The Grammy Awards red carpet was recently graced by the members of Boygenius, the acclaimed singer-songwriter supergroup consisting of Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus. Their coordinated entrance certainly turned heads, as all three musicians donned textured white suits created by Thom Browne, along with pink carnation boutonnieres.
This choice of wearing pink carnations was a heartfelt tribute to the late musician Elliott Smith, who tragically passed away in 2003 at the age of 34. The band's song 'We're In Love' features the lyrics, 'I'll be the boy with the pink carnation,' making the significance behind their floral accessory even more poignant.
Staying true to their affinity for menswear-inspired fashion, the members of Boygenius completed their ensembles with shiny black lace-up shoes, a striking red button, and black ties. Each artist added their own personal touch to their appearance. Bridgers, 29, styled her platinum hair in loose waves and opted for white eyeshadow, while Dacus, 28, chose a bold red lip. Baker, 28, maintained a more minimalist approach with a nude lip.
Bridgers, in particular, is being recognized with an impressive seven Grammy nominations this year, with six of those shared with her fellow Boygenius bandmates. The group has already secured multiple wins, including Best Alternative Music Album for their work and Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance for their track 'Not Strong Enough.'
Their nominated song 'Cool About It' is in the running for Best Alternative Music Performance, while their record 'Not Strong Enough' is also under consideration for Record of the Year. Furthermore, Bridgers has garnered an additional nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for her collaboration with SZA on 'Ghost In The Machine.'
This recognition follows Bridgers' noteworthy presence at the 2021 Grammys, where she received four nominations, including Best Alternative Music Album for her widely acclaimed album, Punisher. Her song 'Kyoto' was also nominated for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance, and she was acknowledged in the Best New Artist category.
During her first Grammys red carpet appearance, the 'Moon Song' singer captivated onlookers with a stunning Thom Browne ensemble featuring bedazzled bones. Bridgers humorously shared during an interview that she had been inspired by a Thom Browne dress she had seen in the past, stating, 'I wear a skeleton costume all the time, but one of the reasons I do is because I saw this Thom Browne dress forever ago and thought it was so cool. And I asked for it. I basically stole it.' Her unique and haunting aesthetic has become synonymous with her musical identity.
The performances and achievements of Boygenius and Phoebe Bridgers have undoubtedly made their mark in the music industry. As they continue to captivate audiences with their talent, it's clear that their impact stretches beyond their remarkable music alone.
