The 19 Best- and Worst-Dressed Celebs at the 2025 Grammys
It's Grammys night! Officially the biggest night in music! And this year, your favorite musical stars hit the red carpet in looks ranging from chic to eye-popping. In other words, they wore exactly the kind of looks we've come to expect any time musical performers gather to give each other trophies. But if there was one overriding theme for the night, it was a surprising infusion of high, old-school glamour and an unexpected sense of elegance and chicness.Trust the 'Good Luck, Babe!' and Best New Artist nominee to take ballet core to drag levels. The dress, from Gaultier's 2003 Couture collection and adorned with Degas' classic ballerinas, gives exactly the kind of high-drama romanticism that suits her best, but it's the flawless beat that really makes the look entirely her own. It's drag, it's art, it's purely Chappell Roan.
READ MORE ABOUT CHAPPELL'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREThe 'Fortnight' singer and Album of the Year nominee sauntered confidently onto the red carpet delivering straight-up, old-school, uncomplicated glamour and legs for days. There's nothing about this dress that we haven't seen a million times before, but that's not stopping her from looking like a million bucks in it. We wouldn't normally support the idea of matching the dress to the lips to the accessories, but we can't blame a girl for sporting her man's team color as he heads to the Super Bowl.
READ MORE ABOUT TAYLOR'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREWe love these two for always reminding us that the red carpet is as much or more of a branding exercise as it is a fashion one. In other words, attention is the name of the game and these two are masters of it. Why is he wearing Wednesday Addams' dollhouse on his head? Why is she wearing a bathing suit with an overcoat like she ran out of a hotel room on fire? Well, you're looking at them, aren't you? That's why.
READ MORE ABOUT JADEN'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREThe Best Musical Theater Album nominee stunned in this extravagantly chic, borderline over-the-top design that speaks of royal raiment as much as it does red carpet glamour. The simple design of the dress allows the highly detailed corset and headpiece to really shine, and she has the kind of bearing to not let any of it overwhelm her. Just a jaw-droppingly perfect marriage of design and wearer.The 'II Most Wanted' singer has long been one of the best at working retro '70s glam, and this leather Saint Laurent is giving us visions of Cher in Bob Mackie, as it was surely intended to do. It's not a fresh look, but it's breezily uncomplicated and we like how low-key the styling is.
READ MORE ABOUT MILEY'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREThe 'Birds of a Feather' singer and Record of the Year nominee took her singular style in a crisp new direction while remaining true to herself and her preferences. It's got a '90s minimalism that appeals to us, but we really hate the random strings, as well as that bizarre white panel on the back that's giving 'Kick Me' sign.
READ MORE ABOUT BILLIE'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREThe 'Espresso' singer and Record of the Year nominee is the current reigning queen of cutesy-poo hot good-girl style. She has a knack for working looks that could look like jokes on a different wearer, but the thing is, your girl is always in on the joke. Everything she wears comes with a wink implied and this confection of a gown—which is impressively unwrinkled—is no different. She looks adorably hot, if that makes any sense.
READ MORE ABOUT SABRINA'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREWe feel if there's any one celebrity who could make a semi-sheer, super-shiny lavender suit work for them it would be Troye Sivan. Turns out? He can't! Not even a little bit! Looking at this, we're coming to the conclusion that no one can. The 'Got Me Started' singer and Best Dance Pop Recording nominee looks like a rumpled laundry pile and oddly, the pieces he's sporting don't match.The 'Nissan Altima' singer and Best Rap Album nominee looked like she loved her Thom Browne dress, and to be fair, the severe style really suits her, but as much as we love the starkness of the design and the playfulness of the exaggerated hips, that white oxford shirt and prep school tie just isn't working with the rest of it.
READ MORE ABOUT DOECHII'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREWe were all set to make a crack about how mad she must have been when she saw Miley Cyrus wearing a similar dress, but the longer we looked at this, the more we realized the 'Can't Catch Me Now' singer and Best Song Written for Visual Media nominee looks so good in this slinky vintage Versace that she doesn't need to worry about being compared to anyone. We like how simple the style is and how much of a high impact it delivers.
READ MORE ABOUT OLIVIA'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREMother Monster has arrived and she's wearing Elphaba's dress. Not that the 'Die With a Smile' and Song of the Year nominee could ever be accused of being unoriginal. This gown is intricately detailed, incredibly dramatic, and beautifully styled, from the blunt bangs to the boots to that drop-dead stunning Tiffany necklace. It's as classic a goth glam look as you'll find anywhere, but it has a high-fashion chicness to it that only Gaga could make happen.
READ MORE ABOUT LADY GAGA'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREThe Best Country Song nominee for 'The Architect' sported a style that should have worked better for her. We like the idea of country artists working hi-lo glam and we think she's particularly well-suited to it, but we'd have rather seen that gorgeous Ralph Lauren skirt paired with a plain t-shirt than that yoga-looking tank top. The 'lo' just isn't low enough to make the 'hi' part sing.
READ MORE ABOUT KACEY'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREIt's impossible to look at this outrageously romantic Chanel dress and not read it as bridal, which is a style that always looks jarring in a red carpet setting, but the 'Us' singer and Best Pop Duo Performance nominee was so clearly pleased with it that she kind of charmed us into loving it. Not all of it, mind you. Those bows can go.
READ MORE ABOUT GRACIE'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREThe 'Beautiful Things' singer and Best New Artist nominee could not be better suited to the kind of hot swag this somewhat basic Dolce & Gabbana disco suit requires. While we'd have liked seeing it rendered in a more exciting color, there's something to be said for keeping the look toned-down so it doesn't veer into tacky. He looks chic.The '360' singer and Album of the Year nominee brought a hard-edged romantic glamour to the red carpet with this fluffy piece of dryer lint. No, really. The drab gray color of this gown is what makes it work so well for her. If it had been rendered in pink—or worse, Brat green–it would have looked chintzy. But the muted shade along with the kick-ass boots lend it a touch, no-frills chicness.
READ MORE ABOUT CHARLI'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREWe're not entirely sure why, but we really dislike the combination of short, heavily beaded black dress with an oversized white coat. Something about the pairing just looks tacky to our eyes. Or maybe it's the dress itself that bugs. The beading comes off too stiff and armor-like.
READ MORE ABOUT KELSEA'S GRAMMYS LOOK HERELady, you had us until we got to the socks. The 'Broken Man' singer and Best Rock Performance nominee looked classically chic to us at first glance. After all, how can you go wrong with a tuxedo jacket and a pair of transparent tights? We'll tell you how: by adding white socks to the equation. We thought the gloves were a little goofy, and we were willing to go with it, but the knee-highs are an absolute no for us.Just pure feral glam with a drop-dead sexiness to it. Marilyn Monroe herself couldn't have done it any better. The 'Enough' singer and Best Rap Performance nominee has a long history of serving up jaw-dropping high glamour on any red carpet, but this look may be her best one ever. The makeup is flawless, the manicure is giving feline, and the feathers are an unexpected bit of fun.
READ MORE ABOUT CARDI B'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREThe Wicked star and Best Actress Oscar nominee ditched the Elphaba-themed looks she's been sporting most of the year and instead went for more of a sleek, space queen sort of vibe. We're not entirely convinced the metallic panel works with that plunging neckline, but the drama of the design is appealing and it really suits her. The jewelry is really well-chosen and the relative minimalism of the design lets her manicure really shine.

Chappell Roan Reflects on Being Labeled a ‘Villain'
Chappell Roan is making no apologies. While serving as a guest alongside Sasha Colby on an episode of TS Madison's Outlaws posted Monday (May 19), the pop star opened up about embracing her 'villain' era after speaking out about toxic fan behavior last year. And while she was feeling candid, Roan also slammed a particular pop-culture update account. On the topic of her public image, the Missouri native first quipped that she's 'had like three' villain eras since skyrocketing to fame in 2024 following the success of Billboard Hot 100 hit 'Good Luck, Babe!' 'I was the new girl in the pop game, where I was like, 'I don't give a f–k what you say to these girls who have been doing this since they were 10,' she began on the podcast. 'I did not get famous until I was 26, so I had a lot of time to realize, 'Oh, this is what it's like to be an adult and how to be respected in a job.''

Lady Gaga Wins 2025 Sports Emmy for 'Hold My Hand' Pre-Super Bowl Tribute to Disaster Victims A$AP Rocky Teases New Song at Cannes During 'Highest 2 Lowest' Premiere 'I've been treated better at my doughnut shop job than I have on a f–king [red] carpet,' she continued. 'People on the news treat me worse than how customers did. And I think when I started to say, 'Don't talk to me like that' … That doesn't mean that I'm a villain or ungrateful for what I have. It's like, 'Why is this customary?'' Roan went on to compare how certain fans have treated her to the way 'people were so evil' to stars such as Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton in the past. 'That behavior is still, they're still doing it. … Do you want me to just get to the point where I become agoraphobic? Or so stressed out or so anxious to perform?' she said. 'You want me to get to that point? Because if I don't say anything, I will. If I do not stand up for myself, I will quit because I cannot bear this. I cannot bear people touching me who I don't know. I cannot bear people following me.' 'I cannot bear people saying I'm something I'm not,' she added. 'That's what's really hard online. People just assume you're the villain.' The interview comes about nine months after Roan first made headlines for addressing what she saw as 'predatory' fan behavior, calling out obsessive listeners who would touch her without permission or stalk her whereabouts. Her posts on the subject sparked a wider discussion on stan culture and the sacrifices celebrities must make to be in the public eye. Though many sympathized with Roan, others were quick to deem her ungrateful. Regardless, the 'Pink Pony Club' musician has previously said that her experiences in public have improved drastically since she said her piece. 'I think people are scared of me,' Roan said on Call Her Daddy in March. 'I think I made a big enough deal about not talking to me that people do not talk to me. I've been with people, like, friends who are artists, and when they're with me, they're like, 'It's a force field around us. People don't come up to me if I'm with you.'' But now that she's washed her hands of toxic fan treatment, Roan has a few other things she'd like to see 'banned.' While playing a game of 'Ban It, B—h!' on Outlaws, the Grammy winner said she's had enough of people's hot takes — 'I don't care. … You don't know what you're talking about' — as well as cork shoes and a widely followed pop culture account on X. 'Pop Crave,' she said on the show. 'Ban it!' Listen to Roan on Outlaws below.

Why ‘Good Night, and Good Luck's' 1950s story of media intimidation is eerily relevant in Trump's America
The historical echoes in 'Good Night, and Good Luck' are extraordinary. Some might even say they're eerie. On Saturday at 7pm ET, viewers around the world can see for themselves when CNN televises the blockbuster hit Broadway play starring George Clooney. The play transports viewers back to the 1950s but feels equally relevant in the 2020s with its themes of unrestrained political power, corporate timidity and journalistic integrity. Add 'Good Night, Good Luck' on CNN to your calendar: Apple / Outlook or Google The real-life drama recounted in the play took place at CBS, the same network that is currently being targeted by President Donald Trump. That's one of the reasons why the play's dialogue feels ripped from recent headlines. Clooney plays Edward R. Murrow, the iconic CBS journalist who was once dubbed 'the man who put a spine in broadcasting.' Murrow helmed 'See It Now,' a program that pioneered the new medium of television by telling in-depth stories, incorporating film clips and interviewing newsmakers at a time when other shows simply relayed the headlines. In the early '50s, Murrow and producing partner Fred Friendly were alarmed by what Friendly called in his 1967 memoir the 'problem of blacklisting and guilt by association.' At the time, the country was gripped by Cold War paranoia, some of it stoked by Senator Joseph McCarthy's trumped-up claims about communist infiltration of the government, Hollywood and other sectors. In a later era, McCarthy would have been accused of spreading misinformation and attacking free speech. Murrow and Friendly thought about devoting an episode to the senator and his investigations, but they wanted a dramatic way to illustrate the subject. They found it with Milo Radulovich, an Air Force reserve officer who was fired over his relatives' alleged communist views. Radulovich was a compelling, sympathetic speaker on camera, and Murrow's report on him not only stunned viewers across the country, but it also led the Air Force to reverse course. 'The Radulovich program was television's first attempt to do something about the contagion of fear that had come to be known as McCarthyism,' Friendly recalled. That's where 'Good Night, and Good Luck' begins — with a journalistic triumph that foreshadowed fierce reports about McCarthy's witch hunts and attempted retaliation by the senator and his allies. Clooney first made the project into a movie in 2005. It was adapted for the stage last year and opened on Broadway in March, this time with Clooney playing Murrow instead of Friendly. Both versions recreate Murrow's actual televised monologues and feature McCarthy's real filmed diatribes. 'The line between investigating and persecuting is a very fine one,' Murrow said in a pivotal essay about McCarthy, uttering words that could just as easily apply to Trump's campaign of retribution. A moment later, Murrow accused McCarthy of exploiting people's fears. The same charge is leveled against Trump constantly. 'This is no time for men who oppose Senator McCarthy's methods to keep silent, or for those who approve,' Murrow said, sounding just like the activists who are urging outspoken resistance to Trump's methods. In April, Trump issued an executive order directing the Justice Department to investigate Miles Taylor, a former Trump homeland security official who penned an essay and a book, 'Anonymous,' about the president's recklessness. This week Taylor spoke out about being on Trump's 'blacklist,' using the same language that defined the Red Scare of the '50s and destroyed many careers back then. 'People are afraid,' Taylor said on CNN's 'The Arena with Kasie Hunt.' He warned that staying silent, ducking from the fight, only empowers demagogues. Murrow did not duck. Other journalists had excoriated McCarthy earlier, in print and on the radio, but Murrow met the medium and the moment in 1954, demonstrating the senator's smear tactics and stirring a severe public backlash. Afterward, McCarthy targeted not just Murrow, but also the CBS network and Alcoa, the single corporate sponsor of 'See It Now.' McCarthy threatened to investigate the aluminum maker. 'We're in for a helluva fight,' CBS president William Paley told Murrow. The two men were friends and allies, but only to a point. Paley had to juggle the sponsors, CBS-affiliated stations across the country, and government officials who controlled station licenses. In a Paley biography, 'In All His Glory,' Sally Bedell Smith observed that two key commissioners at the FCC, the federal agency in charge of licensing, were 'friends of McCarthy.' The relationship between Paley and Murrow was ultimately fractured for reasons that are portrayed in the play. Looking back at the Murrow years, historian Theodore White wrote that CBS was 'a huge corporation more vulnerable than most to government pressure and Washington reprisal.' Those exact same words could be written today, as CBS parent Paramount waits for the Trump-era FCC to approve its pending merger with Skydance Media. Billions of dollars are on the line. The merger review process has been made much more complicated by Trump's lawsuit against CBS, in which he baselessly accuses '60 Minutes' of trying to tip the scales of the 2024 election against him. While legal experts have said CBS is well-positioned to defeat the suit, Paramount has sought to strike a settlement deal with Trump instead. Inside '60 Minutes,' 'everyone thinks this lawsuit is an act of extortion, everyone,' a network correspondent told CNN. In a crossover of sorts between the '50s and today, Clooney appeared on '60 Minutes' in March to promote the new play. He invoked the parallels between McCarthyism and the present political climate. 'ABC has just settled a lawsuit with the Trump administration,' Clooney said. 'And CBS News is in the process…' There, Jon Wertheim's narration took over, as the correspondent explained Trump's lawsuit. 'We're seeing this idea of using government to scare or fine or use corporations to make journalists smaller,' Clooney said. He called it a fight 'for the ages.' Trump watched the segment, and he belittled Clooney as a 'second-rate movie 'star'.' On stage, Clooney as Murrow challenges theatergoers to consider the roles and responsibilities of both journalists and corporate bosses. Ann M. Sperber, author of a best-selling biography, 'Murrow: His Life and Times,' found that Murrow was asking himself those very questions at the dawn of the TV age. Murrow, she wrote, sketched out an essay for The Atlantic in early 1949 but never completed it. He wrote notes to himself about 'editorial control' over news, about 'Who decides,' and whether the television business will 'regard news as anything more than a saleable commodity?' Murrow wrote to himself that we 'need to argue this out before patterns become set and we all begin to see pictures of our country and the world that just aren't true.' Seventy-six years later, the arguments are as relevant and necessary today.

Sabrina Carpenter Declares War on Mediocre Men With New Single ‘Manchild'
Sabrina Carpenter is not playing with you, your boyfriend, or his male fragility. Fresh off an unstoppable year of chart-topping hits, international tours, and award wins that could make any pop darling sweat through their Skims, the 25-year-old princess of pettiness is teasing new music, and yes, it's already giving iconic chaos energy. Following the global domination of 2024's Short n' Sweet, featuring viral anthems like 'Espresso,' 'Please Please Please,' and 'Taste,' Sabrina has officially entered her God Is a Woman, but She's Also Petty era. After casually sweeping the Grammys with two wins and adding a BRIT Award to her carry-on (yes, she's that booked), Sabrina is once again stirring the pot with a mystery drop that's got fans foaming at the mouth and straight men very nervous. On Monday, Sabrina posted a video to X (formerly known as Twitter) that sent her 2.5 million followers spiraling. In the clip, she's thumbing a ride in what can only be described as two square inches of denim and pure audacity while a sultry voiceover whispers, 'Oh boy.' It didn't take long before the stans, who have collectively earned their PhDs in Pop Cryptography, spotted a series of billboards cropping up along U.S. highways, each one tagged with a mysterious, male-directed phrase: 'Manchild' 'Hey Men!' 'Amen!' 'I Swear They Choose Me, I'm Not Choosing Them!' With slogans this spicy, is Sabrina launching an album or a gender war? Either way, we're ready for battle. For anyone just tuning in: no, this is not Sabrina's first time redefining the art of a slow-burn tease. If Espresso was her 'I'm the fun ex' anthem and Please Please Please was a flirty love letter to red flags, these new clues feel like the inevitable clapback. And while Miss Carpenter hasn't confirmed anything official yet, all signs are pointing to the pop star's 7th studio album being one part breakup therapy, two parts rotted male archetype slander, and one enormous viral moment waiting to happen. Naturally, fans are wondering who exactly this is about. And with whispers of a recent breakup with Irish actor Barry Keoghan floating around, the internet's detective work is in full swing. But knowing Sabrina, it might not be about a man. It might be about all of them. We don't have a title, tracklist, or release date yet, but speculation is out of control. Fan theories on Twitter (sorry, X) range from an EP titled Hey Men! to a full-length concept album called Manchild or Oh Boy. The phrase 'I Swear They Choose Me, I'm Not Choosing Them' is already trending on TikTok and may as well be printed on t-shirts by sundown. Let's be honest. The entire rollout is already giving Lana Del Rey if she did stand-up comedy. It's cheeky, mysterious, and smart as hell. If Sabrina's past year was her soft-serve era, delicious, flirty, and sweet, this next one feels like a knife in the cone. Aesthetic? Absolutely. Personal? Probably. Feminist performance art disguised as pop hooks? Almost definitely. So what's next? Another iconic single? A visual album? A full TED Talk on weaponized incompetence? Whatever it is, the vibes are immaculate, the shorts are illegal in some states, and Sabrina is once again proving she's that girl, not just because she can write a hit but because she can turn heartbreak into a highway campaign. Stay tuned. Stay unbothered. And if you're a man? Stay humble. The post Sabrina Carpenter Declares War on Mediocre Men With New Single 'Manchild' appeared first on Where Is The Buzz | Breaking News, Entertainment, Exclusive Interviews & More.
