Viola Davis in Naeem Khan
I LOVE THIS, which should be a surprise to precisely nobody.
Taylor Swift in Roberto Cavalli
This is also really, really good. E! couldn't stop talking about how Taylor dresses for her "eras," and this is the Midnight era, and... they claimed that means "disco ball," but that wouldn't be so different? Maybe Taylor was going for midnight blue.
Her makeup and earrings are just fabulous here.
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly
He was so anxious on the red carpet, and talked a lot to Laverne Cox about it (at one point he mentioned that he had a signal for Megan if he needed her to come calm him down). Laverne is not great at this job, but she was the right warm presence for him in that moment, and he seemed grateful when she could step in and help articulate some of what he was struggling to say. They both look nice and on-brand.
Coco Jones in Zuhair Murad
Stunning!
Tom Daley
This should have been in our patterns post, but my eyes apparently didn't process anything but the metallic sheen until right this second. He and Harry Styles should open a stylish car repair shop.
Miranda Lambert in Le Thanh Hoa
Well, look, we have to do SOMETHING with the leftover Christmas tinsel.
Heidi Klum in The Blonds
She looks like a rug Trump would own. I'M SORRY HEIDI. I AM SO SORRY.
Nicole Hocking and Luke Combs
He's snazzy -- he performed for the first time at the Grammys, which is a thrill -- and Nicole's dress is honestly one of my favorites of the night. Beautiful.
Mary J. Blige in The Blonds
Mary J. does not NAB, but it's because she hung them from her ears.
Paris Hilton
Paris looks fine. She has a new baby at home, so I'm impressed she's awake. I also can't totally figure out why she's here at all, but I guess "mom and dad's first night out" being at the Grammys is a neat flex.
McKenzi Brooke
I assumed she was an up-and-coming young country singer who hadn't been seized by a stylist yet, but apparently she's a TikToker? STILL hasn't been seized by a stylist, but there's time.
Ricky Dillard
I am obviously here for ALL of this. (He was up for Best Gospel Album.)
Myles Frost
Myles was nominated for his performance in MJ: The Musical (on the cast album), and he spent a LOT of time this night and earlier in the weekend doing the Michael Jackson crotch-grab pose. I know that's sort of iconic, but also... maybe not in the BEST way. His jacket is fab, though.
Lourdes Leon
Her mom Madonna didn't walk the carpet, but Lola did, looking very nice -- and possibly doing a bang-up job making the Internet forget about that whole thing where she wasn't allowed into the Marc Jacobs show (because apparently she was late). Red sparkles are the best bounceback.
Jasmine Sanders
We often note that Jasmine looks like Rita Ora, but a few outlets mistook her for Rita and tagged her on Twitter. OOPS. But, I can't be smug, as I thought this was sequins and it's not. It's just shiny. WELL, metallic things are shiny, and that's metallic blue, so let's COUNT IT. She looks pretty. Rita probably isn't mad at this mistake.
Rita Wilson
Welcome to how I want to enter rooms from now on.
