A ranking of the celebrity outfits at the 2025 Grammys, from cringiest to coolest

The red carpet at the 2025 Grammys was honestly such a fever dream. Castles on heads? Giant grey ruffles? Bianca Censori’s buttocks?  Here is an extremely analytical and perhaps overly snarky ranking of celebrity outfits at the 2025 Grammys, from worst to best. Because you know you get more joy out of going “Omg, he has a castle on his head!” than you do by just saying, “Oh, she looks nice”.

8. Whatever the hell Bianca Censori was wearing (or not wearing)

(Image via YouTube but censored by me for the benefit of everyone’s eyes)

Sorry, but this deserves a whole tier by itself. To recap, Bianca Censori rocked up to the red carpet in a fur coat with a load of extra security, then dramatically dropped the coat to reveal an extremely, er, revealing outfit. She wore a very, very sheer dress and nothing underneath. It was reported that Kanye West and Bianca Censori hadn’t been invited to the Grammys and were thrown out of the event. It looks now like they actually left voluntarily. But Bianca might have committed an actual crime by indecently exposing herself?! The plot thickens (unlike the fabric of the dress).

7. Jaden Smith and the castle??????

I’m so confused by Jaden Smith’s outfit. Maybe it has a really deep insightful meaning that I’m too stupid to comprehend. Or maybe it’s just a bit weird. The Louis Vuitton suit is deliberately a weird shape. And who thought the castle thing was a good idea? Did he get ready in his old bedroom, hear the chauffeur ring the doorbell, panic his outfit was too basic, and stick his head in an old dollhouse?

6. The music industry

Boring reeeeeeeeeeeed (that’s funny if you’re a Swiftie I promise)

I’m a bit scared to type the letters “Taylor Swift” in case it summons an angry mob of Swifties who start pelting my door with plastic bracelets and demanding I write 1,000 words of praise about her instead. But this dress is so f*cking boring and nobody can change my mind. It would look cute in the Love Island villa, but it looks so out of place on a Grammys red carpet. This is not what we expect from a Vivienne Westwood fit.

What’s even more annoying is that half the internet is buzzing about the dress being red because that American football man often chucks the ball around while wearing a red shirt. Or maybe Taylor Swift is wearing red… because it’s her signature colour and she has a whole bloody album called Red? Just spitballing here, that perhaps a woman can do something without it being all about a man?

5. Hannah Montana (oh wait) Miley

Sorry, Miley Cyrus. We loved the subtle Hannah Montana reference in your speech. But this red carpet outfit is deeply unremarkable. The dress looks like Miley bought it at Zara for her graduation, not the Grammys. The fabric also has a quality very reminiscent of bin bags.

You could have bought yourself floweeeeeers and a better dress

4. Gracie Abrams

I don’t get it

Gracie Abrams’s outfit looks like it belongs in a Star Wars prequel, not at the Grammys red carpet. The actual dress is very plain and very typically Chanel, in a bad way. The headdress is giving bridal vibes, which just feels like a jarring choice for this event.

3. Von Dutchess Charli

I can’t explain why but I also really rate Charli XCX’s dress. She looks like a demon ostrich smoke spirit from a romatasy novel, but like in a really good way.

2. The Princess of the Midwest

Chappell Roan ran through a gazillion different outfits that evening, and each were vibier than the last. Yes, I know they could also all qualify for the “weird” category, but if you don’t understand that they’re part of her whole vibe, then that’s on you. She rocked up to the red carpet in a truly sensational golden ballgown. It’s from Gaultier’s 2003 Couture collection and the fabric has images of Edgar Degas’s semi-famous paintings of ballerinas.

To sing Pink Pony Club, she wore a spangly leathery leotard and cowgirl boots, which feels on brand. When she accepted the award for Best New Artist and made a really moving speech about problems in the music industry, she wore this puffy white dress.

It did sort of look like someone threw an ordinary sheet around her, fastened it with safety pins, and proclaimed it a ballgown. But that fitted the points she was making about the music industry not taking care of new artists. Honestly, she’s so deep.

I can’t explain why but I also really rate Charli XCX’s dress. She looks like a demon ostrich smoke spirit from a romatasy novel, but like in a really good way.

1. Queen Bey

Praise the Lorde that Beyoncé finally won the album of the year Grammy. I can’t get enough of Beyoncé’s reaction to winning best country album, or her outfit.

Can’t wait for the memes

Beyoncé wore very spenny Lorraine Schwartz jewellery and a gorgeous golden sequin dress. I want to wallpaper my house with the fabric.
