Music’s most talented stars turned out in force this evening for the 2024 Grammy Awards, which kicked off on a very glamorous note courtesy of its red carpet arrivals – while also sticking to Hollywood tradition by featuring a host of sartorial disasters that brought more disaster than drama to the otherwise-prestigious event.
Within moments of the red carpet commencement, the stylish soiree had been blighted by a series of fashion fails, from garish patterns and color explosions to horrifyingly revealing gowns and silly silhouettes.
The ever-daring Doja Cat led the list of worst-dressed at the event, where she suffered a disastrous fashion fail by flashing her nipple to photographers in a complete see-through nude gown, which also exposed every inch of the many tattoos across her body.
And then there was Chrissy Teigen, who dropped jaws for all the wrong reasons when she stepped out on the red carpet wearing a micro mini dress that featured a black strapless bodice – and an enormous flower-style tutu that gave the ensemble an incredibly comical feel.
Doja Cat is known for her daring fashion choices – but even she took things to a new level at the Grammys when she flashed her nipple in a daring see-through gown that also exposed her many tattoos
The musician is known for pushing boundaries but her Grammys dress was over-the-top even for her
Chrissy Teigen also put on a rather comical red carpet display in her micro mini dress, which featured an enormous flower-style tutu at the bottom
The incredibly short gown made it look as though the model had forgotten part of her gown at home – and to make matters worse she also appeared to be wearing heels that were several sizes too big
Model Charlotte Lawrence led the worst dressed list at the 2024 Grammys, wearing a navy lace dress that turned completely transparent as soon as she stepped in front of the cameras, revealing far too much flesh
Actress Kat Graham looked baffling in her optical illusion style dress, which gave the impression of baring some serious skin – and featured a confusing cape style panel to protect her modesty in the front
Up-and-coming musician Ayra Starr also fell prey to the flesh flashing curse – with her very risque ensemble leaving far too little to the imagination, appearing more tacky than glamorous
While the sky-high hemline made it look as though the model had perhaps forgotten part of her outfit at home, to make matters worse, she also appeared to be wearing shoes that were several sizes too big for her.
Model Charlotte Lawrence wore what might have appeared to be an elegant ensemble at first glance – but as soon as she stepped in front of the cameras, her navy lace gown turned completely transparent, revealing far too much flesh as well as her black underwear.

Elsewhere, other attendees turned the red carpet into something of a clown show thanks to their garish color combinations.
Singing sensation Sheila E was among the first major names to make an appearance on the carpet – making a very bold statement in a garish checkered sequin suit that featured all the colors of the rainbow and was so bright it is a wonder the waiting photographers didn’t require sunglasses.
She paired the look with a pair of silver sequin sneakers that did little to distract from the clown-ish nature of the suit – however she was by no means the only celebrity to miss the mark with their rainbow creations, with several stars falling short of glamour and leaning more towards circus style.
Next up was Yolanda Adams, whose neon pink suit jacket was difficult enough to look at courtesy of the vibrant color, but the addition of rose embellishments made it all the more tricky to take in.

Larkin Poe singers Rebecca and Megan Lovell kept the circus theme very much alive with their striped rainbow suits
Sara Gazarek resembled a human pinata thanks to the enormous tulle train that surrounded her over-the-top gown
Lauren Daigle also turned up in an enormous tulle ensemble, which was held together with rainbow thread that appeared to have been DIY-ed just moments before she stepped onto the carpet
It was not just the ladies causing chaos with their colorful creations, Jacob Collier also proved an eyesore in his patchwork suit that blended every fabric pattern imaginable
Like Sheila, Yolanda chose to pair the vibrant garment with sequins, adding a disco-inspired pair of gold glittering pants, which might have hit the mark had they been worn with something slightly less painful for the eyes.
Eryn Allen Kane looked as though she had borrowed Carrie’s blood-soaked prom dress – after taking a pair of scissors to it – stepping out onto the red carpet in a strapless white gown that featured a puffball skirt and a long train, not dissimilar to something that you might expect to see on a wedding dress.
The silhouette did little to flatter her figure but it was the red stain across the top which, paired with some tacky beaded embellishments, brought the whole look down even further.
Several guests appeared to have confused the red carpet for a costume party, with Mexican singer Paty Cantú sporting an ensemble that could well have been mistaken for a pirate wench outfit that one might were for Halloween.
Then there was n musician Montaigne, who appeared to take inspiration both from the French renaissance and the wild west – wearing a bizarre ruffled color and page boy-style shorts over printed tights, completing the look with a pair of red cowboy boots.

n musician Montaigne also opted for a costume-style ensemble that mixed French renaissance with cowboy girl – and looked disastrous as a result
Dawn Richard’s dress itself was simple and chic – save for the ridiculous tree branches that extended above her, surrounding her in a forest of red leaves
Summer Walker caused a serious stir in a feathered gown that can only be described as ‘Big Bird bridal’ and was made even more outrageous with the addition of a matching feathered hat
Feathers were a firm favorite among this year’s worst-dressed guests – although Coi Leray chose to carry her garish green feathered jacket so as not to conceal what was an incredibly revealing outfit
YouTube star Ve’ondre Mitchell took the Valentine’s Day theme way too far in her over-the-top heart-embellished frock, which left her looking like a Bratz doll

But far from blending the elements seamlessly, the whole look was more eye-sore than elegant.
This year’s Grammys are hosted by Trevor Noah, and will see an array of the industry’s most talented musicians going head-to-head for a wide variety of awards.
This year SZA tops the nominations with a total of nine nods, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song Of The Year. Taylor Swift follows close behind with six nominations, and will also be competing against SZA in the three aforementioned categories.
The majority of Swift’s nominations were for her acclaimed album Midnights and its single Anti-Hero, which earned some of the best reviews of her career.
That track is up for Record of the Year, a category that honors the artists who recorded the song and its producers and engineers, as well as for the Song of the Year category, which honors songwriters. SZA’s track Kill Bill has also been nominated in both categories.
Swift has already made history in the Album of the Year category, currently tied for three previous wins with music legends Frank Sinatra, Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder.
However, she is now poised to become the first-ever person to win the category four times if Midnights ends up victorious this year.
Billie Eilish and Miley Cyrus are also both up for six awards. Eilish’s nominations include Song and Record of the Year for her hit single from the Barbie soundtrack, What Was I Made For?
Cyrus enjoyed a major victory in the opening moments of the show when she scooped her first ever Grammy for best pop solo performance for her hit single Flowers.
That same track is also up for Record and Song of the Year, while her album Endless Summer Vacation has been nominated for Album of the Year.
Olivia Rodrigo is another major name in competition for a trophy.
Not all stars embraced a rainbow fashion palette – there were also plenty of monochrome style misses, too, from the likes of Dara Treseder, Folake Olowofoyeku, and Jade Starling
Ludwig Göransson striped mustard-colored suit was a serious eyesore
All that glitters isn’t gold – at least if you’re Selena Hill or Maria Mendes
Caroline Polachek wore an enormous gown that appeared to have veins running across it from the shoulder
Molly Tuttle (left) looked like a wannabe Vegas showgirl, while Aja Monet’s incredibly revealing gown (right) was made all the more bizarre with the addition of a watermelon-shaped purse
Olivia – who has already won three Grammys – has been nominated for six awards this year, including Album Of The Year, Record Of The Year, and Song Of The Year.
Other major nominees include jazz crossover artist Jon Batiste, the trio Boygenius (made up of Phoebe Bridges, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker), Lana Del Rey, Janelle Monáe and Victoria Monét, who was nominated for Best New Artist and multiple awards for her album Jaguar II and its singles.
In addition to the big names celebrating career achievements, a host of celebrities are set to be presenting at the show.
Christina Aguilera, Lenny Kravitz, Lionel Richie, Mark Ronson, Maluma, Meryl Steep, Samara Joy, Taylor Tomlinson, and Oprah Winfrey have all been announced as presenters.
Audience members and viewers alike will also be treated to an array of incredible performances, with Billie Eilish, Billy Joel, Burna Boy, Dua Lipa, Luke Combs, Olivia Rodrigo, SZA, Travis Scott, and U2 slated to perform.
Folk music icon Joni Mitchell will also be performing for the first time ever at the Grammy awards this year. She too is up for an award for Best Folk Album Category for Joni Mitchel AT Newport [Live].
