to such appearances and feels awkward due to the excessive attention.

Singer Kehlani also chose a «naked» dress. The queen of American R&B came to the ceremony in a sheer black dress adorned with beads, with a huge chest cutout. The dress turned out to be lucky; the singer had been nominated seven times before but only won in 2026, and in two categories at once.

Miley Cyrus opted for a simple black and white look, departing from her usual style.

79-year-old Cher also couldn«t resist showing off her figure. The singer»s appearance was a surprise from the organizers. She took the stage in a black lace dress and outshone all the stars. Cher left the ceremony with a hundred compliments and the «Career Achievement» award.

Another winner, and in three categories at once, is Lady Gaga. In recent years, the singer«s mood color has been black. In 2025, she appeared in a gothic floor-length dress, and this year in a form-fitting feathered outfit with a high collar. Ready for the shooting of Linda»s «Crow» music video right now.

Along with Lady Gaga, DJ Gesaffelstein also received the award for the song «Abracadabra,» but in the «Best Remix» category. If anyone, he certainly doesn«t have to worry about smiling or blinking awkwardly in photos. The artist completely covered his face with a glossy black mask.

Billie Eilish didn«t hide her signature displeased face and only smiled upon receiving the Grammy for »Record of the Year.« The singer stays true to herself and chooses a teenage style. On the carpet, she appeared in a schoolgirl outfit: a black skirt and jacket, a white shirt, and matching knee-high socks.

Another diligent student is Miley Cyrus. Black bottom — classic pants and pumps — and white top — a shirt. Lately, the singer has been moving away from provocative «naked» dresses towards something calmer and more classic.

Singer Tahlia Storm added color to the series of black outfits. While everyone avoids prints, the singer took a risk and wore a kimono dress with huge sleeves and pop-art drawings. The images of women on them accurately conveyed the reaction to such experiments.

Guns N« Roses guitarist Slash brought a bit of rock and roll. The 60-year-old musician appeared in a fully leather shirt and pants. As always, his head was adorned with a top hat, which he has practically never parted with since 1985, and aviator sunglasses. Slash appeared with his girlfriend Meagan Hodges, who chose an all-black suit adorned with rhinestones.

At the Grammys, they remember not only cult albums and Oscar-winning films but also cartoons. In 2026, the soundtrack to «KeiPop Demon Hunters» (12+), created by Audrey Nuna, was nominated. The singer herself appeared on the carpet in a look as if she stepped out of some cartoon. Her outfit seemed assembled from different pieces: here are elements of a classic suit, a jacket from a man«s shoulder, a doll-like dress, and a skirt in Victorian style.

Paris Hilton also decided to remind everyone of herself and her stunning figure, which hasn«t changed at all over the years.

The socialite appeared in an outfit reminiscent of her looks at the start of her career, only now the dress isn«t sheer but woven with special inserts in the shape of lingerie. To add charm to the look, Hilton complemented it with velvet black gloves and did a Hollywood hairstyle.
