Six Comeback Fashion Trends We Love To See In 2025

If there’s one thing that’s louder than the music at the Grammys, it’s the red carpet looks. Fashion is all about making a statement and no one does it better than music’s biggest night where talented icons in the industry get glammed up for the celebrations. Last Sunday night’s red carpet was a true spectacle as the 67th Annual Grammy Awards commenced, becoming the runway for some of the most breathtaking fashion moments of the year. 

Vintage glam seemed to be a recurring trend on the carpet as stars like Chappel Roan and Olivia Rodrigo donned looks from designers’ archives. There were also a lot of shimmering dresses and edgy black leather worn by pop stars like Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and Miley Cyrus, as well as smart tailoring as seen on Billie Eilish, Doechii, and Janelle Monáe. 

From elegant couture to bold, statement-making looks, here are our favorite standout ensembles on the Grammys 2025 red carpet.

Taylor Swift

“Loving him was red,” indeed, as the Eras tour headliner dazzled in a shimmering red minidress from Vivienne Westwood. Taylor Swift never goes out of style and has worn some of the best red carpet looks over the years — all the while breaking records left and right. The “Cruel Summer” singer was nominated for six categories that night, including Album of the Year, and what better way to celebrate than to be in something she can move and dance around in? Genius!

She accessorized the look with red heels and a metal leg chain with a tiny “T.” Could this be a nod to his beau Travis Kelcey and that sultry lyric at the beginning of the chorus of her song “Guilty as Sin,” or maybe it means Taylor’s debut TV is coming? We’ll leave it to the Swifties to decode the easter eggs. 

Sabrina Carpenter

Another singer working late Sunday night is Sabrina Carpenter who brought Old Hollywood glam onto the red carpet with a satin powder-blue gown featuring a backless mermaid silhouette and feather accents. The dress was created by Irish designer Jonathan Anderson, who shared the stunning fashion moment on his IG stories. What we love most about this look is how it perfectly captures her image which she had donned throughout her “Short N’ Sweet” era. 

The “Espresso” singer accessorized the look with matching blue platform peep-toe mules and diamond-encrusted jewelry, which was the star of the show. She had a long string of nineteen carats of Chopard diamonds trailing down her back, which ended in the gorgeous D-flawless brilliant cut gemstone from Chopard's Garden of Kalahari Collection. The necklace is reported to have an estimated cost of one million dollars! 

The singer’s stylist, Jared Ellner, also included drop earrings and a 10.10-carat oval diamond ring from the same jeweler. On the other hand, Sabrina’s second look was thanks to Versace — a gold shimmering dress that got its turn in the spotlight when she received the Best Pop Vocal Album award. 

Chappell Roan

Another singer bringing the vintage drama on the red carpet is Best New Artist, Chappell Roan, who donned a Jean Paul Gaultier ball gown featured in the designer's 2003 couture runway. The yellow dress is elaborately tiered and is a literal piece of art as it includes prints of ballerinas inspired by Edward Degas’ famous paintings.

A true midwestern princess, the “Good Luck, Babe!” hitmaker matched it with sheer turquoise gloves, a feathered headpiece, and her signature clown-inspired glam. It’s bold, eccentric, and so Chappell! A true statement of identity!

ICYDK, this wasn’t the first time the gown was worn by an icon. Beyonce reportedly wore the same design in an Elle magazine spread during her Destiny’s Child days. 

Olivia Rodrigo

There’s nothing sour about this look. In fact, we might even suggest Olivia Rodrigo name her next album, “Hot,” because there’s just something about a sultry black dress! From the fit down to the glam, the three-time Grammy winner brought this vintage Versace plunging black halter gown back to life on the red carpet, turning heads with its sexy elements like the cut-out sides and nearly open back! 

Donatella Versace paid tribute to the artist with a heartwarming Instagram post saying: “@oliviarodrigo, you bring so much power and confidence to the Grammy’s red carpet in this Versace Spring- Summer 2000 dress. You are enchanting ✨”

The Lancôme ambassador paired the look with some Tiffany and Co. jewels, and dare we say it, a man by her side. Olivia attended solo in the past years, so it was a delightful surprise when she arrived with her boyfriend and “Enola Holmes” actor, Louis Partridge.

Charli XCX

“Brat” was the album of the summer and British singer Charli XCX became the belle of the ball with a custom corset gown by Ludovic de Saint Sernin for Jean Paul Gaultier. 

The corset bodice had a lace-up detailing at the back, which was one of its standout features. This structured element balanced the dramatic ruffled skirt, which featured a slit that reached her thigh, and showcased her knee-high black boots. The gown was said to have been inspired by a combination of looks from Gaultier's recent Paris couture runway. The ruffles extended to the sleeves and neckline, which created a balanced and elegant look. 

The “Guess” singer accessorized it with Bucherer Fine Jewelry and her signature bold makeup glam with loose waves. The only thing we didn’t love was the color. Could’ve gone with something bolder, perhaps “Brat Green?” But that’s just us. We love it overall and kind of reminded us of Ariana Grande’s poofy ball gown way back in 2020. 

Shaboozey

It wasn’t just the women slaying on the red carpet but also the gentlemen. Just take Shaboozey who donned a custom Diesel suit. This is the first time the country singer is attending the prestigious awards show where he secured five nominations including two of the Big Four categories for his track, “A Bar Song (Tipsy).”

The ensemble featured a glen-plaid leather double-breasted jacket with a matching fringed scarf, which we thought elevated the entire look. He paired it with black pants, then finished the look with a Lotus diamond brooch by De Beers Jewelry and a Jacob & Co.’s Ashoka diamond watch. 

Troye Sivan

Another best-dressed gentleman of the night is singer-songwriter Troye Sivan who graced the red carpet with a custom Prada suit that gave off a sense of tranquility. Amid the edgy leathers and bright sequins, Troye walked in, and it was like a breath of fresh air with his delicately crafted suit made of sheer silk organza in varying hues of lilac and lavender, which made it stand out from the formal black and grays of the evening. 

The “Strawberries and Cigarettes” singer was styled by Marc Forne, who completed the look with a matching scarf pinned with a diamond brooch. The artist reportedly collaborated with Prada on the design, which was inspired by a purple organza dress worn by Uma Thurman in 1994. 

We thought it was a lovely choice considering it’s one of the lucky shades of the year and gives a softer appearance to a masculine look.

Cardi B

Sabrina Carpenter isn’t the only one who wore feathers at the grand night because Cardi B also dazzled us with a red carpet stunner last Sunday night!

The rapper donned a golden tiger patterned gown that showed off her curves, proving that animal prints are here to stay! 

This is what we mean when a dress should hug you in all the right places. The Roberto Cavalli masterpiece fit her like a glove, highlighting the impressive craftsmanship with a sequined mermaid silhouette and full feather train. Gold and diamond Le Vian earrings and jeweled serpent cocktail rings completed her look, overall making it one of the most memorable looks of the night.  

You probably know that denim is uber-popular. But did you ever wonder why? Denim was popularized in the late 1800s when Levi Strauss (popularly known for the brand Levi’s) and Jacob Davis patented pants that would soon be known as blue jeans. Since then, fashion houses and brands have banked on the popularity of denim, turning it into pants, shirts, bags, dresses, and more.

Not only is the material itself chic and easy to wear, but denim is also comfortable, sturdy, durable, and easy to wash. If you’re wondering how you can incorporate this well-loved item into a modern and sophisticated wardrobe for the 2020s, then here’s how:

Wide Legged Jeans

Skinny jeans have been out for some time. Everyone’s going for loose, leggy, and wide! If you’re looking for the perfect pair, there is no better place to look than at Uniqlo. Among their new line of jeans is the Wide Tapered Jeans; while the pair is marketed towards men, it definitely comes in a unisex fit.

Their Wide Tapered Jeans have a unique barrel cut that makes for a sleek, laidback look. If you’re looking to incorporate some retro, streetwear vibes, these jeans are the way to go. Pair these with heels, a fitted top, and a blazer for a laidback look that’s also very much appropriate for business events or office meetings.

Jorts

If you hate jorts, you’re wrong. Versatile, casual, and super comfortable, jorts are easily becoming a summer must-have. While they’re best worn during vacation – maybe with a cute bikini top to match – they’re also great for running errands or even for a casual brunch date. We suggest pairing it with a crop top to balance out the proportions as on-trend jorts are usually a little longer and baggier.

For a really good pair, turn to Agolde. Their Dame denim shorts are a great pair to have during the summertime, with a loose, comfortable fit that’s easy to run, walk, or dance around in.

Denim Jumpers

Denim jumpers are the cutest thing. All you have to do is throw it over a white tee or long-sleeve and voila! Outfit ready.

Levi’s is invaluable in supplying fashionistas with this wardrobe must-have. A heritage brand, they’ve definitely perfected the art of making denim. For example, their Denim Wide-Leg jumpsuit is an easy ready-to-wear outfit on days you don’t feel like thinking too hard about an OOTD. Its wide-legged jean style and metallic buttons imbibe that retro feel that’s oh-so-trendy right now.

Denim Outerwear

A good denim jacket is an absolute must! Not only will this keep you warm, but it’s also easy to throw on. If you’re looking to take it a step up, we suggest investing in a denim blazer. Unlike denim jackets, which often have a slouchy silhouette, a well-tailored denim blazer can be designed to cinch at the waist for a clean, feminine curve.

Cinq a Sept’s Danicka blazer is a fantastic example of how a denim blazer can up your look. Don it over a maxi or midi dress for something easy and refined.

Denim Heels

A capsule shoe wardrobe will require black or nude heels, beige or white flats, and a good pair of running shoes. But if you’re looking to add something eye-catching yet easy to pair, you should definitely consider denim heels. These shoes are so easy to style but make a huge fashion statement! They pair well with other denim bottoms such as shorts or jeans and can even be worn with white slacks or chinos.

Diesel and Good American are two brands that do denim heels really well. For an easy silhouette, try Good American’s Barely There strap heel in denim; this pointed-toe pair is sure to become your next go-to heel.
