The Grammys’ Best Red Carpet Looks Were So, So Naked

It was the biggest trend of the night.

Music’s biggest artists have doubled as some of the chicest stars in history. And if the red carpet at the 68th annual Grammy Awards is anything to go by, they’ll continue to do so throughout 2026 as well.

On Sunday, Feb. 1, industry faves hit up Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena in their best ‘fits. The biggest trend of the night? “Naked dressing.” Kicking the night off were stars such as Zara Larsson and Coco Jones, who wore a bra as a top and a see-through bustier ‘fit, respectively. Shortly after, Sabrina Carpenter, who racked up six nominations, including Album of the Year (Man’s Best Friend), showed up in one of her glitziest, frilliest sheer looks ever, with beading, crystals, and tiered ruffles.

The Best New Artist nominees were just as statement-making, proving they’re a force not just in music, but in fashion as well. Addison Rae bared her navel in custom Alaïa, while Katseye’s six members coordinated daring ensembles custom-made by Ludovic de Saint Sernin.

The nakedest look of the night came courtesy of Chappell Roan, who wore a dress (if you can call it that) that hung from her nipple piercings.

With the red carpet officially closed, here are the best-dressed “naked” attendees from the 2026 Grammys.

The bra-as-top trend has never looked as glamorous as Zara Larsson’s chartreuse custom Germanier number, which included an asymmetrical, one-shoulder bra and a low-rise skirt, both awash in sequins and floral beading.

Coco Jones zhuzhed up her sheer bustier dress with a sculptural hip, asymmetrical draping, and a one-shoulder neckline.

Addison Rae made the classic little white dress exciting and modern with an exaggerated hip and navel-baring plunge, made custom by Alaïa.

Also in Alaïa, Hailey Bieber turned music’s biggest fête into date night when she stepped onto the red carpet with her husband, Justin Bieber. Minimalist to the core, she wore a strapless black dress with sheer skirt panels, accessorized with a metallic silver choker with a massive diamond and an “ICE OUT” pin.

Teyana Taylor left no crumbs in a shimmery, ab-baring Tom Ford by Haider Ackermann custom masterpiece. The cherry on top? Her $33,000 Tiffany & Co. lariat necklace.

If there were an award for nakedest red carpet look, Chappell Roan would win, hands down. The “Pink Pony Club” songstress originally walked the carpet in a diaphanous brick-red cape, which she later removed to reveal an equally sheer custom Mugler dress/skirt hanging from her nipple piercings.

What does an artist who bagged six nominations wear to the Grammys? Per Carpenter, a bedazzled “naked dress,” of course. Her custom Valentino stunner featured a floral lace torso, diaphanous sleeves, and a swishy tiered skirt.

Heidi Klum

One of the most talked-about looks of the night was Heidi Klum’s, which was more of a hard body plate than a dress. The skin-matching midi molded to her form’s curves and crevices, which she accessorized with matching pumps.

Michelle Williams is a Grammy pro, who’s been slaying the carpet since the early 2000s as one-third of Destiny’s Child. She’s only grown chicer since. Case in point: her diaphanous gown with luxe gilded leaf details.

Reality TV’s buzziest dating show, Love Island USA, was well represented by JaNa Craig, who wore a sheer black dress replete with cutouts.

All six members of Katseye — Yoonchae, Megan, Lara, Manon, Sophia, and Daniela — wore custom Ludovic de Saint Sernin, albeit in different versions of “naked dressing,” including sheer lace, plunging necklines, cutouts, slits, and bras-as-tops. Needless to say, they all slayed.

Karol G clearly got the risqué style memo. She paired her “naked dress” — a sheer lace number with a decadent fringe from Paolo Sebastian’s FW25 RTW collection — with PVC mules, aka the “naked shoe.”
