Honoring the best of the best in music, the 61st annual Grammy Awards began at 8:00 ET on CBS, and ahead of the show, the stars hit the red carpet giving it their fashion all. The Grammys have been known to feature over-the-top dresses and styles (case in point: Nicki Minaj back in 2012 in a red cape and gloves on the arm of a man dressed as the pope and Lil’ Kim wearing sparkly tights over her bodysuit in 1998). And 2019’s style game did not disappoint. There were tons of beautiful red carpet looks like Lady Gaga‘s custom silver Celine dress, Tracee Ellis Ross‘ green pantsuit and Alicia Keys‘ gorgeous plunging red Armani Prive dress with buttons down the front. And we also saw some pretty wacky looks from Cardi B‘s vintage Mulger look to Katy Perry‘s poofy pink Balmain dress. Hosted by music icon Alicia Keys, the award show featured the best singers, performers and music producers in the world. Big pop performances included Shawn Mendes, Post Malone, Janelle Monáe, Miley Cyrus and Travis Scott while country band Little Big Town and Dolly Parton also took to the stage to represent. But before all of the memorable speeches (à la Drake) and killer performances like the Havana opening, A-listers walked the red carpe to show off their sense of style — bold, clean and everything in between. We’re here to show you every female star’s look who stopped for the cameras. And with this year’s performances being especially female-empowered, they had some pretty great fashion moments. Keep scrolling to check out all the red carpet looks from the 2019 Grammy Awards red carpet.<doc-sep>Sunday's Grammys red carpet, like the year's musical offerings, had hits and misses. Celebrities used the less-stuffy carpet as a chance to show off their personal style in more daring and flashy looks. Here are our favorite looks of the night. Lady Gaga The "Star" looked fab in a strapless Celine by Hedi Slimane metallic dress with a sculpted accent and high slit. She paired her dress with coordinating platinum baubles by Tiffany & Co. Her princess-cut earrings included more than 10 total carats ($580,000), and her necklace, more than 91 total carats, took more than one year to make. Camila Cabello (Havana) ooh-na-na! The "Consequences" singer looked pretty in flamingo pink. Her bedazzled, full-length gown by Armani Privé had long sleeves. She swept her dark locks in a low pony, which grazed her exposed back and showed off her Harry Winston earrings. Alicia Keys We can't help "Fallin' " for Alicia Key's Valentine's Day-ready Armani look complete with Bvlgari jewels. The cherry gown hugged the singer/songwriter's figure perfectly. Miley Cyrus The newlywed suited up for the awards show in a two-piece Mugler look: an over-sized, chest-baring jacket and cropped, flared pants.

Her transparent pants also showed some skin. Dua Lipa Similarly, Dua Lipa shined in silver. Her strapless Versace gown mixed textures of silky gray fabric and gleaming stones, which gave her Bvlgari bling some competition. Lipa's necklace, which also featured emeralds, and her rings totaled more than 100 carats of diamonds. Alessia Cara No "Growing Pains" in terms of style on the carpet for 22-year-old Cara. Her black Self-Portrait dress with lattice lace paired with a red lip is a timeless look that was still fun and age-appropriate. Her Nicholas Kirkwood platform heels sealed the deal. Kacey Musgraves "Follow Your Arrow" seems like good advice if it pointed Musgraves to this drop-waist Valentino gown. The soft blush color complemented her complexion, and the bright red sash served as the perfect pop of color.

The 29-year-old singer took to the 61st Annual Grammy Awards red carpet Sunday wearing a plunging dress with tulle. To accentuate the ensemble was a diamond necklace that matched her earrings and bracelet. With her hair pulled back and her look fully glammed out, she discussed what being on the red carpet meant to her. "I'm wearing Monsoori!" Rexha told Entertainment Tonight. "He won Vogue Arabia's No. 1 designer and he worked with my body and I feel amazing." BEBE REXHA FLIPS OUT OVER AUDIENCE'S JADED RESPONSE TO HER HIT SONG: 'I WORK TOO 'F---ING' HARD FOR THIS' She continued: "I wanted to go for a princess look, but not only that, I had Karl Lagerfeld, Jeremy Scott, Moschino, Christian Siriano and Michael Costello all send me stuff and that was really awesome. I really didn't expect that, so my size 8 a-- is here on the red carpet." The singer, who is nominated for best new artist and best collaboration for “Meant to Be” with Florida Georgia Line, also joked that the beauty of the dress came from the fact that she could eat a burger in it. Her confidence on the red carpet was good news for fans as she tweeted shortly before the event that she was nervous. “I’m so nervous I could die,” she wrote. “Grammy day.” Her red carpet looked carried more metaphorical baggage than most after she took to Instagram weeks ago to reveal to fans that certain unnamed designers didn’t want to style her due to her size. "So, I finally get nominated at the Grammys and it's like the coolest thing ever. And a lot of times artists will go and talk to designers, and they’ll make them custom dresses to walk the red carpet," Rexha said. "So I had my team hit out a lot of designers, and a lot of them do not want to dress me because I'm too big. Literally, like, I'm too big." BEBE REXHA DEFENDS DEMI LOVATO FROM TROLLS AFTER 21 SAVAGE JOKE "If a size 6/8 is too big then I don't know what to tell you," she continued. "Then I don’t want to wear your f---ing dresses. Because that's crazy. You're saying that all the women in the world that are size 8 and up are not beautiful and they cannot wear your dresses."

Lady Gaga Shines in More Than 100 Carats of Diamonds at the 2019 Grammys No one has had a more exciting awards season than Lady Gaga. The superstar continued her red carpet reign on Sunday at the 2019 Grammy Awards, where she won three gramophone statues — one for best pop solo performance for her song “Joanne” and two for her chart-topping rock ballad Shallow from the critically acclaimed film A Star Is Born. And she went for full-on rock star glam in her disco ball-inspired Celine by Hedi Slimane gown. The sparkly design first hit the runway as a mini dress, but the singer made one small tweak for the red carpet: She elongated the hem transforming it into a long column gown with a sexy, thigh-high slit. She teamed the look with metallic Jimmy Choo platforms, loose textured waves and a sexy smoky eye. Gaga also piled on the sparkle via over 100 carats of Tiffany & Co. jewelry including a Tiffany Blue Book Collection necklace that took over one year to design and features 91 total carats of diamonds. She also added princess-cut Tiffany diamond earrings containing a total of 10 carats. 61st Annual GRAMMY Awards - Red Carpet Credit: Kevin Mazur/Getty 61st Annual GRAMMY Awards - Red Carpet Credit: Kevin Mazur/Getty “Since its introduction in 1845, the annual Tiffany Blue Book Collection has served as a laboratory for Tiffany’s most exquisite hand-crafted designs and we are thrilled to have an artist such as Lady Gaga wearing the collection,” Reed Krakoff, Tiffany & Co.
