Grammys Red Carpet 2023: Best Arrival Photos, Dresses, Outfits

Eye-popping colors, sparkly embellishments, and dramatic silhouettes were all the rage.

If you ask us, the red carpet of any award show is just as exciting as watching who gets to take home the coveted trophies. The glitz, the glam — it’s why we tune in early, before the ceremonies begin, to watch the stars strut their stuff. The Grammys in particular are known for being one of the less stuffy award shows (remember in 2017 when Rihanna was caught casually sipping from a flask during the ceremony?), and the looks often reflect the fun vibe.

This year’s Grammys red carpet was no exception, and after the past two years of pandemic-related changes, music’s biggest night finally returned to Los Angeles’s Crypto.com Arena (formerly the Staples Center). Presenters, nominees, and guests showed out to see who would take home the Recording Academy’s most prestigious awards. On track to make history was Beyoncé, who was nominated for a leading nine awards and the chance to become the most decorated Grammy winner in history. Early on into the night, Viola Davis made history by winning a Grammy and therefore securing an EGOT — a win all the more important considering the Grammys’ history of failing to recognize Black art.

And there were even more wins on the red carpet. There were lots of eye-popping colors, sparkly embellishments, and dramatic silhouettes. Here were some of our favorite looks of the night.
