On February 2nd, 2025, 16.9 million people watched as the 67th annual Grammy awards were hosted. With roughly 13,000 attendees, there were tons of opportunities for stellar red carpet outfits. The award show’s strict dress code was a black tie, formal event, which many celebs take as a light guideline instead of a dress code. Amongst the hundreds of outfits, there were a clear top 5 favorites of the evening.
5. Doechii
Grammy award winning rapper Doechii arrived on the red carpet in a Thom Browne pinstripe corset, paired with a matching necktie to perfect her signature pinstripe look. This outfit took her on stage to be the third female to ever win a Grammy for Rap Album of the year.
“It’s definitely unique,” a pre-junior Drexel student Macy Sexton noted. “I love the vibe it gives off,” Sexton later added.
4. Gracie Abrams
Indie pop artist Gracie Abrams walked the carpet in a bridal wear inspired Chanel dress with a veil and flower detail. Although she didn’t take any Grammys home with her, she definitely stunned all the guests in her elegant and dainty outfit.
“I feel like she definitely went with the theme,” Palisades senior Aubrey Boushell stated. “It might be too ‘bridal’ for my taste, but it suits her,” she added.
3. Troye Sivan
The “Got Me Started” pop star, known for his feminine, unique style, turned heads on the red carpet in a silk organza Prada suit with a purple crepe de chine scarf to perfect the look.
“The purple is absolutely his color. It just matches him so well,” Sexton noted.
2. Chappell Roan
Chappell Roan, known for her unique, extensive drag outfits, did not disappoint. Wearing a vintage gown from the Jean-Paul Gualtier Spring 2003 couture collection, Roan took home her first Grammy for Best New Artist.
“The outfit is so her,” senior Arianna Renninger replied when asked her thoughts on the outfit. “The colors, the patterns, everything is just so… perfect for her.”
1. Sabrina Carpenter
The pop star brought home two Grammys for best pop performance and best pop vocal album in her blue, satin JW Anderson gown. The dainty style of the dress played into Carpenter’s signature “Polly-pocket” style.
“This one is easily my favorite,” Renninger exclaimed. Sexton agreed with that statement when she said, “it’s so beautiful. I want to wear this.”
It’s safe to say that there were several clear favorites and not-so-favorites among the population. Some of these outfits didn’t necessarily follow the white tie dress code, but they were notable for their own unique purposes, and that sparkle shouldn’t be dimmed by a dress-code.
