Kacey Musgraves' Grammys Gown Just Stole The Show
While the Oscars and Golden Globes often deliver all manner of haute couture gowns and ensembles, the Grammys are known for being a more laid-back affair. The musical celebration has become a spectacle of sorts for style, allowing a space for industry powerhouses to express themselves in unique sartorial ways. That's not to say glitzy gowns and dazzling outfits aren't present, they're just delivered in a more fun and off-the-cuff manner — and this year was no different. The 2019 Grammy Awards dresses offered some truly glamorous and carefree looks.
The beauty of the Grammys red carpet is that its a melting pot of musical genres and backgrounds, so each artist brings their own unique fashion flair. Country music sensations, R&B stars, and pop icons come in outfits that translate both on a concert stage and a fancy red carpet. For this reason, Grammy outfits are some of the most memorable, like Mary J. Blige's head-to-toe leopard suit from '96, Britney Spears' white Marilyn Monroe-inspired gown from 2000, and, of course, Jennifer Lopez's now-iconic, plunging green Versace dress (also from 2000).
With the Grammys stage and music industry being more diverse than ever, its no wonder the red carpet reflected it. Ahead, the top fashion looks from the red carpet that very well could go down in history — or, at the very least, they'll give you something to discuss all week long.
