Halter Necklines Got A Sultry Revamp At The 2025 Grammys

During an award season soirée, it doesn’t take long for a style trend to reveal itself. Typically, about halfway through the red carpet circuit, fashion enthusiasts notice stylish similarities between their favorite A-listers. For instance, at the 2025 Grammy Awards on Feb. 2, halter-shaped necklines dominated the red carpet. Inside the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, stars like Sabrina Carpenter and Miley Cyrus (to name a few) revamped the sleek silhouette next to striking gowns.

The halter-neck craze started strong with Carpenter’s grand entrance. The Grammy winner looked glamorous in a baby blue gown custom-made by JW Anderson. Her knotted neckline was decorated with a diamond chain that stretched to the bottom of her plunging back. The retro-inspired embellishment was courtesy of Chopard. Shortly after the Short n’ Sweet star’s arrival, Cyrus followed suit in a leather maxi dress from Saint Laurent. Contrary to Carpenter, the “Flowers” singer’s bodice was in a criss-cross shape, alongside a stomach cutout. Then, Olivia Rodrigo even got in on the halter action.

But wait — there’s more. The trend even popped up on the Grammys stage. Keep scrolling for the best halter-neck moments from the 2025 Grammys. And, don’t be shocked if the trend continues at future award shows.
