Red Carpet Rundown: Pre-Grammy Gala and Grammy Salute to Industry Icons

Posted on February 03, 2026

Before we start winding down our Grammys coverage, we thought we’d take a little time trip back to the Pre-Grammy party, where everyone got a little funky with their style choices. Let’s judge.

 

 

Audrey Nuna (in Thom Browne), EJAE (in LeJe) and Rei Ami (in Miss Sohee)

LOVE. As we noted in their spotlight post, they have a knack for dressing extremely distinct to each other, but still wind up looking like a cohesive group. Thom Browne continues to do right by Audrey. We could do without the bow and trailing sash on EJAE’s top. Rei’s outfit is pure tacky pop star and we love it.

 

Bebe Rexha

She looks like a character in a live-action murder mystery.

 

Chloe Bailey in Christian Cowan
Pin

Sexy, but with an understated elegance. No notes.

 

Chrissy Teigen (in Tom Ford) and John Legend (in Valentino)
Pin

He looks great, but her dress just looks flimsy and cheap to us.

 

Darren Criss

We don’t know why… it always comes off a little tryhard to us. We know that’s not fair, because if Sombr or Benson Boone or even Machine Gun Kelly wore this, we probably wouldn’t have an issue with it.

 

Demi Lovato in Rodarte

Can’t argue with that.

 

Dove Cameron in Georges Hobeika

The design is very dramatic and the color looks great on her. We don’t like the bag or the matching eyeshadow, which both come off a little costumey.

 

Halle Bailey in The New Arrivals
Pin

This is her version of a “get the job done” dress.

 

Heidi Klum in Maria Lucia Hohan
Pin

This is all so very Heidi. It’s tacky, but we don’t mind it, except for the poor fit in the bust.

 

Jelly Roll
Pin

Sure. We have no issues here. The chains actually dress it up a little.

 

Jennifer Hudson
Pin

Love this. We might have liked a boot.

 

Karol G
Pin

Pin

We don’t get the random chains hanging off her. We also think there’s too much jewelry and it’s not well coordinated.

 

Laufey in Miu Miu
Pin

She seems to have a real knack for picking hideous dresses.

 

Lizzo
Pin

Can’t argue with that.

 

Machine Gun Kelly
Pin

The holsters are stupid and honestly, the Chucks give “divorced dad” energy.

 

Paula Abdul
Pin

That’s the good drag.

 

Suki Waterhouse
Pin

The top is kind of interesting for being so weird, but we do not get the office pants or the laundry room sandals.

 

Tyla
Pin

Hot. Love the earrings.
