Pop open the champagne, grab the popcorn, and gather around, fashionistas. It’s time to round up the worst-dressed celebs at the 2024 Grammys.
Few Grammys’ worst-dressed celebs lists are complete without a mention of Miley Cyrus. “Girl, the shade, the shade of it all.” Over the years, she’s delivered and then some on the haute couture horror stakes. Cyrus went and did it again, coming in like a wrecking ball at the 2024 Grammys. Cyrus channeled sexy Halloween Cleopatra in a glittery chain link mesh thing, complete with a dangling groin accessory. She would have fit right in on the cover of Sports Illustrated somewhere around 51 B.C. A red carpet, though? Not so much. Incredibly, John Galliano custom-made the monstrosity in the name of Maison Margiela Artisanal. Still, two thumbs up for Cyrus’ blowout, which gave her godmother Dolly Parton a run for her money.
Kelly Osbourne and Sid Wilson managed to get a babysitter for the night, so they took the opportunity to make their red carpet debut together. Or did they? It’s all bets off as Wilson was masquerading as the masked singer, clad in a black retro gas mask with an open fish mouth. It was an… interesting look, and one that Wilson is used to rocking, being in Slipknot and all. Osbourne also missed the mark in her own way. From the knees up, she looked old-school glam and gorgeous goth. However, it was all bets off below the knees as her frock turned into a net fishtail that, quite frankly, had no place at all on the Christian Siriano-designed dress. “I don’t, I don’t give a sh-t.”
Bravo to Jacob Collier! So often, men blend into the background on the red carpet, overshadowed by all the glitzy gowns and garish getups surrounding them. However, Collier never risks being a wallflower, so he’s at least got that going for him. The British star is renowned for his colorful carpet ensembles, and he didn’t disappoint at the 2024 Grammys. It appeared that Collier took a leaf out of his pop pal Harry Styles’ red carpet book. Collier’s neon pink roll neck and psychedelic patchwork flared suit gave Styles’ 2023 Grammys atrocity a run for its money.
Billie Eilish dialed in her look from the ballpark — a ballpark that was inexplicably hosting a screening of “Barbie.” Bucking the traditional red carpet trends, the songwriter arrived at the Grammys decked out in a Chrome Hearts black and pink-sleeved Barbie-themed varsity jacket. She paired the bomber with a Willy Chavarria ensemble. The Fresno fashion whizz also whipped up some huge black pants for Eilish. Sadly, they seemed designed for someone well over 6 feet tall. But Billie made do with the baggy look, finishing things off with a white shirt with a thin black tie.
Boygenius’ Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and Julien Baker won big at the Grammys, taking home a total of three trophies. Sadly, they didn’t win us over on the red carpet. The three arrived clad in their trademark fitted suits and black ties. However, their matching Thom Browne ensembles were left lacking in the tailoring department. The white suits, which appeared to be comprised of stiff, scratchy viscose, were ill-fitted and unflattering. They accessorized the look with pink chrysanthemums and red buttons pinned to the lapel, but it wasn’t enough to distract from the more fundamental flaws.
Lenny Kravitz usually can do no wrong. He’s known for rocking super tight and super sexy get-ups. However, Kravitz appeared to out-Kravitz himself by going full-on BDE on the 2024 Grammys red carpet. Kravitz’s Rick Owens’ see-through black mesh top with button-on leather arms and skin-tight black leather pants left little to the imagination. Still, if Kravitz needed to earn a buck or two, he could always team up with Chippendales. Kravitz would fit right in — although, he’d need to ditch the Chrome Hearts jewelry and Dior shades.
Kat Graham was all mother superior on the top, Marilyn Monroe on the bottom. Graham’s cream-colored satin fitted full-length dress and long satin gloves aimed for old-school throwback glam, although the brown contrast cut-out kind of ruined the look. In case it hadn’t been ruined enough, though, Graham added a stiff white structured cape from Stéphane Rolland’s Fall/Winter 2023 collection, which could have easily been torn from the costuming department of “The Sound of Music”. She added a pair of Sterling Forever Angelina Statement Stud Earrings and tied an old bit of lace around her neck to finish off.
Maria Mendes took a leaf from the Miley Cyrus style book and plumped for a glimmering Romanesque ensemble. The jazz singer looked fit to take to the gladiator pit for a chariot race. “Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained?” Mendes didn’t go full-on chain mail like Cyrus. Still, she did rock an intricately patterned solid gold face shield resembling a super posh helmet visor. Mendes paired the look with humongous gold matching earrings that hung like side panels from her ears. Mendes decided to double down on the gold with a gilded sculptured dress and glittery shell-shaped clutch.
Poor Elle Goulding didn’t have time to finish getting ready for the 2024 Grammys red carpet. The British singer-songwriter apparently had to run out the door with just her undies on. Luckily for Goulding, the lingerie-esque look consisted of a gorgeous black lace Zuhair Murad Couture bustier bodysuit and lace top hold-up stockings. Despite being dressed for the bedroom, it appears Goulding did manage to grab an old net curtain to wrap around herself on the way out the door. Sadly, there seemed to be a bunch of old crow feathers attached to it, which arguably made things worse. At least she had time for hair and makeup; those parts of her look were spot on.
