On April 4, the 64th annual Grammy officially opened in Las Vegas.
As one of the most "open" music awards ceremonies in recent years, the number of nominations in this year's Grammys' main category has increased from 8 to 10. Jazz musician Jon Batiste led 11 award nominations, eight from the album We Are and three from his soundtrack to the 2020 Pixar film Soul. It was followed by Justin Bieber, Doja Cat and H.E.R with eight nominations each, while supernova Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo (nicknamed "Yaya") each received seven nominations. But surprisingly, Justin Bieber and Billie Eilish accompanied the whole race and did not win any awards.

In addition to the intoxicating audition feast, the variety of styles of the stars on this year's Grammys has also brought more surprises to people.
The awards ceremony opened with Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak's Slik Sonic, a supergroup that performed "Kate" and "777", igniting the atmosphere. This time, they won four Grammy Awards such as Production of the Year and Song of the Year with their first hit single "Leave the Door Open".

Next up was 19-year-old singer Olivia Rodrigo, who wore a Givenchy white asymmetric ballet skirt and Wolford fishnet socks to sing her record-record 1 billion hit single "Drivers License" and recreated the plot of the song's MV on stage. The black platform boots not only continue Olivia Rodrigo's punk rock style of dress, but also complement her overall look.
This year's Grammys won three awards for Newcomer of the Year, Best Pop Vocalist, and Best Pop Vocal Album for her debut album Sour.

The world-famous idol boy band BTS (Bulletproof Youth Group) was once again invited to perform at the Grammy Awards. This time, they appeared as solo performers in the Grammys, which have said their performances will be the largest. At the same time, they were also nominated for "Best Pop Duet/Group".
This is the fourth time BTS has attended a Grammy awards ceremony and has been nominated for the award for the second time. This time, they wore a double-sided jacket from Korean fashion brand Tailorable to perform the single "Butter".

This time, all of Lil Nas X's outfits, including the red carpet look, came from Balmain. Among them, the "armor" set with white pearls and decorated with colorful butterfly motifs is matched by Lil Nas X with matching thick-soled shoes.

During the show, Lil Nas X changed into three different outfits. He wore a black coat and cloak when singing his first song, "Dead Right Now"; a short, jewel-encrusted top for "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)," and a sparkling, military-style black jacket with white details for his final song, Industry Baby, alongside Jack Harlow, who joined later.

Later, Dua Lipa and Megan Thee Stallion wore Versace dresses and took the stage together to present the Best Newcomer Award as guests. Before announcing the final grand prize winner, they greeted Donatella Versace in the audience and invited her to join her on stage. After Donatella Versace took the stage, she removed the long skirts outside their dresses, showing different styles of the same dress.
It's a reminder of the unforgettable scene at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1998 when Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston joined forces.

This time, Lady Gaga didn't continue her previous exaggerated look, and the Armani Privé black-and-white stitched gown on the red carpet made her look elegant and noble.

At the awards ceremony, Lady Gaga changed into an Elie Saab couture aqua blue silk dress with a large bow on the back of the skirt. That night, Lady Gaga and legendary singer Tony Bennett were nominated for five awards for their collaborative album Love for Sale, which eventually won the best traditional pop singing album.

Doja Cat and Sza won the Best Pop Duet/Group Award for Kiss Me More, and their look that night can be described as a stunning four-seater. Doja Cat wears a jewel-embellished high-slit pink see-through gown, while Sza wears a medieval dress from Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring 2006 collection. Doja Cat happened to be in the bathroom at the time of the award, so there was a funny episode of her trotting along the way with her skirt.

The most watched star of the night was Jon Batiste. He is the most nominated artist this year, with a total of 11 award nominations. This time, Dolce & Gabbana created more than 40 looks for Jon Batiste and his choir and band.

During the performance, Jon Batiste sang the song "Freedom", and the performance was so exciting that the audience stood up to admire his performance. In the end, Jon Batiste won back five Grammy awards. Among them, his album "We Are" won the Album of the Year Award. WWD
