Lady Gaga:
She needs to change her name to Lady Gag-a because my jaw is on the floor. She looks like a hauntingly beautiful raven in this Matières Fècales gown. I especially like how the dark black feathers contrast with her bleached eyebrows and hair. This look is so dramatic that only Lady Gaga could pull it off; if anyone else wore it, I think it would wear them.
Tyla:
In a stunning 2013 Dsquared2 dress, Tyla is luminous. The voluminous feather train and the gold crystal embellishments work together harmoniously. Her tousled updo pairs beautifully with this look, as it would be a shame to hide the dainty halter neckline.
Sabrina Carpenter:
Sabrina Carpenter is killing it at creating a distinct look for herself while leaving room to evolve into her next era of music. The floral beading on this custom Valentino dress blends beautifully with the ruffle skirt. Her sheer capelet is the cherry on top, giving the dress the balance it needs, as Sabrina could’ve easily been swallowed by the mermaid-style train since she’s so petite. Carpenter’s recent red carpet looks lead me to predict a disco-inspired album with ABBA influences is upcoming. She’s transitioning out of her more 50s and 60s Hollywood glamour looks into a more 70s, Boho vibe, like this one.
Addison Rae:
Never in my life have I ever thought, “high-low dresses are hideous, but what about low-high?” This custom Alaïa gown proves that I had been missing out. Addison Rae looks chic with crisp cascading white ruffles, while staying true to her playful self with the gems on her stomach and the twist of the dress being shorter in the back rather than in the front like the overdone high-low style usually goes. Her hair is boring, but I get the vintage Hollywood look they were going for.
Olivia Dean:
“It’s so easy to fall in love” with Olivia Dean’s custom Chanel gown. In my amateur opinion, no one is a better fit for Chanel than Olivia Dean. Her genuine and elegant image shines through in this look, and I couldn’t think of anything more her. The black bodice with the real ostrich feathers transitioning into a full satin skirt reminds me of black and white swans. While I think the dress didn’t need to be slightly shorter in the front, I appreciate the Chanel heels that match perfectly.
Billie Eilish:
Excluding her “Happier Than Ever” era, Billie Eilish has always had a uniquely androgynous style that is highlighted in this black and white oversized Hodakova look. The button-up over the shoulder helps tie in the white, nearly-knee-high socks. I seriously think if anyone else wore this, they would look like a painting of a Victorian school boy, but on Eilish, it is sleek, elegant, and boundary pushing.

Bad Bunny:
Every award season feels like the same old regular black and white suit on every single man, but Bad Bunny proves with his Grammys look that he is far from boring. Not only is this a beautiful tux, but it is Schiaparelli’s first-ever custom Haute Couture menswear look. The black tuxedo is a perfect blend of simple elegance and high fashion accents. The exaggerated silhouette of the tux adds that visually interesting element that a black tux needs, and the lace-up cinched detail in the back is what really sold me.
