2026 Grammys Red Carpet: Looks and Arrivals (Photos)

Awards show red carpets are typically rooted in who looked the most stylish — but that topic tends to take a backseat on the music industry’s biggest night. At the 2026 Grammys, viral moments will be found in who makes the most outrageous fashion statement.

Case in point: You may not remember what Lady Gaga wore to the 2019 Oscars when she was nominated for best actress and best song for A Star Is Born, but it’s a sure bet you recall her arrival at the 2011 Grammys inside an oversized, egg-shaped vessel. The same is true of Cardi B also that year, wearing a vintage Mugler look inspired by Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, or Sam Smith’s voluminous crimson opera coat and matching veiled top hat, both by Pierpaolo Piccioli for Valentino, seen at the 2023 Grammys.

Who promises to create truly wow style on the red carpet at the 2026 Grammys? With seven nominations for Mayhem, it may once again be Gaga — especially if her video for “Abracadabra” is any indication. Might Cardi B, nominated for best rap performance for “Outside,” top her Mugler moment?

Fold in Sabrina Carpenter’s love of haute lingerie, Doechii’s much-discussed Thom Browne dressing at the 2025 Grammys, and Teyana Taylor, nominated for best R&B album, who vaulted to the forefront of style conversations at January’s Golden Globe Awards, and the women of the music industry promise to ignite social media Sunday night.

Here’s a look at all the night’s arrivals, which The Hollywood Reporter will update throughout the night.
