The stars turned the red carpet into a fashion show

The winners were not the only ones in the spotlight that night. The «Emmy Awards» blue carpet turned into a true fashion runway, with stars opting for shimmering fabrics, delicate shades, classic silhouettes and striking details.

Zendaya was one of the night’s standout stars. The actress arrived in a sheer Prada gown covered in crystals. The dress featured a plunging neckline and shimmered under the camera flashes. Her new hairstyle also drew plenty of attention – Zendaya debuted a short pixie cut.

However, the most exciting moment came after her appearance on the carpet. Inside the ceremony, Zendaya reunited with her husband, Tom Holland. The couple rarely attend public events together, so their shared evening immediately drew attention.

Selena Gomez opted for a striking gold Louis Vuitton look. Her figure-hugging metallic gown was reminiscent of the Emmy statuette itself. The actress kept her jewelry to a minimum, allowing the dress to take center stage.

Nicole Kidman also caught everyone’s attention. After a nine-year absence, the actress returned to the «Emmy Awards» in a white Chanel gown. The dress featured voluminous feather details, creating a look that was both delicate and sculptural.

Lisa Kudrow chose understated elegance. The «Friends» star appeared in a long black Celine gown paired with a cropped jacket. Minimalist jewelry completed the look. Kudrow skipped bold experiments, but her appearance was effortlessly stylish.

Sisters Elle and Dakota Fanning also attracted plenty of attention. Elle chose a delicate mint Ralph Lauren gown. She paired the lightweight shimmering dress with Cartier jewelry.

Dakota, by contrast, opted for a striking black-and-white Carolina Herrera gown with a 1920s-inspired silhouette. A statement diamond piece completed the look.

Sarah Pidgeon became one of the most talked-about guests of the evening. The actress appeared in a lilac Chanel gown embellished with pearls and crystals. The look recalled the style of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, whom Pidgeon portrayed in the series «American Love Story».

Florence Pugh also embraced the soft lilac trend. Her Vivienne Westwood gown featured a corset-style bodice, draping and a long train. The result was romantic and distinctly Hollywood.

The ceremony also brought an exciting reunion between Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz. The «Buffy the Vampire Slayer» stars appeared together in public once again. Gellar dazzled in a pink Versace gown, while Boreanaz opted for a classic black suit. Their joint appearance was one of the evening’s most nostalgic moments.

Emilia Clarke also joined the lilac trend. She appeared in a Prada gown featuring an off-the-shoulder neckline, a fitted bodice and a long skirt. A lightweight cape and a statement detail at the slit completed the look.

The biggest event in the music world

The 68th annual Grammy Awards 2026 took place in Los Angeles – one of the most prestigious accolades in the global music industry. At the Crypto.com Arena, members of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences announced the year’s biggest musical triumphs.

This year, Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga, and Bad Bunny led the nominations – artists who have long transcended genres and actively shape the global music agenda.

Winners in the main categories

Song of the Year – Billie Eilish, Wildflower

Record of the Year – Kendrick Lamar was the evening’s big winner, taking home five out of nine nominations. This solidified his status as the most awarded hip-hop artist in Grammy history, bringing his total to 26. Previously, Jay-Z held the record with 25 awards (2025).

Album of the Year – Bad Bunny won the night’s top prize, seen both as an artistic and political statement. Many interpreted his victory as a response from the music community to Donald Trump’s strict immigration policies. This marks the first time in Grammy history that a Latin American artist and a Spanish-language album have won Album of the Year. In just a week, Bad Bunny will perform during the Super Bowl halftime show, cementing his status as a global pop icon.

Best New Artist – Olivia Dean

Best Pop Vocal Album – Lady Gaga, Mayhem

Best Rap Album – Kendrick Lamar, GNX

Best R&B Album – Leon Thomas, Mutt

The full list of winners is available on the official Grammy website.

The ceremony was remembered not only for the awards but also for the spectacular performances. Among the most talked-about were Lady Gaga’s hardcore rendition of the cult hit «Abracadabra» and Justin Bieber’s eccentric stage appearance. The singer walked on stage in only his underwear, showcasing a new tattoo on his back – a portrait of his wife Hailey – instantly causing a sensation across social media and tabloids.

Beyond honoring the winners, the red carpet looks drew just as much attention.

The most eccentric outfit of the night was Chappell Roan in a topless Mugler dress – a bold, deliberately provocative look that went viral immediately.

The trend of «bare» outfits was continued by Heidi Klum. The model revisited Bianca Cenzori’s controversial look from last year, presenting a more restrained and refined version.

Tyla also drew attention: the singer appeared in a vintage Dsquared2 look from the Fall-Winter 2013 collection.

Addison Rae delivered a memorable fashion homage, inspired by Marilyn Monroe in an Alaïa dress.

The Haim sisters opted for understated elegance, posing in Louis Vuitton ensembles.

Billie Eilish chose classic minimalism in a sleek Hodakova outfit, while Lady Gaga showcased a dramatic black feathered gown, reaffirming her status as the queen of theatrical glamour.

Miley Cyrus embraced a total black aesthetic in a Celine suit.

In contrast, Sabrina Carpenter wore a feminine and striking Valentino dress, breaking up the evening’s predominantly monochrome palette.

Justin and Hailey Bieber, often criticized for mismatched outfits, surprised with coordinated style: both appeared in black total looks – Hailey in Alaïa, Justin in Balenciaga – each accented with Ice-Out pins as a statement against Trump’s immigration policies.

Another power couple, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, made an equally elegant entrance in Caroline’s Couture outfits.
