Your support makes all the difference.The Grammys are, in fashion terms, quite unlike any other awards ceremony.
Known for its less formal, more avant-garde fashion risks, all rules are thrown out of the window at the Grammys – think back to Jennifer Lopez’s low-low-cut Versace gown, Madonna’s risqué matador get-up or Lady Gaga’s flamboyant arrival in an egg.
It really is the anything-goes parade of outlandish fashion, and this year was no different.
While some sought out a spot on the best-dressed list, others pulled out all the stops.
Cee Loo Green arrived in all-gold ensemble that left him looking part Tin Man, part Ferrero Rocher, inspiring a succession of social media comparisons to C-3PO and the Sons of the Harpy in Game of Thrones. It was, in true Grammys' style, frankly bizarre.
Similarly, America singer Joy Villa caused quite a stir by mixing fashion and politics. Arriving in a stark white full-length gown, she whipped it off to reveal a blue dress emblazoned with the campaign slogan of President Donald Trump - Make America Great Again.
That being said, the fashion barometer was set at an all-time high by a more tasteful parade of attendees.
Adele sported a custom Givenchy Haute Couture silk satin and lace gown in military green that crossed at the chest and was swathed with Swarovski crystals.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez scored a knockout in a lavender Ralph & Russo gown tied with a huge tulle flower at the neck.
But despite their best efforts all eyes were, deservedly, on Beyonce.
The superstar, who is pregnant with twins, performed in a queenly gold crown and embellished gown to match but traded out this goddess-like look for a post-performance red-sequined, bodycon dress.
Like them or loathe them, this year’s Grammys had a few of its own unforgettable styles that’s for sure.
