Grammy Awards 2022: Best dressed on the red carpet

Stars of the music industry are often far more daring in their dress than their silver screen counterparts. So the biggest red carpet event in the singing and songwriting world, the annual Grammy Awards, promises some extravagant gowns and iconic style moments.

As celebrities take to the red carpet, a penchant for purples and pinks has emerged. From Laverne Cox's magenta mane to host Trevor Noah's pastel pink blazer, there's a clear portion of the rainbow celebrities are wearing today.

Stepping out at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, here are the best dressed celebrities on the red carpet.

Trading in her dark hair for a Donatella Versace-inspired blonde mane, Lipa is head-to-toe in the aforementioned designer's early 90s look with heavy gold embellishment and harness detailing dominating her floor-length dress.

While her husband went for bold in oversized Balenciaga, Hailey Bieber held her own while offsetting Justin's look in an understated white Saint Laurent gown.

In long black gloves and a form-fitting black dress with purple detail, seven-times nominated Rodrigo speaks to two trends on this year's red carpet.

Metallic pink Gucci is a winning choice for St. Vincent. The form fitting gown brings old Hollywood vibes but ups the ante with heavy pops of peachy pink.

Poured into glittering powder-blue Versace, the eight-time nominee is both sleek in her corset and sheer overlay and swimming against the wave of purple and pink shades on the carpet today.

Grammy Awards host and comedian Trevor Noah is on trend with a pastel pink blazer and sharp suiting, appearing perfectly poised for whatever today's ceremony may throw at him.

Hosting E!'s red carpet coverage, Cox cuts an hour-glass figure in black lace and tulle. Adding the kind of music-industry "extra" we expect from the Grammys, she's also opted for a striking magenta mane and makeup to match.
