While Who What Wear covers a lot of awards shows, the Grammys play a particularly significant role in the industry that is impossible to ignore (let’s not forget Beyoncé’s 2017 performance or last year’s red-carpet looks). With nominees including Harry Styles, Meghan thee Stallion, and, of course, Taylor Swift, we can rest assured that this year’s show—one of the first since COVID-19—will be remembered for years to come. But before we get ahead of ourselves, we’ve identified the best red carpet looks from the 2021 Grammy Awards. Now it’s up to the people to decide who is worthy of the grand prize.
