Outlandish and Bizarre Outfits of the 2026 Grammy Awards

With the number of Grammy winners limited, artists found an alternative way to attract public attention—through their outfits. They used everything: from virtuoso reflections of musical style in attire to blatant shock value and minimal fabric. We«ve gathered the looks that became the main topics of discussion after the 2026 ceremony.

Heidi Klum, a perennial fan of extraordinary outfits, this time drew inspiration from the image of Bianca Censori. Instead of full nudity, the model chose a costume that meticulously imitated a nude body. The look, which replicated every curve of her figure, attracted attention, but it was so uncomfortable that it was difficult to even move in.

Chappell Roan chose a different tactic. She appeared on the red carpet in a transparent red dress and a cloak, but then shed the cloak, revealing to the public and cameras that the dress was held up solely by her chest. The singer admitted: «People just film you, and you don»t know how to act properly. It«s the hardest part of the whole evening.»

A transparent black dress adorned with beads became a lucky charm for Kehlani. Finally winning in two categories after seven previous nominations, the R&B queen proved that such a choice can bring luck.

The 79-year-old Cher also showcased her figure in a black lace dress, outshining many younger colleagues. Her appearance was a surprise from the organizers, and the legend left with a «Lifetime Achievement Award» statue and a sea of compliments.

Lady Gaga, who took home three awards, continued her black gothic aesthetic. This year, she chose a form-fitting feather dress with a high collar, and for her performance of the song «Abracadabra», she transformed into a floor lamp with a huge woven hat.

• DJ Gesaffelstein, who won a Grammy for Best Remix, hid his face under a glossy black mask, avoiding issues with bad shots.
• Billie Eilish remained true to her teenage style, appearing in a schoolgirl outfit, and only allowed herself a smile after winning in the «Record of the Year» category.
• Miley Cyrus also chose a classic business look, continuing her departure from her previous provocative images.

A bright spot among the series of black outfits was Thalia Storm«s kimono with pop-art prints. And the rock-n-roll spirit of the ceremony was upheld by Slash from Guns N» Roses in his signature leather attire, top hat, and aviator glasses.

An eccentric look was presented by Audrey Nuna, creating the impression that she stepped off a cartoon screen. Her outfit was a whimsical blend of classic, doll-like, and Victorian elements.

Paris Hilton reminded everyone of her famous figure by choosing a woven dress with decorative inserts that mimic underwear, and complemented the look with velvet gloves and a Hollywood hairstyle.
