45 Biggest Fashion Fails From The 2026 Grammys Red Carpet

We love a fashion risk, but sometimes it misses the mark entirely, leaving us blinking at our screens in disbelief.

At the 2026 Grammy Awards, some stars nailed the drama, but others treated the red carpet like a costume rehearsal and became part of the night’s entertainment.

Fans said Miley Cyrus looked like a “zombie extra in a horror film,” while Heidi Klum’s outfit seemed inspired by Bianca Censori’s infamous birthday suit moment from last year.

Meanwhile, Chappell Roan's dress created the illusion of being held up by her chest piercings, making one fan ask, “Is this legal?”

Here are the looks from the 2026 Grammys red carpet that stood out for all the wrong reasons.

#1 Chappell Roan

Chappell Roan delivered her most jaw-dropping look yet at the Grammys 2026, wearing a dress that appeared to be held up mostly by just confidence.

The singer wore a sheer, burgundy Mugler dress that showed off her temporary tattooos, including one that said “princess” on her lower back.

“Is this legal?” one asked, while another wrote, “Gross... i just ate dinner.”

“Anything to get attention even for second,” one said.

Another wrote, “There’s no way that dress from Chappell Roan doesn’t hurt.”

#3 Yungblud

Yungblud hit the Grammys 2026 red carpet early and, once again, largely shirt-free. 

The British rocker, joined by his girlfriend Jesse Jo Stark, wore leather trousers and an open leather shirt, topped with an animal-print, fur-lined collar.

While he may have scored big points in the fashion department, he did win his first ever Grammy for Best Rock Performance and dedicated it to the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen this dude with a shirt on,” one commented on his outfit.

“Why does he look like that?” one asked.

Another chimed in saying, “I see 6-7 homeless guys a day that look like him.”

“Everytime is see Yungblud it’s CRINGE!!! This dude outfit is not all that,” said another.

#4 Heidi Klum

At this point, Halloween isn’t just a holiday for Heidi Klum. It’s a lifestyle choice.

The 52-year-old model, known as the official queen of Halloween, wore a flesh-colored latex gown that looked like second skin. 

Accessories were minimal, but the impact was maximal with the anatomically embossed outfit.

“Ummm…” a confused-netizen commented on social media, while another said, “Heidi comfortable with being uncomfortable.”

“A lifetime in fashion, yet not a shred of fashion sense. Honestly impressive,” read another comment.

“Halloween Heidi always even at the #GRAMMYs red carpet,” said one. 

“Bianca Censori, 2026 edition,” said another, referring to the Bianca Censori’s scandalous birthday suit moment from last year.

#6 Kesha

After a seven-year Grammys hiatus, Kesha appeared to be wrapped in a very expensive snowstorm for her return to the 2026 Grammys red carpet. 

The 38-year-old singer wore a white Atelier Biser dress, with feathers and a dramatically long train. 

Also, shoes? Nowhere to be found. Kesha walked barefoot on the red carpet, making one social media user ask, “Did she just get out of the shower?”

“She arrived to vacuum the carpet,” one said about her dramatically long train, while another quipped, “The janitor arrived!”

“What’s my tampon doing there?” one asked.

“She’s so proud to have greasy looking hair,” one said.

Another wrote, “Kesha’s Grammys white feathers look like a modern-day wedding crash bomb.”

“Does she have enough gel in her hair?” asked yet another.

Zara Larsson came with an early-2000s pop princess vibe, wearing a golden-yellow bra and maxi-skirt set. custom-made by Germanier. 

“She looks like a vintage Barbie omg,” one commented on her outfit, while another straight up called it “a mess.”

“Not the best,” one said.

Another wrote, “She looks uncomfortable.”

“I wish she had a dramatic train or something though,” one said.

#11 Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus stepped on the red carpet, looking like leather and confusion had a complicated meeting.

Nominated again for Best Pop Vocal Album, the 33-year-old singer wore a monochromatic custom Celine look, complete with a white collared shirt, a leather jacket adorned, trousers, black stilettos, and a gold brooch that could probably be spotted from a football field away.

Her fiancé Maxx Morando appeared alongside her like a supportive sidekick in all-black. 

“It’s giving Hunger Games,” one commented on Miley’s look, while another said, “It’s giving Hannah Montana 2026.”

“I really don't like her black era everything,” said another.

“Miley looks like a zombie extra in a horror film!!! Ugh,” one said.

Another wrote, “They all look terrible… it’s just puzzling.”

#16 Lady Gaga

For anyone who thought a bird had wandered onto the red carpet, don’t worry. It was just Lady Gaga.

Feathers, feathers, and more feathers seemed to be the theme, as she wore a black feathered look from Matières Fécales.

The gown framed the 39-year-old singer’s face, and she had a long train following her around on the red carpet

The Disease singer didn’t have her fiancé Michael Polansky by her side, but her massive oval-cut engagement ring shone brightly on her finger.

“Cute, but how many ostrich [sic]?” one asked, while another wrote, “Looking like a dusty a** black emu!”

“A satanic witch,” one said.

“Gaga, what happened?” another asked. “This is just her bare minimum, we know she can do WAY better…”

#17 Gesaffelstein

French producer and DJ Gesaffelstein won his first Grammy award for Best Remixed Recording for his remix of Lady Gaga's Abracadabra, wearing his signature black face mask.

The arist, whose real name Mike Lévy, accepted his trophy without saying a word. He simply took a bow, blew a kiss to the crowd, and walked off the stage.

Gesaffelstein has appeared in the same masked look at the 2019 and 2024 Coachella Music festivals, as well as other events. However, his trademark look on Sunday night had netizens calling him “Phantom of the Grammies [sic].”

“This should be the new dress code - shut their mouths and show is over in 1 hour,” one said, while another wrote, “weirdos, all of them.”

“Jesus how utterly full of themselves are these people?” one asked. 

Another said, “These people are such soulless fr**ks.”

One couldn’t help but wonder, “What will happens if gaflespin [sic] sneezes in that full face and head mask.”

“It probably isn’t even him. He is probably home relaxing and everyone in the room is thinking he is so cool and edgy,” said another.

Some went as far as to call it “blackface,” a racist practice where non-Black people darken their skin to stereotype or caricature Black people. 

“Not them doing blackface at the #Grammys during Black history month,” one said, while another asked, “Is he wearing blackface to the Grammy's?”

Another said, “Blackface during black history month? 😱” one asked. 

“I guess Hollywood normalized blackface,” said another.
